ESD gloves are only effective when used as part of a complete static control system.
Incorrect use can result in ESD failures even if the gloves themselves meet standards.
⸻
Step 1: Wear ESD Gloves Correctly
•Ensure gloves fit properly without being too loose or tight
•Avoid folding cuffs, which may interrupt conductivity
•Replace gloves that are torn, worn, or contaminated
Proper fit ensures consistent contact between the glove and the user’s skin.
⸻
Step 2: Connect Gloves to Grounding Systems
ESD gloves must work together with grounding components such as:
•ESD shoes
•Heel grounders
•Conductive flooring or mats
Without a discharge path to ground, gloves alone cannot safely dissipate static charges.
⸻
Step 3: Use Gloves on ESD-Safe Work Surfaces
Always handle components on:
•Grounded ESD mats
•Conductive or dissipative workbenches
Using ESD gloves on ungrounded surfaces significantly reduces protection.
⸻
Step 4: Maintain and Inspect Gloves
•Follow manufacturer washing instructions
•Avoid harsh detergents
•Test gloves periodically for resistance compliance
Regular inspection ensures continued ESD performance over time.
⸻
Common Handling Errors to Avoid
•Wearing ESD gloves without grounding footwear
•Mixing ESD and non-ESD gloves
•Using damaged or heavily worn gloves
Many ESD failures are caused not by missing gloves, but by incorrect usage, poor grounding, or improper maintenance.
