TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-2055 Statshield Smocks Made in the Grounding, Testing and Maintenance United States of America throughout the material, providing continuous and consistent charge dissipation. All of the seams in Statshield smocks NO WRISTBAND are designed to maintain electrical continuity from panel to NECESSARY panel and from sleeve to sleeve in accordance with the ESD Association Garment Standard, ESD-STM2.1. After verifying that the garment has electrical conductivity through all panels, the garment should be electrically bonded to the grounding system of the wearer so as not to COIL CORD (NOT INCLUDED) act as a floating conductor. ESD TR20.20-2008 section TO GROUND 5.3.13 Garments The conductive fabric in smock is a conductor. If not grounded, the smock can become an isolated charged conductor. If not grounded via a wrist strap coil cord, ground the ESD garment using ESD footwear to ESD flooring. The dissipative material becomes part of the ground path Figure 1. Desco Statshield Premium Lab Coat with to remove static charges. Statshield smocks are available Conductive Cuffs. Also available in Jacket length. in two lengths -- the lab coat length and the jacket length. Both lengths are available in two styles - with snaps and with conductive elastic cuffs. Smocks are available in eight Description colors* -- blue, white, teal, black, pink, grey and orange. Desco Statshield smocks are designed to be antistatic, low tribocharging, and create a Faraday Cage around the Statshield smocks incorporate a hip-to-cuff grounding torso and arms of the wearer to protect ESD susceptible feature which allows for hands-free grounding with no items from electrostatic fields generated by clothing on the cord attached to the operators wrist. This feature allows operators clothing. Static control garments are intended connection of a ground cord to a 4mm snap stud on the hip. to attenuate electrostatic fields that may be present A seam of carbon-suffused threads provides a secure and on personnel clothing. Statshield Smocks meet the direct electrical connection from the snap stud on the hip requirement for Groundable Static Control Garment System to conductive elastic cuffs. Statshield smocks ground the 7 per ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit of < 3.5 x 10 ohm Rtg person when used in this manner. Standard touch testing or tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 and ESD TR53 (23 1 C, continuous monitoring can be used to test the hip-to-cuff 12% 3% RH, and 50% 5% RH). function. While a person may be grounded using a wrist strap or *Fabric lots vary slightly in color. other grounding methods, that does not mean that insulative clothing fabrics can dissipate a charge to that persons skin and then to ground. Personnel clothing usually is electrically separate or isolated from the body. Groundable Static Control Garment System, Garments that are used to establish the primary ground path for a person shall provide a resistance of less than 35 megohms from the person to the groundable point of the garment. ESD TR20.20-2008 section 5.3.13 Garments Statshield smocks are constructed of a lightweight dissipative material which made from texturized polyester and a minimum of 9% carbon nylon monofilament. The conductive nylon fibers are woven in a chain-link design DESCO WEST - 3651 Walnut Avenue, Chino, CA 91710 (909) 627-8178 DESCO EAST - One Colgate Way, Canton, MA 02021-1407 (781) 821-8370 Web Site: Desco.com 2020 DESCO INDUSTRIES INC TB-2055 January 2020 Page 1 of 4 Employee Owned Statshield smocks are available in the following styles and sizes: LAB COATS WITH CUFFS Blue White Teal Chest Sleeve Length X Small 73610 73630 73650 30 -32 33 3/4 39 Small 73611 73631 73651 34 -36 34 39 Medium 73612 73632 73652 38 -40 34 3/8 40 Large 73613 73633 73653 42 -44 35 41 X Large 73614 73634 73654 46 -48 35 1/2 41 2X Large 73615 73635 73655 50 -52 35 1/2 41 3X Large 73616 73636 73656 54 -56 37 1/2 42 4X Large 73617 73637 73657 58 -60 36 1/2 43 43 5X Large 73618 73638 73658 62 -64 36 43 43 6X Large 73619 73639 73659 66 -68 36 43 JACKETS WITH CUFFS Blue White Teal Black Pink Grey Orange Chest Sleeve Length X Small 73749 73830 73850 73860 74200 73775 73910 30 -32 33 3/4 30 Small 73750 73831 73851 73861 74201 73776 73911 34 -36 34 30 1/2 Medium 73755 73832 73852 73862 74202 73777 73912 38 -40 34 3/8 31 Large 73760 73833 73853 73863 74203 73778 73913 42 -44 35 31 X Large 73765 73834 73854 73864 74204 73779 73914 46 -48 35 1/2 32 2X Large 73770 73835 73855 73865 74205 73780 73915 50 -52 35 1/2 32 1/2 3X Large 73771 73836 73856 73866 74206 73781 73916 54 -56 37 1/2 33 4X Large 73772 73837 73857 73867 74207 73782 73917 58 -60 36 1/2 34 5X Large 73773 73838 73858 73868 74208 73783 73918 62 -64 36 34 6X Large 73774 73839 73859 73869 74209 73784 73919 66 -68 36 35 Note: Blue, Black, Grey, Pink and Orange Jackets with Cuffs contain Two Sleeve Pen Pockets.
