Product Overview
The ESD 13 PU Palm Glove is a specialist piece of hand protection engineered for technical environments where static electricity is a primary concern. Constructed from a fine-knit polyester shell infused with carbon fibre, these gloves are designed to safely divert electrostatic discharge away from sensitive components. The addition of a polyurethane palm coating ensures that the wearer does not have to sacrifice grip or durability for safety, making them a standard choice for precision electronics work.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Infusion: The shell is woven with carbon fibre to provide reliable electrostatic dissipation, protecting delicate electronic equipment from static-related damage.
- Polyurethane Palm Coating: This durable layer provides excellent abrasion resistance and a secure grip while maintaining the high level of dexterity needed for intricate tasks.
- Fine-Gauge Lightweight Knit: The construction offers a breathable, close fit that feels like a second skin, allowing for maximum tactile sensitivity during assembly or testing.
- Elasticated Wrist: Ensures a secure and comfortable fit, preventing debris from entering the glove and maintaining the glove's position during repetitive movements.
Design & Performance
The performance of these gloves hinges on their lightweight, high-gauge construction. The polyester and carbon fibre blend creates a flexible and resilient shell that adapts to the natural movement of the hand. Unlike heavier industrial gloves, these are designed for precision. The PU coating is applied specifically to the palm and fingertips, which provides protection where it is most needed while leaving the back of the hand free to breathe. This design prevents the build-up of heat and moisture, which is often the downfall of lesser work gloves during long shifts in a laboratory or assembly line.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on these ESD gloves to ensure their functional integrity remains uncompromised. Adding embroidery would involve puncturing the protective shell, while screen printing could introduce non-conductive materials or contaminants that interfere with the glove's ability to dissipate static electricity. To maintain the safety standards required for electronics assembly, these gloves must be used in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These gloves are specifically intended for professionals in the electronics industry. They are ideal for micro-assembly, circuit board testing, and the handling of sensitive hardware. Whether you are working in a clean-room environment or a high-tech manufacturing plant, these gloves provide the necessary protection for both the user and the product.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, aim for a snug fit. Any excess material at the fingertips will significantly hinder your ability to handle small components. Because these are precision tools for your hands, they should be replaced if the PU coating begins to thin or if the knit becomes snagged, as this can affect both grip and ESD performance.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your ESD gloves is vital for preserving their conductive properties. Dirt and oils can act as insulators, which may impede the carbon fibre's ability to dissipate static effectively.
We recommend a light wash to remove surface contaminants. Avoid using strong chemical detergents or bleach, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and the PU coating, leading to premature wear and a loss of flexibility. High-temperature washing should also be avoided to prevent the polyester from shrinking, which would ruin the precision fit.
Always allow the gloves to air dry naturally. Tumble drying can be far too aggressive for the fine-gauge knit and may cause the polyurethane coating to crack or peel, rendering the gloves unsuitable for delicate assembly work.
