What is ESD clothing?

ESD clothing is designed to protect sensitive environments from electrostatic discharge by dissipating static electricity.

Why is ESD clothing important in cleanrooms?

ESD clothing is crucial in cleanrooms to prevent static-related damage to sensitive electronic components and maintain a controlled environment.

What materials are used in ESD clothing?

ESD clothing is typically made from conductive fibers or materials that can safely dissipate static electricity.

How does ESD clothing work?

ESD clothing works by incorporating conductive materials that allow static electricity to flow through the fabric, reducing the risk of discharge.

Can ESD clothing be washed?

Yes, ESD clothing can be washed, but it's important to follow specific care instructions to maintain its conductive properties.

Where can I buy ESD cleanroom clothing?

ESD cleanroom clothing can be purchased from specialized suppliers and online stores that focus on protective workplace apparel.

Are all cleanroom clothing items ESD safe?

Not all cleanroom clothing is ESD safe. It's important to verify that the clothing is specifically designed for electrostatic discharge protection.

Clothing

Cleanroom overalls from the HABETEX climatic Pro and HABETEX Micronplus programmes by HB Schutzbekleidung combine low particle emission with controlled static charge dissipation. The Micronplus fabric uses a classic antistatic knit structure; the climatic Pro adds moisture-wicking properties for extended wear periods. Both series are available in sizes 42/44 through 62/64 and in several colours: light blue, grey, anthracite/silver-grey, white, and bugatti blue.

✦ Low particle emission - fabric tested to cleanroom requirements, suitable for ISO classes 5-8

⚡ Antistatic performance - conductive fibres prevent triboelectric charge build-up during wear

↕ Size range 42/44-62/64 - broad coverage for mens, ladies, and unisex cuts

✓ HABETEX climatic Pro - moisture-permeable fabric, reduces heat build-up during long shifts

⚙ HABETEX Micronplus - classic antistatic knit, robust and suited to frequent wash cycles

The choice between climatic Pro and Micronplus depends on thermal conditions at the workstation. For long shifts or higher physical activity, the climatic Pro offers advantages through its moisture-permeable structure. The Micronplus is the more robust option for frequent cleaning and wash cycles. Colour selection and sizing should be aligned with the site hygiene concept, since colour coding is widely used in cleanrooms for zone or role separation.

Typical applications: Semiconductor and wafer fabrication, optical component assembly, pharmaceutical and medical device production, SMT electronics manufacturing with elevated cleanroom requirements, and laboratory areas where particle-free conditions and ESD protection are required simultaneously.
