The Portwest AB198 antistatic ESD work glove is specifically designed for professionals working in environments where static electricity poses a risk to sensitive components. These gloves are ideal for precision tasks in the electronics industry and precision mechanics. Thanks to their precise fit and high-quality materials, this model offers the necessary protection and required comfort during long-term work on the shop floor.
For which specific tasks and sectors is this ESD work glove most suitable?
These gloves have been specifically developed for sectors such as electronics assembly, ICT hardware assembly, and testing laboratories. In these environments, microscopic electrostatic discharges can cause irreparable damage to circuit boards and microchips.
Thanks to the fingertip-dipped finish, the user retains maximum finger sensitivity and precision when handling very small parts. The smooth PU coating on the fingertips provides excellent grip, while the rest of the hand can breathe through the uncoated, seamless liner.
What does the EN 16350 standard mean for this antistatic ESD work glove?
The EN 16350:2014 standard indicates that this glove meets the strict requirements for electrostatic properties. With a vertical resistance of less than 1.0 x 108 Ohm, this model guarantees the safe dissipation of static electricity.
This effectively prevents the buildup of electrostatic charge, which is crucial in ATEX zones and when working with sensitive electronic components. Additionally, the glove offers mechanical protection according to the EN 388:2016 standard with a rating of 1131X for basic resistance to abrasion and tearing.
The breathable 13-gauge seamless liner ensures an excellent fit and long-lasting comfort, while the packaging of 12 pairs ensures favorable value for money.
