What Is Anti Static Gloves

Antistatic gloves protect equipment and workpieces that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. They are worn when assembling electrical components, performing lab work, and applying coatings to metal.

Should I use anti static gloves?

ESD gloves should be considered as mandatory safety equipment for working in most laboratory, cleanroom, biotec, and electronic works. However, ESD gloves must be used in conjunction with a grounding wrist strap in order to ensure the absolute lowest possibility of electrostatic discharge.
