What does ESD mean?

ESD stands for Electric Static Discharge and is also referred to as antistatic or electrically discharging. In principle, no natural materials or fabrics made from staple fibers should be used for cleanroom clothing. They tend to break off in the event of friction, such as occurs when they are worn or washed, or can be detached from the yarn structure and contaminate the environment. For cleanroom clothing, it is therefore recommended to only use polyester continuous filaments, which are processed into very fine, dense fabrics with a small pore size.
