Electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been around for centuries. We all know that familiar shock when touching a metal doorknob or walking across a carpet;the little spark when touching woollen clothing in winter. That doesn't seem so serious in daily life but in industry, ESD can pose a real problem.

ESD can negatively impact production, ruin quality of product and increase costs.

What damage can ESD cause?

Personnel working in EPAs (ESD Protected Areas) can generate and conduct static electricity, causing minor electrostatic shocks. However, ESD can cause more severe problems in the manufacturing process, compromising the products being manufactured or tested.

In an increasingly technological age, where sophisticated electronic components are part and parcel of practically every product and process, ESD can damage the components. With electronic devices becoming faster and circuitry getting smaller, their sensitivity to ESD increases.

The time and cost of repairs or replacements can be huge; the damage to the company’s reputation can be incalculable.

Hence EPAs follow strict compliances pertaining to personnel and infrastructure. One imperative feature of an EPA is the ESD chair.

What is an ESD chair?

ESD stands for Electrostatic Dissipative. ESD or static control chairs are chairs made of non-conductive material to reduce static charge and discharge it safelythrough the ground. From the static-free fabric and casters, to the seat, backrest, armrest, base and other components - every element is specifically designed to protect people and products from electrostatic discharge problems.

Where are ESD chairs used

ESD chairs are required wherever people work with electronic components. The static protection provided by ESD chairs is essential for workers that dealwith sensitive electronic circuitry or controlled-environment areas such as a cleanroom that requires minimised environmental pollutants.

ESD chairs are now an essential part of EPAs (ESD Protected Area) in industries such as:

-Manufacturing - facilities where PCBs and other electronic components are produced, assembled or tested

-Science & Education- technical production facilities; training & didactic centres, etc. -

Healthcare - in environments with delicate medical electronics

-Cleanroom - in critical environment facilities

Advantages of using ESD chairs

Different ESD safe chairs may have different features but generally, every ESD chair offers these advantages:

-protects personnel and products from electrostatic discharge problems

-minimises environmental pollutants in controlled environments

-provides ergonomic support for sitting workers

-protects product quality and reliability

-promotes worker efficiency over long hours of work
