I need a new set of gloves for my operators at the end of the reflow oven. MUST be ESD safe. What do you use/recomend?

I'm really wondering about the gloves and wipes. We also reclaim all metal and get paid but, we have to pay for the jars, wipes, tubes, etc... We always come out $ ahead so I'm really more curious than anything.

Years ago we hired a consultant who helped try to resolve our high solder defect rates. He recommended the use of finger cots - $50,000 in consulting fees later, we still had the same defects.

do not touch copper boards, use cotton gloves. IPC 610 has some handling guidelines that you may want to look at. Russ

Cuculi is right. Electrum pays you to take paste,dross,towels gloves etc... Great service!

I tried these and the operators didn't like them. The palm dip didn't slide well on tape and the finger tips were a bit bulky.

By "they've been through the wash cycle twice" what do you mean? What kind of cleaning process do you use? What sort of chemistry? How do you handle the assemblies after wash and before coating? Do the operators where power free gloves? -Phil

While there may not be any specific requirement to cleaning prior to coating, cleaning an assembly prior to coating will only serve to increase the reliability and integrity of the coating. Some residues from low-solids fluxes can interact with conf

Yes, We have done away with masking with kapton 8 yrs ago. As long as the goldfingers are leading edge you can use one of these: 1. rubber goldfinger boot/glove - contact east use to carry them...don't know if they still do. 2. fiberglass glove - ma
