Our static control chairs excel in environments where static electricity could be a problem such as in the manufacture of electronic components or explosives. Both types are built on the same frame. The upholstery determines the level of static control. Since fabric choices determine the conductivity of a chair, BioFit limits the upholstery choices for conductive seating to ballistics conductive nylon, grade C conductive nylon and black static control vinyl. Static control vinyl is impregnated with carbon, a natural conductive material.
Conductive chairs require glides that help drain electricity from the chair leg to the floor.
Failure to use metal glides means the only path for static decay is through the drag chain, a substantially less reliable track. The microcon vinyl is an expanded heavy gauge vinyl with a cloth backing. The cloth backing is a knit fabric that reinforces the vinyl. We have combination static control and clean room seating to meet the high technology users' needs for ergonomic seating. These chrome-plated, static control chairs are available in Class 1, Class 1 Max , Class 10, Class 100 and Class 1000 clean room versions.
