Anti-static/ESD clothing

How does antistatic clothing work?

ESD clothing contains thin conductive fibres woven into the main fabric, which dissipate static charge through the body and floor before a discharge can occur. This prevents damage to electronics and reduces the risk of igniting flammable vapours.

Working fully antistatic

See our ESD jackets, trousers and coveralls for complete protection. Combine this with ESD footwear and ESD gloves so the conductivity isn't interrupted.

When is ESD clothing mandatory?

ESD clothing is often mandatory in the electronics industry, cleanrooms and explosive (ATEX) environments. If you're combining this with other risks such as flames, look at our Multinorm collection for clothing that combines both properties.

Frequently asked questions

Why is ESD clothing important when working with electronics?

Static discharge can permanently damage sensitive electronic components; ESD clothing dissipates the charge in a controlled way before this happens.

Does ESD clothing work without conductive footwear?

Not optimally: conductivity runs through the whole body to the floor, so combine ESD clothing with ESD footwear for a fully conductive circuit.

Is ESD clothing the same as flame-resistant clothing?

No, these are two different properties; clothing that combines both can be found in our Multinorm collection.

How long does the antistatic effect last?

With normal use and washing according to the label instructions, the conductive effect remains intact for a long time; replace clothing as soon as the fibres are visibly damaged.
