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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What 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?
ESD fabric 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 ESD fabric 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 ESD fabric be cut and sewn locally?
Yes — ESD fabric 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 ESD fabric?
Properly washed ESD fabric 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.
