Desco’s Statshield chair cover is a low charging, dissipative (1 x 106 to < 1 x 109 ohms) material designed to convert a standard chair into an ESD version. The Statshield chair cover is made from a polyester/cotton blend fabric with BASF carbon suffused mono-filament nylon. The chair back and seat are connected to a drag chain with a 1 megohm resistor that enables the chair cover to be grounded when used on a conductive floor or mat. Desco’s Statshield chair covers are machine washable.
Installation
Attach top part of cover to chair back and bottom part of cover (with grounding chain attached) to chair seat. Make sure cover is fitted, centered, and secured to chair. Secure the ground chain to center post underneath chair with hook and loop and make sure ground chain makes contact with ESD floor. A minimum length of 6 inches of chain should make contact with the floor. For chairs with wheels make sure the chain is clear of the wheels so that it does not become entangled with the wheels.
