Smock, Statshield, Jacket with Snaps, Static Control, 3 Pockets, Polyester, White, 3X-Large
The Desco Statshield® smocks are designed to be antistatic, low tribocharging, and create a Faraday Cage around the torso and arms of the wearer to protect ESD susceptible items from electrostatic fields generated by clothing on the operator’s clothing. Static control garments are intended to attenuate electrostatic fields that may be present on personnel clothing. Statshield® Smocks meet the requirement for Groundable Static Control Garment System per ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit of < 3.5 x 10⁷ ohm Rtg tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 and ESD TR53 (23° ± 1° C, 12% ± 3% RH, and 50% ± 5% RH).
Statshield smocks are constructed of a lightweight dissipative material made from texturized polyester and a minimum of 9% carbon nylon monofilament. The conductive nylon fibers are woven in a chain-link design throughout the material, providing continuous and consistent charge dissipation. All of the seams in Statshield® smocks are designed to maintain electrical continuity from panel to panel and from sleeve to sleeve in accordance with the ESD Association Garment Standard, ESD-STM2.1.
Statshield smocks incorporate a “hip-to-cuff” grounding feature which allows for hands-free grounding with no cord attached to the operator’s wrist. This feature allows the connection of a ground cord to a 4mm snap stud on the hip. A seam of carbon-suffused threads provides a secure and direct electrical connection from the snap stud on the hip to conductive elastic cuffs. Statshield® smocks ground the person when used in this manner. Standard touch testing or continuous monitoring can be used to test the “hip-to-cuff” function.
