Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What does ESD mean and why is protective clothing necessary?
ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. Even small, barely noticeable discharges can irreparably damage microchips, circuit boards, and sensors. The AS20 dissipates charges in a controlled manner before discharge occurs.
❓ How long does the ESD protection of the AS20 last?
Since the carbon fibers are woven directly into the fabric, the ESD protection remains for the entire lifespan of the shirt with proper care. There is no coating that peels off.
❓ Can the AS20 be used as an undershirt?
Yes, the AS20 is specifically designed to be comfortably worn under ESD lab coats, work coats, or work jackets. The slim crew neck cut and light weight of 150 g/m² make it the ideal base shirt.
❓ Is the AS20 also available in bulk and with a company logo?
Absolutely. The AS20 is available in 9 colors and can be embroidered with your company logo. For bulk orders, please contact us directly at info@masterwear.de – we will be happy to provide you with a customized offer.
