The 361ACQ is a hip-length jacket made of the heavier NYLOSTAT fabric, which is not suitable for grounding, but is intended for less sensitive applications, and in conditions where solder-splash is a concern.
Fabric weight: 5 oz per square yard.
Color selection: White
Fabric content: 65% polyester, 34% cotton and 1% carbon modified nylon in a woven grid pattern.
Nylostat is a heavier, softer, more natural feeling fabric intended for non-critical ESD applications, where basic static shielding is desired. It is not suitable for grounding via cuffs or Key Option, nor is is guaranteed. Nylostat is a precured soil-release resin finish to offer easy care characteristics to garments. Such properties as wrinkle resistance in use and no iron properties when washed and tumble dried minimize the maintenance effort for the wearer.
Surface Resistivity - Electrical resistivity influences the accumulation of electrostatic charge on a fabric. Specimens conditioned at 50% relative humidity and 70oF are tested for resistance to passage of electrical current. The surface resistivity should be less than 1011 ohms.
Voltage Decay Test - Using a standard test procedure to apply both positive and negative 5000 volt charges to fabric samples, the time required for a specimen to drop to 10% of charge potential and for complete dissipation of the charge are measured. The shorter the time to zero voltage the better a material's ability to dissipate a charge induced on the surface is when grounded.
