Desco Introduces New stat-A-REST™ Foot Grounder

Desco has introduced the new stat-A-Rest™ foot grounder. stat-A-REST™ is a new, innovative ESD footwear product. The product employs a unique static dissipation unit-sole securely affixed to the bottom of the user’s footwear through a lightweight elastomer perimeter attachment system.

stat-A-REST™ provides a superior footwear solution in ESD-sensitive workplaces over alternatives in the market including strap-type products and ESD shoes. The electrical performance of stat-A-Rest™ footwear is excellent, with values in the mid 10⁷ ohms range for operator resistance-to-ground measurements made using the methods called out in ANSI/ESD STM97.1. stat-A-REST™ foot grounders are made in the United States of America.

• Full-Coverage Foot Grounder with Contact Points on Sole and Heel Area
  Converts non-ESD footwear to ESD footwear; choice for when handling more sensitive devices (Human Body Model Class 0A)*
• Walking Voltage Generation <50 Volts Tested per ANSI/ESD STM97.2
  Easily meets the ANSI/ESD S20.20 < 100 volt peak body voltage requirement for use as an ESD footwear component in personnel grounding footwear / flooring system.
• Point-to-Groundable Point Resistance < 1 x 10⁹ ohms
  Meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit tested per ANSI/ESD STM97.1, ESD SP9.2, and ESD TR53
• Tear and Chemical Resistant Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Material
  Increases the service life of foot grounder.
• Non-Marring Material
  Will not leave marks on floors (or operator’s shoes); reducing maintenance costs of touching up on floors.
• Conductive 8-Strand Nylon Polyester Grounding Tab
  Additional conductive material provides reliable connection with operator’s sweat-layer.
• Made in the United States of America
  This item is stocked in Canton, MA

*Foot grounders must be used with an ESD floor (recommend conductive flooring < 1 x 10⁶ ohms) to create a path-to-ground and minimize charge generation
