Protection solutions for the Life Sciences sector, and in particular the LSS Electronics branch, must provide safety combined with precision in the workplace. Avoiding intoxication, cross-contamination and chemical, biological or physical hazards is essential. When handling electronic components, antistatic gloves and other clothing to prevent electrostatic discharges must be worn.
Protective suit in the field of Life Sciences and Electronics LSS
In these areas of activity it is important to avoid the aforementioned risks and damage to the products being worked with. For this purpose, a wide variety of antistatic garments are available.
One of the main parts is the protective suit, whose purpose is to prevent damage to electronic components and electrostatic discharges. This is essential, since a small discharge could be enough to damage circuits or electronic equipment.
What are Ansell's antistatic body protection suits made of?
They are made with conductive materials and special coatings. Thus, when static electricity is generated, it is safely dissipated. Likewise, the accumulation of electrostatic charges that could affect the operator is prevented and electronic components are protected from damaging discharges.
Main antistatic suits
Ansell's AlphaTec® and BioClean™ lines feature antistatic properties to meet applicable standards and regulations in the Life Science and LSS Electronics industries. There are several models that meet the ideal characteristics to provide comfortable use with maximum safety and durability. These are some of them.
AlphaTec® 1800 Standard - Model 111
It is a hooded suit that covers the whole body, very comfortable and breathable. It is therefore ideal for hot environments where the risk of heat stress must be mitigated. It is also white in color and does not contain silicone.
Matching the previous model, it is antistatic according to EN 1149-5 and AATCC 76. Likewise, it does not leave fibers, which prevents cross-contamination.
AlphaTec® 1500 PLUS - Model 111
Another AlphaTec model with SMS fabrics, breathable and antistatic according to EN 1149-5. Due to its properties, it mitigates heat stress. It also provides an optimized fit and is silicone-free.
It consists of a 3-piece hood. It has elastic at the hood, cuffs, waist and ankles, as well as a two-way front zipper with a resealable zipper cover flap.
Due to its antistatic treatment, one of its main applications is the assembly and inspection of components. However, it ensures safety in all types of environments in the Life Sciences and LSS Electronics vertical.
BioClean-D™ with hood BDCHT
This garment is antistatic and, among its many applications, is intended for medical instrument manufacturing and mixing operations in biotechnologies. Others are the maintenance of apparatus and instruments and the preparation of pharmaceutical products.
Advantages include low particle shedding, CleanTough™ material and thumb rubbers for secure fit. In addition to the above, it has a zipper with sealable flap and elastic areas on the hood, back, cuffs and ankles.
When making your selection, seek the advice of experts with specific knowledge and experience in this field. Ansell is the best choice for acquiring protective equipment in these branches of activity. This is due to its long history and its extensive network of collaborators.
