Anti-Static/ESD - Bodywarmers

2 products

Showing 1 - 2 of 2 products

Antistatic body warmers provide extra warmth around the torso and discharge static electricity, allowing you to stay within your protective clothing system even with an extra layer. This is important in places where a spark caused by static discharge can be dangerous.

The selection in this collection is deliberately small: two Portwest models that are antistatic, flame-resistant and high-visibility all at once. They are intended for work in, for example, the petrochemical industry, at petrol stations or in gas distribution.

Conduction without compromise

This bodywarmer contains conductive fibres that connect with your ESD jacket, so the circuit stays intact even with this extra layer.

Comfortable in cooler spaces

Ideal for work in air-conditioned production areas where an extra warm torso layer is welcome without any loss of conduction.

Frequently asked questions

Does this bodywarmer break the ESD circuit?

No, the bodywarmer itself also contains conductive fibres, so the circuit of your workwear stays intact.

Does the bodywarmer restrict my freedom of movement?

No, since there are no sleeves, your freedom of movement is fully preserved.

May I wear an antistatic bodywarmer over ordinary workwear?

No, that makes little sense and can even give a false sense of safety. The antistatic effect of EN 1149-5 is based on a complete clothing system that discharges the charge to the ground via your body and antistatic shoes. If you wear an ordinary sweater or fleece underneath that builds up charge, the system is interrupted. Therefore always combine it with antistatic underlayers.

May I put the bodywarmer on or take it off in an explosive atmosphere?

No, putting on and taking off is done outside the zone. Opening and removing garments can cause friction that temporarily builds up charge. That is why the instructions for use of antistatic clothing prescribe that you put the clothing on in a safe environment, close it completely and only open or remove it outside the zone. Also always follow the rules of the site.

Why are there only two antistatic bodywarmers?

In practice, antistatic bodywarmers are mainly made in combination with other standards, such as flame resistance and high visibility, and that keeps the range small. If you cannot find what you are looking for here, an antistatic fleece or softshell jacket with sleeves offers an alternative. Take a look at the collection antistatic fleece.
