Anti-Static Tools
Static electricity is a Anti-static tools problem that can lead to serious damage. It can erase or corrupt data on magnetic media, cause integrated circuits to burn holes in them leading to expensive repairs and shorten the lifespan of the device. It can even cause fires or explosions in production facilities with flammable materials.
Anti-static tools prevent static build up by preventing the transfer of energy between surfaces. They can be used in many settings but they are especially helpful in a workplace that deals with electrostatic sensitive devices such as microelectronics, aerospace, and automotive. They include items like anti-static gloves, wrist straps, and workbench pads. They can also be sprayed with an anti-static spray which eliminates the static charge that is caused by fabrics, garments and carpets.
Non-sparking tools are specifically designed to prevent sparks from igniting flammable materials in production facilities. They lack ferrous metals (like steel and iron) which can create sparks. They are used in production facilities that handle flammable liquids and gases, paper, and some foods such as powdered milk, eggs, grains and cornstarch.
ESD Safe Hand Tools are used to prevent static charges from damaging electronic components and devices. They are designed to be used in conjunction with a system of grounding equipment to keep static electricity from building to the point where it could damage the equipment or provide enough of a charge to start an electrical discharge. They are made of conductive and dissipative materials such as certain plastics and Xuron’s injection-molded Xuron Rubber grips. They also feature a grounding point for connecting an anti-static wrist strap.
