Product Overview
The ESD 13 PU Palm Essential Multipack is a precision-engineered solution for environments where electrostatic discharge represents a significant risk to sensitive components. Constructed with a blend of polyester and integrated carbon fibre, these gloves are designed to safely divert static electricity away from the wearer and the equipment being handled. This specific model is a streamlined, economical alternative to the flagship A199, featuring reduced packaging and simplified branding to provide exceptional value for high-volume users without sacrificing technical performance.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Shell: The integration of carbon fibre into the lightweight polyester shell provides essential anti-static properties, ensuring that static electricity is effectively dissipated during precision tasks.
- Polyurethane (PU) Palm Coating: The durable PU coating provides a secure grip and enhances abrasion resistance, ensuring the gloves remain functional through repetitive handling tasks.
- High Dexterity: The fine-gauge knit allows for maximum tactile sensitivity, which is vital for the intricate assembly and testing of electronic components.
- Economical Multipack: Supplied in packs of twelve, this product is designed to meet the demands of large teams and high-turnover environments while remaining cost-effective.
Design & Performance
The shell of this glove is a fine-gauge, lightweight knit that feels like a second skin, allowing the wearer to perform complex tasks with the same precision as if they were bare-handed. By weaving carbon fibre directly into the polyester, the glove achieves consistent conductivity across the entire surface. The PU coating on the palm is specifically chosen for its balance of durability and flexibility; it protects the hand and the product from oils and skin contact while maintaining the breathability of the back of the hand. This ensures comfort during long shifts in controlled environments.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on these ESD gloves to protect their technical integrity. Introducing embroidery or heat-applied logos would require the use of non-conductive threads or adhesives, which could potentially create 'dead zones' in the anti-static protection. Furthermore, any additional material on such a lightweight glove would compromise the fine dexterity required for the precision work they are designed to perform.
Use Cases
These gloves are specifically designed for professionals working in electronics assembly, telecommunications, and high-tech manufacturing. They are equally suited for laboratory testing environments and cleanrooms where the prevention of static and the protection of delicate circuitry are paramount. If your daily work involves handling PCBs or sensitive microchips, these are the correct choice for your hand protection.
Why MyWorkwear
Established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience in providing technical apparel to British industry. Operating from our base in Telford, we understand that professional workwear is not just about appearance—it is about performance, safety, and reliability. We source products that meet the rigorous demands of modern workspaces, ensuring our customers receive the right tools for the job.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit. Any excess material at the fingertips will significantly reduce the tactile feedback required for precision assembly. It is also advisable to ensure that the gloves are used in conjunction with a full ESD-compliant system, including appropriate footwear and wrist straps, to ensure a continuous path to ground.
Caring for your product
To maintain the anti-static properties of the carbon fibre and the integrity of the PU coating, it is important to keep these gloves clean and free from contaminants. Accumulated dust or oils can act as insulators, which may impede the glove's ability to dissipate static electricity effectively.
We recommend replacing the gloves if the palm coating begins to peel or if the knit becomes frayed. Regular inspection is necessary, as any damage to the carbon fibre weave could result in a loss of ESD protection, potentially leading to the failure of the sensitive components you are handling.
