With the popularization of computers and electronic products, more and more manufacturers have begun to take anti-static measures. Anti-static ESD clothing is one of the most important initiatives. This is because the human body is the largest source of electrostatic charge in the production floor. The perceived amount of static electricity can vary depending on factors such as height and foot size, for example, a taller person with larger feet needs to accumulate more charge to produce the same amount of electricity. In addition, the fabric, sole material and weather conditions of clothing can also affect static electricity, such as dry climate.
Static electricity of around 2-4 thousand volts is harmless to most people. Electronic components, however, can be damaged by just a few volts of static electricity. It is estimated that between 8% and 33% of product damage is due to static electricity. Anti-static ESD clothing prevents damage to electronic components and prevents fire or explosion when handling flammable gases and liquids. Once the static electricity is not controlled, it may cause a series of losses, especially in the semiconductor and electronic products industry, human static electricity is the biggest threat, a bending action, the static electricity generated is enough to penetrate the chip, causing product damage, equipment failure, loss of man-hours and product repair. The harm of static electricity has a certain concealment, many times static electricity damages the product, but does not completely damage the product, so it can not be determined whether there is a problem during the factory inspection, but the product quality problem appears in the process of user use, which is the reason why the quality of many domestic electronic products is unstable and the service life is not long. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of static electricity, and it is necessary for workers in these industries to wear anti-static ESD clothing.
