Whichever Advanced Static Control fabric you select, you get quality ESD clothing for today’s critical test, assembly, packaging, QA and QC applications that keeps on working, even after many launderings.

Controlling static is crucial

Static electricity can spell trouble. In the laboratory, in manufacturing, in assembly and packaging areas, people can generate and retain static charges up to 35,000 volts — more than enough to damage or degrade nearby sensitive electronic components, devices and semiconductors. This is especially true in low-humidity areas.

That’s why Vidaro uses Vi-Gard static dissipative fabrics for its garments. Along with other static control devices, these four Advanced Static Control fabrics provide a first-line defense against product damage.

Vi-Gard garments offer durability, improved color retention and permanent static control properties. These modern, permanent-press garments require no topical treatment, so you can wear, handle, and launder them as you would ordinary clothing.

Vidaro Advanced Static Control garments are cool and comfortable, so they may be worn over normal clothing, yet they effectively reduce electrostatic charges to safe levels, eliminating the possibility of arcing from workers to sensitive electronic products.

Vidaro means quality custom features

Vidaro makes clothing that works for you — for your working environment.  That means we’ll give you exactly what you need — whether it’s special sizes, features, fabrics or styles.

If our stock garments aren’t exactly what you need, tell us. We’ll design in the performance features you’re looking for, along with our usual top quality, exacting detail and fullness of pattern.

Tests performed on Vi-Gard I fabrics at 50% relative humidity and at 70°F produce a surface resistivity of less than 2.6 x 106 - 4.8 x 109 ohms/unit square.

Vi-Gard® II: for all assembly and other non-cleanroom uses

A warp knit blend of 98% polyester with 2% carbon-suffused nylon yarns, this Vidaro Advanced Static Control fabric also weighs only four ounces/square yard — light enough for even the most particular worker.

Strict laboratory tests indicate a surface resistivity of 2.0 x 105 ohms/unit square.

Vi-Gard® Lite: versatile and light at 3.2 ounces/square yard

A blend of 96% polyester and 4% carbon-modified nylon yarn. Testing shows surface resistivity (ohms/unit square) of 2.0 x 105 and 2.0 x 106 at 50 launderings.

Vi-Gard® Ultra-Lite: This new product features the lightest weight fabric Vidaro offers at 2.3 ounces/square yard, a smaller grid pattern and higher percentage of carbon-modified nylon yarn.
