ESD Shoes (Electrostatic Discharge Shoes)
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) shoes are specialized footwear designed to prevent electrostatic discharge in electronics manufacturing and other sensitive production environments. These shoes safely channel static electricity built up on the body to the ground, preventing damage to sensitive electronic components.
Key Features:
Antistatic Material: The sole and sometimes the upper part of the shoe are made from conductive or dissipative materials that disperse electrical charges.
Low Electrical Resistance: ESD shoes are engineered to have a specific range of electrical resistance. This resistance allows static electricity to flow in a controlled manner, while also ensuring the wearer’s safety against electrical shock.
Comfort & Durability: They are manufactured from comfortable and durable materials, considering long working hours.
Slip-Resistant Soles: They often feature slip-resistant soles to enhance safety in the work environment.
Areas of Use:
Electronics Manufacturing Facilities: Areas where integrated circuits, circuit boards, and other sensitive electronic components are produced or assembled.
Computer & Hardware Repair Centers: Places where repairs and maintenance are performed, and static electricity can damage devices.
Laboratories: Research and development labs using sensitive measuring devices and electronic equipment.
Telecommunications Industry: Production and maintenance of telecommunications equipment.
Explosive Environments (in some cases): Environments with flammable materials or gases to reduce the risk of sparks.
