Conductive cotton gloves minimise chance of static shock

By • on August 9, 2011

The Achilles Corporation have added to their popular range of work gloves with a conductive cotton glove that could have many applications within the packaging industry.

Available in four sizes from small to extra large, the gloves have a conductive yarn woven through the cotton in order to prevent the risk of electric shocks due to static when working with materials such as plastic sheeting and polyurethane foam. Just as comfortable to wear as standard cotton gloves, these conductive gloves give workers an added level of protection.

They have an electrical resistance rating of 1×106 Ohms, and have a low dust emission design that corresponds to Clean Room Class 1000. Breathable and with an elastic cuff, the gloves can be worn for long periods without any discomfort.

Static can ruin delicate electrical systems when being handled, and these gloves will help to minimise the risk of static discharge during packaging.

The Achilles Corporation are specialists in anti-static materials, and have production sites in China, Taiwan, Thailand and the USA. With their headquarters in Tokyo, they are a truly international company with a worldwide reputation for quality and value for money. In addition to conductive gloves, they also manufacture EMI shield materials and heat-conductive sheets.
