Product Overview
In technical environments where a single static spark can compromise a project, the ESD 13 Liner Glove serves as a critical barrier between the user and sensitive electronic components. Developed specifically for precision handling, these gloves are crafted from an advanced blend of polyester and carbon fibre to ensure consistent electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
Beyond static control, these grey liner gloves act as a shield for equipment like circuit boards, preventing the transfer of natural skin oils and salts that can lead to long-term corrosion or contamination. It is a subtle but essential component of a professional technical kit.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Integration: The inclusion of carbon fibre allows the glove to effectively dissipate static electricity, protecting sensitive hardware from discharge damage.
- Polyester Base: This lightweight fabric provides a snug, second-skin fit that ensures the wearer retains the tactile sensitivity required for intricate assembly work.
- Oil Barrier: The material construction prevents skin oils from reaching delicate surfaces, maintaining the integrity and cleanliness of high-value components.
- Elasticated Fit: An integrated elastic component ensures the glove remains secure on the hand, preventing slippage during high-precision tasks.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A197 resides in its material science. By weaving carbon fibre into a polyester matrix, the glove achieves a level of conductivity that safely channels static away from the fingertips. This is not a bulky piece of equipment; it is a lightweight, low-linting liner that provides the dexterity needed for handling components that are often no larger than a few millimetres.
The grey colour is a practical choice for technical environments, masking the minor discolouration that can occur during a shift while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Because they are designed as liners, they offer a smooth surface that reduces the risk of snagging on delicate circuitry.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on this particular item because it is a piece of specialised ESD safety equipment. Introducing embroidery threads or heat-applied vinyl transfers could interfere with the glove's antistatic properties. To ensure the carbon fibre blend performs its intended function of dissipating static electricity, the material must remain unaltered and free from external contaminants or non-conductive decorations.
Use Cases
These gloves are indispensable for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and laboratory environments. They are the standard choice for technicians assembling circuit boards, microchips, or any device where electrostatic discharge poses a risk to functionality. They are also frequently used in high-end automotive electronics and telecommunications maintenance.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a fixture in the British workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our specialised facility in Telford, we bring decades of expertise to every product we supply. We understand that in technical industries, the smallest details—like the conductivity of a glove liner—can have the largest impact on your operational success.
Practical Advice
For the best results in ESD-sensitive areas, ensure these gloves are used as part of a complete anti-static system, including grounded wrist straps and conductive flooring. When choosing your size, a snug fit is preferable to a loose one; this ensures you maintain full tactile feedback when picking up small screws or placing components.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of technical gloves is vital to ensure they continue to provide the necessary protection for your equipment. To preserve the carbon fibre's conductivity, it is essential to keep the gloves free from heavy dirt and oils that can build up over time and act as insulators.
When cleaning technical liners, avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents. These chemicals can coat the fibres or degrade the carbon filaments, which would significantly reduce the glove's ability to dissipate static electricity. Proper care ensures that the gloves remain a reliable part of your technical safety protocol for as long as possible.
