Tech Wear LOC-73C ESD Lab Coat, OFX-100, Pink, Knitted Cuffs, 3 Pockets — XS
Tech Wear LOC-73C — ESD Lab Coat, OFX-100, Pink, Knitted Cuffs, 3 Pockets
The Tech Wear LOC-73C is a static dissipative ESD lab coat in pink, constructed from Tech Wear’s OFX-100 fabric — a traditional ESD garment material with a long track record in electronics manufacturing, cleanroom, and ESD-controlled environments. The lab coat style provides full-length coverage from shoulder to knee, offering greater body coverage than a jacket-style smock. The LOC-73C features knitted cuffs for a secure wrist fit, three pockets for tool and component storage, and a clean lab coat design suited for operators who require extended coverage or whose facility uses lab coats as the standard EPA garment. Available in XS through 5XL.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Tech Wear LOC-73C lab coat and the LOJ-73C jacket smock?
Both are OFX-100 fabric ESD garments in pink with knitted cuffs and 3 pockets — electrically identical. The LOC-73C is a full-length lab coat (shoulder to knee); the LOJ-73C is a jacket-style smock (hip length). Choose the LOC-73C when your facility requires or prefers full-length lab coat coverage in the EPA; choose the LOJ-73C for a shorter jacket-style garment.
What is OFX-100 fabric?
OFX-100 is Tech Wear’s traditional static dissipative ESD garment fabric — a woven material with dissipative properties that reduce body voltage and charge generation during operator movement. It meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 garment requirements per ANSI/ESD STM2.1.
Does the Tech Wear LOC-73C lab coat need to be grounded?
ESD garments are worn over street clothes to prevent charge generation from reaching ESD-sensitive devices. The garment does not need to be independently grounded in most ANSI/ESD S20.20 programs — the operator is grounded via wrist strap or foot grounders.
How should the LOC-73C be laundered?
Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which can deposit insulative residues and degrade ESD performance. Test periodically per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 to verify continued compliance after laundering.
