Antistatic sweatshirts and jackets

Antistatic sweatshirts – the basis of protection against electrostatic discharge

Antistatic sweatshirts are a key component of antistatic clothing used in workplaces exposed to uncontrolled electrostatic charge buildup. This type of antistatic workwear is made of materials containing conductive fibers, which are designed to conduct electrical charges away from the fabric surface and reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge. This category features ESD sweatshirts from renowned manufacturers, including Portwest , available in a variety of styles, weights, and versions, including insulated versions designed for work in lower temperatures.

Antistatic Sweatshirt – for whom and for what applications?

An antistatic work Sweatshirt is perfect for any application requiring ESD properties or protection against the effects of electrostatic discharge. Antistatic clothing in this category is used in the electronics, automotive, chemical, and energy industries, as well as in potentially explosive atmospheres where contact with gases and vapors requires the use of clothing with enhanced safety parameters. Antistatic shirts are also chosen by welding workers, who appreciate their flame-retardant construction and high-temperature resistance.

What should you pay attention to when choosing an antistatic sweatshirt?

When selecting clothing, it's worth paying attention to compliance with applicable standards – the most important of which is EN 1149-5 (PN-EN 1149-5), which specifies requirements for materials that dissipate electrostatic charges. Depending on the job position, the EN ISO 11612 standard, which covers protection against flame and heat, may also be useful, as well as protection against the effects of an electric arc (ARC) in the case of work on electrical installations. Some antistatic sweatshirts, such as those from Bizflame line or those marked FR25, combine antistatic properties with flame retardancy, further enhancing the level of protection.

When choosing an antistatic sweatshirt, it is also worth paying attention to:

• material composition – most often a mixture of cotton and polyester with an admixture of conductive fibers,
• cut and comfort of use – sweatshirt should not restrict movement,
• reflective elements to improve visibility in difficult conditions,
• intended use – work in cold, warm or hot conditions,
• compliance with the standards applicable to a given position.

A well-chosen antistatic sweatshirt ensures comfort and safety throughout the working day, and its protective properties should be retained even after many washing cycles, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
