Kinetronics 700001 Anti-static Microfiber Cloth, 10x18-Inch Tiger Cloth

Product Information

Anti-static clothing is made from materials that are designed to prevent the build-up of static electricity. Depending on the ESD-safe garment you choose to purchase, ESD-safe garments will be made with a plethora of connective fibres that help to redirect ESD away from the worker’s skin and instead connect to the ground surroundings, thereby Earthing out the clothing and the worker; this protects the static sensitive components that the operator may be working on from any potential static damage. Based on information from US Patent 3,639,807: Low-static carpet by Thomas B Mccune, Hudson Wire Co, 1972.

Whatever you are looking for, we are sure to be able to supply it—regardless of whether you are after ESD products or ESD training, we are the team you need to help you! An EPA can be as large or as small as you need it to be, but don’t go too big or too small as this will impact on the suitability of the static safe environment for your workers. Additionally, our ESD training will help you learn how to keep you, your facilities, your products and your workers safe. Clothing made from antistatic materials provides a barrier against ESD, which is especially important for those working with static sensitive electronic components and devices.For example, this can occur between an electrical component in the workplace and the NON ESD clothing that your workers are wearing. Here at Anti Static ESD, our anti static flooring and anti static m ats are made with premium materials.

The most common type of anti-static clothing is made from a blend of polyester and carbon fibre, which creates a conductive fabric that can dissipate static charges. Antistatic clothing is an essential part of the equipment used in this industry, as it helps prevent static electricity build-up that can lead to dangerous sparks.

In the 1980s, English trading standards officers prosecuted a company for selling anti-static strips because they simply do not work as described: car tires are 10 million times more effective at transmitting static charges to Earth (New Scientist, 4 July 1985, p. You've probably seen cars driving along with little black strips dangling down from the back touching the road. Multiple use, ideal for photographic films, LCD/TFT screens, vinyl records, CD/DVD, foils, dashboards, etc. ESD occurs when two objects or surfaces with different levels of electrical charge come into contact with each other, causing a sudden flow of current that can damage electronic components. If you want to set up an ESD protected area within your business’ work space, then there are a few different things that you will need to think about.

Let’s take this as an example: if your regular (high-insulating) clothes were to generate a static charge, the charge could still disperse into the surrounding area and potentially onto a static sensitive device damaging it, despite wearing an ESD-safe wrist-strap. The 10″ x 18″ (250mm x 450mm) black cloth has stripes of effective conductive fibers knit every 1/8″ or 4mm that dissipate or drain off static charges. The production of medicines and other pharmaceutical products involves handling sensitive chemicals that are highly flammable. The theory is that strips like this prevent static electricity from building up on the car body, reducing radio interference, electric shocks when you open the doors, and car sickness. Our ESD training plans are designed to give you and your workers an understanding of the dangers of electrostatic discharge.

At Berkshire, we believe because the smallest measure can make the biggest difference when it comes to protecting your sensitive electronic devices from the clutches of ESD. They're generally tiny so they don't detract from the carpet's overall appearance, but not so flimsy that they wear out quickly or cause problems during manufacturing. Considering that plastic bags can easily generate static of 10,000v, it is thus clear to see how little this actually is. Antistatic clothing is an essential tool in minimising fire and explosion risks, especially in workplaces where flammable materials are used.
