Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the LOC series and the HOJ series Tech Wear ESD garments?
The LOC series is a knee-length traditional lab coat with a lapel collar and set-in sleeves — providing full-length coverage from shoulders to knees. The HOJ series is a shorter jacket/smock style (hip length) with a different collar and sleeve construction. Both use OFX-100 fabric and are available in “C” style with ESD knit cuffs. Choose the LOC series for full lab coat coverage; choose the HOJ series for a shorter smock that allows more freedom of movement.
How does the LOC-23-M ground the wearer?
The LOC-23-M includes ground snaps that accept a standard wrist strap coiled cord. When connected, the cord grounds both the garment and the wearer through the conductive OFX-100 fabric to the ESD ground point at the workstation. This provides a complete grounding path from the wearer’s body through the garment to ground, supplementing or replacing a traditional wrist strap worn directly on the skin.
What is OFX-100 fabric and does it meet ANSI/ESD S20.20?
OFX-100 is a lightweight ESD-dissipative fabric (2.3 oz/yd²) with a surface resistivity of approximately 10⁵ Ω/sq and static decay from 5,000V to 500V in less than 0.1 seconds. These performance characteristics are consistent with the ESD garment requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20. Verify compliance with your specific program requirements and qualify per ESD TR53 as part of your garment qualification process.
Is the LOC-23-M available in other sizes and colors?
The LOC series is available in multiple sizes and colors. The LOC-23-M is blue, medium. Contact MTE Solutions for availability of other sizes (XS through 5XL) and colors (gray, white) in the LOC series.
