Anti-static/ESD - Sweater

No, a regular sweater can break the conductive circuit; choose a sweater that is itself antistatic.

Yes, the sweater is ideal for work in cooler, air-conditioned production areas without any loss of conduction.

Most of the sweaters in this collection are made of Portwest Modaflame and are flame-resistant as well as antistatic. A number of them also have high visibility, sometimes in class 1. In addition, there are two standard antistatic sweatshirts without flame-resistant properties, intended for ESD environments without fire risk. The product page states the exact standards.

Wash the sweater according to the care label and do not use fabric softener, as it leaves a layer on the fibres that can reduce conductivity. For flame-resistant sweaters, it is important not to use bleach. Preferably air dry the sweater and replace it if it is visibly worn or damaged.

Yes, this collection includes a flame-resistant Modaflame sweatshirt designed for a women's fit. This often fits more comfortably and safely than a men's model in a smaller size, because the sleeves and length fit better and there is less loose fabric that can snag. Always check the size chart for the right size, as women's and men's sizes differ.
