Desco Statshield® Smocks with Convertible Sleeves and Snaps Cuffs. Installation Description Follow the directions below for proper installation and grounding of the Statshield® smock. Desco Statshield® Smocks with Convertible Sleeves are designed to be antistatic, low tribocharging, and create a Faraday Cage around the torso and arms of the wearer to protect ESD susceptible items from electrostatic fields generated by clothing on the operator’s clothing. Static control garments are intended to attenuate electrostatic fields that may be present on personnel clothing. Statshield® Smocks meet the requirement for Groundable Static Control Garment System per ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit of < 3.5 x 107 ohm Rtg tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 and ESD TR53 (23° ± 1° C, 12% ± 3% RH, and 50% ± 5% RH). Yes 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 throughout the material, providing continuous and consistent charge dissipation. All of the seams in Statshield® smocks are designed to maintain electrical continuity from panel to panel and from sleeve to sleeve in accordance with the ESD Association Garment Standard, ESD-STM2.1. Standard Colors Available: Blue Black Grey *Fabric lots vary slightly in color. Yes No Figure 2. Proper Installation of Smock wearer’s body 1. Put on the smock and fasten all of the snaps on the front of the smock, making sure that clothing is not exposed outside of the smock. 2. Operators may roll up sleeves, so long as all clothing remains covered. Operators wearing long sleeved shirts must leave the sleeves down. Operators must be grounded with foot grounders or wrist straps when wearing a smock and handling any ESD susceptible items. 3. Throughout use, it is essential that material be in contact with operator’s skin.

Panel-to-panel conductivity is can be tested using the Surface Resistance Meter Kit. For additional information, refer to ANSI/ESD S20.20, ESD TR20.20, ESD TR53 and the Garment Standard, ANSI/ESD STM2.1. Specifications Fabric Weight* 2.2 oz per square yard Fabric Content Texturized polyester and a minimum of 9% carbon Carbon Mono-filament Conductive at 1 x 104 ohms, nonflaking and non-sloughing. Surface Resistance 1 x 105 to < 1 x 107 ohms, per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 and ESD TR53 of Fabrics Glass Transition Temperature 250°F Flash Point 1040°F Country of Origin United States of America Heat Sealed Patches Patches may be heat-sealed to the smocks. The patch should be small and the smock should be tested before and after application. Maintenance Desco recommends Woolite. Liquid detergents are better than dry because there is less caking and frictional wear. Use only non-ionic softeners and detergents when laundering. Launder Statshield® smocks in cool or warm water, tumble dry with low heat or hang dry. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENER. *Fabric lots vary slightly in color and weight. Limited Warranty, Warranty Exclusions, Limit of Liability and RMA Request Instructions See Desco Terms and Conditions Use a standard household machine on gentle cycle or industrial machine “Pony” (typically under 200 pound loads) machine. It is not recommended to launder these Statshield® smocks in heavy industrial laundry machines because it will lead to premature wear; degrading the ESD properties. Statshield® smocks should be tumbled dry using low heat. The carbon-suffused mono-filament nylon is sensitive to heat and should not be exposed to laundering heat in excess of 120°F. Under normal wearing and recommended maintenance conditions, Desco Statshield® ESD protective smocks will maintain their usefulness and effectiveness for a minimum of 100 washings.
