Product description

ESD garment
© Bekaert

Bekaert Bekinox® stainless steel fibres and yarns are used to safely discharge static electricity which can lead to explosions or damage electronic equipment.
If you rely on anti-static textiles made from Bekaert Bekinox® fibres, filaments and yarns, you prevent the build-up of static electricity and electrostatic discharges.

1.a     Risk management in flammable and explosive atmospheres

In the petrochemical and gas industry, workers are often exposed to explosive and flammable atmospheres. Due to their excellent conductivity, our fibres and yarns take away the ignition source by preventing build up of static electricity.
Personal protective clothing made with Bekaert Bekinox® yarns easily fulfill the international safety norms and are the preferred solution in the market due to their outstanding wash resistance.
A new range of cotton Bekinox® yarns have been developed for both summer and winter protective clothing.

1.b     ESD-protective area (EPA)

ESD garments made with Bekaert Bekinox® yarns fulfill the international standards valid in the manufacturing and assembling process of the electronic industry. They make sure that static charge, generated by body movement and fabric friction, is led safely away to earth and does not destroy sensitive micro-electronic products or cause unseen latent damage which can get to the consumer and ultimately damage your product reliability and reputation. Fabrics with Bekaert Bekinox® fibres easily resist 50 industrial washings.
