FR0426 ESD Foam Slipper

Cleanroom ESD Anti-Static Slippers are specially designed footwear for use in cleanrooms and ESD-sensitive environments, where maintaining both cleanliness and static protection is essential. These slippers are lightweight, comfortable, and constructed with materials that effectively dissipate electrostatic charges, making them ideal for prolonged wear in controlled environments.

Key Features:

1. ESD Protection:

• Made from static-dissipative materials that safely neutralize static charges, protecting sensitive electronics and devices from electrostatic discharge.
• Typically meets ESD standards such as ANSI/ESD STM97.1 and EN 61340-5-1, ensuring reliable performance.

2. Cleanroom Compatibility:

• Designed with low particle-shedding materials to minimize contamination risks, meeting the requirements of cleanrooms ranging from Class 100 to Class 10,000.
• Smooth and non-porous surfaces allow for easy cleaning and sterilization.

3. Durable and Lightweight Design:

• Upper: Often made from antistatic PU leather, synthetic fabric, or breathable mesh for comfort and durability.
• Sole: Typically constructed from PU, PVC, or rubber, offering excellent ESD properties and slip resistance.
• Lightweight materials reduce fatigue for workers who stand or move for extended periods.

4. Comfort-Focused:

• Ergonomic design with cushioned insoles ensures comfort during long shifts.
• Breathable upper materials help prevent overheating and moisture buildup.

5. Open-Toe or Closed-Toe Designs:

• Open-Toe Slippers: Provide better airflow, ideal for environments with less stringent cleanroom requirements or for summer use.
• Closed-Toe Slippers: Offer enhanced protection against dust and particles, suitable for stricter cleanroom environments.

6. Non-Marking Sole:

• The sole is designed to leave no marks on cleanroom floors, preserving the cleanliness of the environment.

7. Adjustable Fit:

• Often features elastic bands, Velcro straps, or slip-on designs for a snug and secure fit.

Applications:

• Electronics Manufacturing: Prevents ESD damage to sensitive devices during assembly or inspection.
• Cleanrooms: Ensures both static control and minimal particulate contamination.
• Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology: Ideal for hygienic and controlled environments.
• Laboratories: Protects ESD-sensitive equipment while maintaining comfort for lab personnel.
• Semiconductor Industry: Ensures static protection during delicate wafer and chip handling.

Benefits:

1. ESD Protection: Prevents damage to sensitive electronics and equipment.
2. Cleanroom-Safe: Meets contamination control standards while supporting static protection.
3. Comfortable: Lightweight and breathable for prolonged use.
4. Durable and Easy to Clean: Long-lasting materials ensure consistent performance and are easy to maintain.
5. Versatile Designs: Available in open-toe and closed-toe options for varying requirements.

Care and Maintenance:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wipe with cleanroom-approved cleaners after each use to remove contaminants and maintain hygiene.
2. Testing:
   • Periodically test the slippers with an ESD footwear tester to ensure continued performance.
3. Storage:
   • Store in a clean, dry area to avoid contamination and maintain material integrity.
4. Replacement:
   • Replace slippers when the sole shows wear or the ESD performance diminishes.
