The Portwest A697 ESD work glove is an advanced cut-resistant glove specifically designed for professionals working in sensitive electronic environments. These gloves not only provide protection against mechanical risks but also prevent static discharges from causing damage to vulnerable components. Thanks to the combination of cut protection and antistatic properties, this model is the ideal choice for precision assembly work where safety for both the user and the electronics is required.
For which specific tasks is this ESD work glove most suitable?
This glove is ideally suited for precision work in the electronics industry, such as the assembly of circuit boards, testing of components, and microelectronics.
In these sectors, even a minimal static discharge can cause irreparable damage to sensitive parts. Thanks to its antistatic properties, certified according to the strict IEC 61340-5-1 and EN 16350 standards, the glove safely conducts electrostatic charge away. This makes the model indispensable for cleanrooms and high-tech assembly environments.
What do the EN 388 level B and EN 16350 standards mean for this ESD work glove?
The EN 388:2016 standard with cut resistance level B means that the glove offers light to medium protection against cutting hazards from sharp edges and materials.
The EN 16350:2014 standard indicates that this product meets specific requirements for electrostatic properties, with a volume resistance of less than 1.0 x 10^8 Ohm. This guarantees that the wearer can work safely in potentially explosive or electrostatically sensitive zones without building up static charge.
The seamless 13-gauge liner ensures an excellent fit and high wearing comfort, while the PU palm coating provides optimal ventilation and touchscreen functionality.
