Vidaro Vi-Gard Static Dissipative Garments

Controlling static is crucial

Static electricity can spell trouble. In the laboratory, in manufacturing, in assembly and  packaging areas, people can generate and retain static charges up to 35,000 volts -- more than enough to damage or degrade nearby sensitive electronic components, devices and semiconductors. This is especially true in low-humidity  areas.

That is why  C.C. Steven uses Vidaro Vi-Gard static dissipative fabrics for  its garments. Along with other  static control devices, these four Advanced Static Control fabrics provide a first-line defense against product damage.

Vi-Gard garments offer durability, improved color retention  and permanent static control  properties. These modern, permanent-press garments require no topical treatment, so you can wear, handle, and launder them as you would ordinary clothing.

Vidaro Advanced Static Control garments are cool and comfortable, so they may be worn over normal clothing, yet they effectively reduce electrostatic charges to safe levels, eliminating the possibility  of arcing from workers to sensitive electronic products.
