Antistatic clothing and accessories FAQ 1
Q: How often should antistatic clothing be tested?
A: We recommend testing antistatic garments every six months with a surface resistance meter. Regular testing ensures the clothing maintains proper conductivity and protection levels. Clothing showing resistance outside the 10^6-10^9 ohm range should be immediately replaced to maintain ESD safety standards.

Antistatic Clothing Care Instructions
| Care Step | Recommendation | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Washing | Machine wash at 40°C maximum | After each shift |
| Drying | Tumble dry low or air dry | As needed |
| Ironing | Low heat, no steam | When required |
Antistatic clothing and accessories FAQ 2
Q: Can regular clothing be treated to become antistatic?
A: While some temporary anti-static sprays exist, they don't provide reliable, long-term protection. Professionally manufactured Antistatic clothing and accessories contain permanently embedded conductive fibers that maintain consistent performance through multiple washes. We strongly advise against DIY treatments for mission-critical ESD protection.
Industry Applications

Antistatic clothing and accessories FAQ 3
Q: What's the difference between conductive and antistatic materials?
A: Conductive materials (surface resistance below 10^5 ohms) allow rapid charge transfer, while antistatic materials (10^6-10^9 ohms) provide controlled dissipation. Our Antistatic clothing and accessories are engineered to safely dissipate charges without creating electrical hazards. The specific resistance range is carefully selected to protect both workers and sensitive components.
Product Compliance Information
| Standard | Coverage | Test Method |
