What are ESD gloves – The role of anti-static gloves in accidents

ESD stands for electrostatic discharge. Under certain circumstances, when two materials with different charges come into close proximity, a transfer of potential occurs.

This common phenomenon is called electrostatic discharge (ESD), and its magnitude ranges from barely measurable electron movement to hundreds of millions of volts.

Antistatic or electrostatic discharge (ESD) gloves protect workers and their surroundings because they are designed for particle-sensitive, low-contamination environments such as laboratories, clean rooms, biotech industries, and electronics work.

Antistatic gloves are usually made of a blend of conductive fibers and regular fibers, which can effectively conduct static electricity. Some high-efficiency antistatic gloves use carbon fiber or copper fiber, which have excellent conductivity. Some antistatic gloves have coatings (such as polyurethane coatings) on the palm or fingertips to increase anti-slip properties and wear resistance without affecting conductivity.

Good antistatic effect: effectively eliminates static electricity accumulation and protects sensitive electronic components.

Why choose anti-static gloves？

Protect sensitive electronic components:

Prevent electrostatic damage: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may damage or destroy sensitive electronic components such as integrated circuits, semiconductors, and microprocessors. Anti-static gloves can effectively prevent the accumulation and release of static electricity and protect these components from damage.

Ensure product quality: During the electronics manufacturing process, electrostatic discharge can cause product quality issues or failures. Anti-static gloves help maintain a low-static environment and ensure stable quality of electronic products produced.

Improve job security:

Reduce accidents caused by static electricity: In some working environments, such as when handling flammable and explosive substances, static electricity may cause sparks, leading to fire or explosion. Anti-static gloves can reduce the build-up of static electricity and reduce the risk of accidents.

Increase work efficiency:

Reduce rework and scrap: Damage caused by static electricity is often irreversible, resulting in product scrap or the need for rework. Anti-static gloves can significantly reduce the occurrence of this situation and reduce unnecessary losses.

Adapt to special working environment:

Clean room environment: In a clean room, anti-static gloves not only prevent the accumulation of static electricity, but also prevent particulate matter contamination and maintain a high standard environment in the clean room.

Laboratories and research institutions: Provides additional protection when handling precision instruments and equipment, ensuring the accuracy of experimental data and the integrity of the equipment.
