Description
Anti-static carbon fiber gloves are specialized work gloves designed for environments where Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a major concern. They are not typically made entirely of carbon fiber; instead, they feature conductive carbon fiber threads woven into the fingertips and palm area of a base material (like nylon, polyester, or high-performance polyethylene).
Key Features and Benefits
-
ESD Protection: Their primary function is to prevent damage to ESD-sensitive components.
-
Superior Grip: The textured pattern created by the carbon fiber weave provides an excellent grip for handling small screws, components, and tools without slipping.
-
Dexterity and Touch Sensitivity: They are designed to be thin and form-fitting, offering a “second skin” feel that allows for precision work without needing to remove the gloves.
-
Abrasion Resistance: Carbon fibers are incredibly strong, significantly enhancing the durability and wear-life of the glove’s high-contact areas.
-
Breathability: The knit construction of the base materials allows for air circulation, reducing hand fatigue and sweat during long shifts.
-
Hybrid Protection: Many models offer additional protection, such as cut resistance (from the high-tech base fibers) and light liquid splash protection.
