ESD Fabric

ESD fabric in Singapore is conductive textile — polyester or cotton-blend woven with carbon, copper or stainless-steel fibres in a 4–10 mm grid — used to manufacture ESD garments, curtains, partitions and bagging that drains static charge to ground in EPAs and cleanrooms.Phil Industries supplies 108+ ESD fabric SKUs in Singapore — rolls 150 cm wide, in white, blue, pink, yellow and black. Last updated: 17 May 2026.All fabrics comply with IEC 61340-5-1 and test per ANSI/ESD STM2.1 with surface resistance between 10⁶ and 10¹¹ Ω. Standard weights 130–220 GSM; weaves include taffeta, twill and herringbone.Product RangeESD Polyester Fabric (Carbon Grid) — 4 mm / 5 mm / 10 mm grid pitchESD Cotton-Polyester Blend — breathable, 65/35 with carbon fibreESD Conductive Fabric (Copper / Nickel) — RFI/EMI shielding plus ESDESD Curtain & Partition Fabric — transparent PVC with conductive meshESD Bagging Fabric — static-shielding laminate for tote and IC packagingCompliance & Lead TimesFabric TypeStandardSurface ResistanceLead TimePolyester Carbon GridANSI/ESD STM2.110⁶–10¹¹ ΩEx-stockCotton-Poly BlendIEC 61340-5-110⁶–10¹¹ ΩEx-stockConductive (Copper/Nickel)IEEE 299< 1 Ω/sq2–3 weeksCut-to-size & custom colour—Maintained5–7 daysFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is ESD fabric?ESD fabric is a textile that has had conductive fibres — typically carbon, stainless steel, copper or nickel — woven into the warp and weft in a regular grid. The conductive grid allows static charge to migrate across the fabric surface and bleed to ground, preventing charge accumulation on the wearer or the covered equipment.What is the difference between ESD fabric and conductive fabric?the material is static-dissipative with surface resistance 10⁶–10¹¹ Ω, used for garments and curtains. Conductive fabric measures below 1 Ω/sq and is used for RFI/EMI shielding, gasket fabrication and grounding wraps. Both are stocked in Singapore by Phil Industries.What weight this antistatic textile should I choose?For lightweight ESD smocks, choose 130–160 GSM polyester. For coveralls and jackets, 180–220 GSM cotton-poly is more durable and breathable. Phil Industries’ technical team can recommend a weight based on your washing frequency and EPA temperature.Can the textile be cut and sewn locally?Yes — conductive cloth can be cut and sewn with standard industrial sewing machines using conductive thread (carbon-core polyester) to maintain ground continuity across seams. Phil Industries supplies matching conductive thread and offers cut-to-size services in Singapore.Does washing damage the material?Properly washed it retains its properties for 100+ industrial laundry cycles. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach and temperatures above 60 °C, all of which coat or oxidise the carbon grid and raise surface resistance out of the dissipative range.Email kenneth@phil-industries.com.sg, WhatsApp +65 9853 9030 or call +65 6555 1745 for fabric swatches and pricing.Related categories
