Transforming Technologies is proud to announce the addition of the 5049 Series ESD Jackets and Lab Coats to our line of ESD Products.

The 5049 Series Garments are constructed with an anti static polyester and cotton fabric blend, making the jackets effective as an ESD control device and extremely comfortable to wear. Superior workmanship provides reliable panel-to-panel continuity of the garment. The 5049 Series Garment maintains consistent continuity readings for up to 100 wash cycles.

The 5049 Series is available in a waist length jacket or a full length lab coat.  The standard sleeve termination is a three snap adjustable fit cuff (ESD knit cuff with snap-to-ground feature is also available).

Features

• Extremely comfortable blend of polyester and cotton fabric
• Waist length jacket or full length lab coat
• Reliable panel to panel continuity

The Four Rules Of ESD Control

Follow these simple rules of ESD control and you will never be shocked (yes, we went there) by static damage.

1^st Rule of ESD:  Ground everything you can.

If you can attached a ground cord to it, do it.  Grounding conductive materials sends any charge buildup to ground where it is neutralized.

2^nd Rule of ESD:  Avoid Insulators whenever you possibly can!

Insulators cannot be grounded and a potentially dangerous charge can build up fast.  Remove everything you can made out of insulating materials, like plastics and Styrofoam.

3^rd Rule of ESD: Use Dissipative materials whenever possible and ground them.

Get yourself a dissipative ESD Mat!  Dissipative materials allow a charge to flow slowly and controlled to ground.  Anything more conductive or more insulative is a problem.

4^th Rule of ESD: Use an ionizer on any insulators and ungrounded conductors that can’t be remove.

Ionizers blow air full of positively and negatively charged ions that neutralize static on contact.  They are the only way to control static on insulative materials.
