Conductive Fibers such as carbon and stainless steel are woven into the material in a grid pattern. Charge Dissipation create a "pathway" for static charges to safely dissipate away from the wearer's body and ultimately to a grounded surface. Garments are designed to meet specific surface resistivity ranges for effective static control.
Electronics Manufacturing & Assembly: Semiconductors, PCBs, hard drives, medical devices, aerospace electronics. Crucial for preventing ESD damage to sensitive components during production, assembly, and testing.
Cleanrooms: Pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, optics, medical device manufacturing. Beyond preventing contamination, anti-static properties reduce particle attraction and ensure product integrity.
Chemical & Petrochemical Industries: Refineries, paint booths, solvent handling. To prevent static sparks that could ignite flammable vapors or liquids."
Automotive Electronics: Manufacturing of electronic control units, sensors. Protecting integrated circuits from damage during assembly processes.
Healthcare Facilities: Operating rooms, certain labs with sensitive equipment. While less common for full uniform, specific anti-static components may be required.
Data Centers/IT Environments: Server rooms, maintenance areas. For personnel handling delicate servers and network equipment.
Aerospace & Defense: Manufacturing of sensitive navigation systems, avionics. Ensuring reliability and performance of critical electronic systems.
