ESD Smart Manufacturing Sweatshirt
The Portwest AS25 Anti-Static ESD Zip Sweatshirt is reusable ESD clothing designed for electronics manufacturing, component assembly, testing, repair, semiconductor production, and other electrostatic-discharge-controlled workplaces.
Made from 96% cotton and 4% carbon fiber, this cotton-rich ESD sweatshirt provides workday comfort while carbon fiber knitted throughout the fabric helps control electrostatic charge. Portwest lists the AS25 under EN 1149-5 and confirms that it is tested to EN 61340-5-1 for use in ESD environments.
The full-length zipper allows technicians to put on or remove the garment efficiently when entering and leaving ESD-protected areas. Ribbed cuffs and a fully elasticated waistband provide a secure fit, while two side pockets offer convenient storage.
Unlike an ordinary cotton sweatshirt or work jacket, the conductive carbon-fiber construction makes the AS25 suitable for facilities operating formal static-control programs. It provides a comfortable alternative to an ESD lab coat when employees need a warmer, sweatshirt-style ESD garment.
Bulk Ordering & Procurement Support
Need ESD apparel for an electronics plant, PCB assembly operation, semiconductor facility, technical laboratory, repair department, government facility, or recurring uniform program? American Safety Associates, LLC (ASA, LLC) supports industrial, commercial, institutional, municipal, and government purchasing teams with bulk quotes, purchase orders, volume pricing, and product sourcing. Facilities purchasing ESD clothing for production teams can request a formal PPE quote from ASA, LLC
Portwest identifies the AS25 as suitable for corporate personalization. Logo placement and decoration methods should be reviewed before production to avoid interfering with carbon-fiber performance, garment markings, or workplace ESD requirements.
Safety Note
This garment supports electrostatic-discharge control; it is not electrical-shock PPE, arc-rated clothing, or flame-resistant workwear. It does not replace grounded flooring, ESD footwear, wrist straps, workstation controls, training, testing, or other elements of an ESD-control program. No verified cleanroom classification is provided, so cleanroom use must be approved by the facility’s contamination-control program.

Buying Guide: ESD Sweatshirt vs. ESD Lab Coat
Choose the AS25 when employees need cotton-rich comfort, warmth, and a full-zip ESD garment for general work inside an ESD-protected area.
Choose an ESD lab coat when greater clothing coverage, a concealed closure, or an anti-scratch outer layer is preferred. Neither garment replaces the facility’s complete grounding and static-control system. For facilities that prefer greater outer-garment coverage, compare our ESD anti-static lab coat.
