Description
Desco’s ESD inspection gloves are designed to be worn when
handling ESD susceptible items. They are made with dissipative
(10E5-10E8 ohms) Thunderon Fibers to reduce charge generation and can be
bonded to grounded when the operator is grounded correctly. Additional silicone
free carrier yarn is made with Kevlar Kleen which helps to protect operator’s
hands from cuts on circuit board edges, leads, and other sharp objects. The
carrier yarn will also absorb sweat and oils produced by the operator’s hands
to help prevent contamination. The seamless fine gauge knit is designed for
all-day wear allowing easy hand movement and a high level of tactile sensitivity.
Desco’s ESD inspection gloves may be laundered and will retain their ESD
properties for 30 washings or approximately 1 year.

Glove Laundering
For proper operation, the ESD Gloves must be laundered periodically. Woolite works
well. Liquid detergents are better than dry in that there is less caking and frictional
wear. Launder glove in cool or warm water, tumble dry with low heat or hang dry.
Machine washing works well if using a standard house machine on gentle cycle. It is not
recommended to launder these gloves in heavy industrial laundry machines as it will lead
to premature wear. Gloves should be tumbled dry using low heat. DO NOT BLEACH. After
laundering, verify RTT 10E5-10E8 ohms.
A properly grounded operator can touch a charged
ESD sensitive device and a damaging ESD event
can occur (Charged Device Model). Increasing the
electrical path’s contact resistance is one way to
control the speed of the discharge and reduce the
possibilities of damage. A good way to accomplish
this is by wearing static dissipative gloves.
Per JESD625-A (Revision of EIA-625) paragraph 11.5
Gloves / Finger Cots
“When gloves or finger cots are required, only cotton
gloves, antistatic/conductive gloves, or antistatic/
conductive finger cots should be used when handling
ESDS [ESD sensitive] devices.”
Note: The user must determine the suitability for use of an ESD glove for his particular
application. The ESD Association recommends that personnel grounding items should
not be used in situations where inadvertent exposure to line voltage is possible. The
user should check with local safety personnel to determine requirements for their
particular area.
Operators to be grounded via a wrist strap or ESD flooring-footwear system can test
their personnel grounding device while the glove is worn using a regular wrist strap /
footwear tester.
