label: Description
content: Fibrotek Industries Inc. was a small company based in Colorado that specialized in producing ESD (electrostatic discharge) apparel and cleanroom garments. Cleanrooms are highly controlled environments designed to minimize airborne particles such as dust, microorganisms, and vapors, with the goal of reducing contamination. These environments are essential in industries where even tiny particles can affect product safety and reliability. In addition to particle control, managing static electricity is crucial in certain fields. ESD clothing is engineered to prevent the transfer of static charges from individuals or their clothing to sensitive environments. It is commonly used in settings where static-related damage is a concern. Typical ESD garments include boots, coveralls, lab jackets, and smocks, some of which may include hoods.
