Description
The Portwest A356 ESD work glove is specially designed for professionals in need of reliable hand protection in electrostatically sensitive work environments. Thanks to its innovative materials, this glove prevents static discharges that could damage sensitive components. The model combines excellent dexterity with a durable construction, making it an indispensable tool for precision tasks that require protection for both the user and electronic components.
For which specific tasks and sectors is this ESD work glove most suitable?
This glove is ideally suited for the electronics sector, high-tech assembly, and precision industries where static electricity can damage components. Thanks to its silicone-free design, the model is also ideal for painting applications, glass processing, and automotive manufacturing environments where silicones can cause paint defects.
The nitrile micro-foam coating on the palm provides superior grip on dry and slightly oily parts, which is essential when assembling micro-electronics and fine mechanical parts.
What does the EN 16350 standard mean for this ESD work glove in daily use?
The EN 16350 standard guarantees that this glove meets strict European requirements for electrostatic properties, which is crucial in ATEX zones and ESD safety zones. This means the glove has a low electrical resistance, allowing static charges to be safely and controlledly dissipated through the body.
In combination with the EN 388 mechanical protection, this model offers not only safety against static discharges but also excellent abrasion and tear resistance during intensive assembly work.
The flexible 15-gauge liner fits the hand perfectly, and the touchscreen compatibility makes it easy to operate mobile devices and scanners.
