ESD gloves
Protection against electrostatic discharge
ESD gloves are of central importance in the production and processing of electronic components and small processors. "Ejendals has had nine new ESD glove models on the market since fall 2021 so that we can use the right glove for every ESD work area," says Veronika Seliger, Technical Training & Support Manager at Ejendals. Antistatic ESD gloves must be as thin as possible for good dexterity, have a good grip, be flexible and, of course, be comfortable to wear. "These attributes apply to all of our new nine models," emphasizes the PPE expert. "The ergonomic structure is adapted to the hand and thus supports the natural way it works. To this end, the gloves are ergonomically knitted, which makes them particularly adaptable. Of course, touchscreen capability is also relevant." With its extensive range, Ejendals offers customers complete freedom: the glove can be tailored precisely to the employee, workplace and component - for all ESD work areas.
The new Tegera 806 model is an ultra-thin, uncoated ESD glove that uses CRF technology fibers. It cools, does not rub or itch and is very light.
Ejendals has developed the Tegera 877 as the thinnest glove with a PU coating and very good grip. The integrated carbon fiber provides the ESD properties. This glove also has PU-coated palms, while the new Tegera 801 has PU-coated fingertips that are ideal for inserting circuit boards. Another new model is the Tegera 801, which, with its dipped fingertips and good feel, is suitable for soldering electrical parts or inserting circuit boards.
The coatings of ESD gloves are made of PU or nitrile and are used depending on the activity. PU is marginally thinner-walled than nitrile, gives plenty of freedom of movement and is particularly suitable when a very good grip is required. Nitrile, on the other hand, is the more elegant solution from an ecological point of view. This coating or glove is very durable, has good heat resistance and cut resistance. Thick wool socks, which have an insulating effect, and dry hands or feet can impair ESD protection. "We therefore have appropriate ESD socks in our range. We also offer gloves that are Ökotex or Dermatex certified and therefore protect sensitive skin. As we focus on holistic protection, around 97% of our shoes are also ESD-certified," says Seliger.
