ESD Bench & Chairs

At Industrial Seating ™ we view sitting as a dynamic activity. Quality ergonomic design goes into every industrial seating tm chair without compromising our advanced technology or our commitment to value.

Selecting industrial seating ™ office or production seating means workplace productivity is increased, while back, leg and neck problems are decreased. By reducing the risk and frequency of back, leg and neck problems thorough superior ergonomically designed ESD Bench & Chairs. We help employers contain the costa5 associated with minor traumas which accumulate from inappropriate seating.

Foam quality: At industrial seating tm we understand that the quality, firmness, and thickness of foam is very important. We have always used the highest quality dual-density foam in our seats and backs. Dual density foam produces a seat which is initially soft, but remains firm underneath to provide proper support for prolonged seating. is tm seating will remain ergonomically stable for at least to ten to twenty years.

Seat cushion ergonomics: The use of firm foam of the proper thickness stops seat cushions from ¨ wrapping¨ around legs. As this reduces compression on the leg capillaries and soft tissues, it reduces restriction of blood flow. Increased circulation promotes user comfort and productivity.

Back cushion ergonomics: When designing a back cushion as integral part of an ergonomic chair, it is important to understand that the basic dynamics of the spine. When a person sits, the lower lumbar area has tendency to bend more radically, causing uneven vertebral spacing and disk pressure. Industrial seating TM back cushion offer graduated support lo the lumbar area vertebra, thus maintaining uniform disk spacing. We also offer, as an option, a simple system for adjusting the lumbar pressure.

Adjustability: As bodies are of different heights, weights, and spinal configurations, the need for adjustability is crucial. People need to be able to adjust their position to accommodate their height and weight, as well as their activities white seated. We provide pneumatic height adjustment, independent back height and back angle adjustment, adjustable seat angle and adjustable foot rings. This allows industrial sealing tm chair users to change positions easily. This adjustably will also allow occupants to open up their posture, promoting better circulation and processing of oxygen, essential for increased attention and productivity.

Industrial seating ™ has never taken a ¨ back seat¨ to any manufacturer in quality, value, and ergonomics.

Safety Standards

At industrial seating ™, we have established our own high standards for balance and structural integrity.

Positive back stop and wide bass: These keep the occupant from extending upper body weight past the point where the base will safely support it.

T-Nut fasteners: All Industrial Seating ™ cushions are securely fastened to the chair’s structural components by use of ¨ T-nuts¨, and machine screws. there is no dependence on adhesives of wood screws.

ANSI/ BIFMA & GSA STANDARS: Structural standards set by these three highly respected national organizations are used as purchasing guidelines by most major buyers of office seating. Companies using these standards have drastically reduced the possibility of injury to their employees. all industrial seating tm products meet and exceed each structural and wear standard.

Braking Casters: Braking casters are offered on all Industrial Seating ™ modes to reduce the risk of accidents. These special casters roll with resistance when the chair is empty, but release to roll smoothly when occupied.

Clean Room Specifications

We offer clean room seating designed to maintain reduced particulate levels as specified in FEDERAL STANDARD 209E, Class 10/.2 micron and/or Class 100/.5 micron.

Sealed System: On Industrial Seating clean room seating, the air exhausted from the sealed cushions is passed through three 99.99% effective .2-micron filter systems. These filters allow air within the sealed cushions to be expelled under minimal pressure.

This filtering system first “strains out” larger particles, then traps all particles down to below 0.2 micron size. Fastener holes in cushions are filtered with the same quality system.

Permanent adhesives are used to double seal edges of all cover materials used on IS class 10 and class 100 clean room seating.

Independent Tests: Results of independent laboratory tests (available upon request) on IS clean room seating produced results of ten times less particulate then allowed by Federal Standard 209E for both class 100 and class 10 seating.

Group II Heavy Duty 36.z. vinyls:: We use only GenCorp TM Prefix tm treated heavy duty vinyls on our clean room (-VCR) models. These vinyls use patented technology to eliminate the possibility of most stains, while making cushions covered with these special vinyls much tougher to puncture or tear.

Group IV Dissipative. Vinyls: This heavy duty 42-once dissipative vinyl (108 to 109 per square) carries static charges trough its carbon filled inner layer to avoid “echo” charges. A thin nonconductive layer eliminates sloughing of conductive particulate.

Our fifteen-year unconditional warranty covers every aspect of our seating, including static control.

Rubber Edge Protector: Each industrial vinyl cushion comes with a soft urethane edge banding to safeguard against tears and cuts.

Stainless Steel: All clean room seating products come standard with double chrome plated gas spring columns and back bars. For special applications, stainless steel staples, fasteners and electropolished stainless steel and/or zinc plated metal components are available to further reduce particulation.

Conductive Seating Features

Our Conductive seating insures a safe, static-clear work area. All conductive seating models are equipped with conductive seat cushions, back cushions, as well as metal parts, and a patented dual resistance system.

ESD Dependability is absolutely critical for the entire structural life of the chair. When we patented triple cushion conductivity, we engineered the most dependable static control system ever designed.

Operator Safety is important: Many conductive chairs are used at test benches where operators could receive an electrical shock. All of our ESD Chairs have dual resistors in the vertical gas lift column. These two resistors reduce the possibility of injury in production and test areas, while static charges dissipate rapidly.

Complete discharge is critical: ISTM pioneered the use of conductive fabric with backer. Without our patented system, following the path of static charge on a seat cushion was very easy. It leaves smaller charges on the nonconductive filaments it passes on the surface. A each layer in an ISTM cushion is progressively more conductive, charges pass directly from the fabric to the backer, and then off the cushion.

These fabrics have a higher resistance level on the surface that the special latex backing material. This directs the static charges through the special fabric to the lower resistance latex backing layer, eliminating static “echo charges”.

Chairs must withstand a caustic environment: We know static control chairs are sometimes used in the same area where soldering, plating, and wafer fabrication occurs. These operations leave seemingly harmless amounts of chemicals attack plastic products like vinyls, fabrics, and foams. Knowing this, materials used in our seating are specifically engineered to insure long and useful chair life under these conditions.

All static control areas are not the same: Distributors routinely investigate every aspect of your application before making a recommendation, assuring you the correct model for your application.

Our fifteen-year unconditional warranty covers every aspect of our seating, including static control.

Casters: Chairs with polished aluminum bases are equipped with conductive casters. Nylon base models use standard casters and a drag chain for conductivity.
Select from special casters for soft or hard floors and braking casters to reduce the mobility of the chairs while they are unoccupied.

Group IV ISstat™ fabrics are woven from lo-static generative polyolefin, and are rated at 106 ohms per square. Conductivity is established with continuous conductive filaments running in both directions. These conductive filaments are interconnected by a dissipative latex back coating.
