Anti-static Work Trousers
The Anti-Static ESD Work Pants are ESD pants designed for electronics manufacturing, component handling, equipment testing, and other workplaces operating formal electrostatic-discharge-control programs.
Made from a lightweight 6 oz fabric containing 65% polyester, 34% cotton, and 1% carbon fiber, these anti-static work pants combine durability, comfort, and inherent static-control performance. Carbon fiber woven throughout the fabric helps dissipate electrostatic charge when the garment is used as part of a properly grounded ESD system.
Portwest lists the AS11 under EN 1149-5 and states that it is tested to EN 61340-5-1. The anti-scratch construction has no exposed metal parts, helping reduce contact risks around sensitive components and finished electronic assemblies.
A half-elasticated waistband supports mobility during long production shifts. Six pockets—two side, two cargo, and two back—provide convenient storage for approved tools, documentation, and personal items.
These ESD work trousers are suitable for electronics assembly, PCB handling, semiconductor production, quality inspection, telecommunications equipment service, and other ESD-protected areas. They are not verified cleanroom garments unless approved under the facility’s contamination-control requirements. Complete an ESD workwear setup with the Portwest AS25 anti-static ESD zip sweatshirt.
Bulk Ordering & Procurement Support
Need anti-static pants for an electronics plant, manufacturing line, technical laboratory, repair operation, government facility, or recurring ESD uniform program? American Safety Associates, LLC (ASA, LLC) supports industrial, institutional, commercial, municipal, and government buyers with volume pricing, purchase orders, sourcing assistance, and formal quotes.
Safety Note
These pants support electrostatic-discharge control; they are not electrical-shock PPE, flame-resistant clothing, or arc-rated workwear. They do not replace grounded flooring, ESD footwear, wrist straps, workstation controls, testing, training, or other elements of an ESD-control program. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your facility’s ESD coordinator or safety program. For greater upper-body clothing coverage, consider an ESD anti-static lab coat.

Buying Guide: ESD Pants vs. Standard Work Pants
Standard work pants may generate or retain electrostatic charge and are not designed for ESD-protected areas. The AS11 integrates conductive carbon fiber throughout the fabric to support controlled charge dissipation within an established ESD program. Workers who need a tailored fit can compare the women’s ESD anti-static work pants.
Choose the AS11 when a unisex cargo-style pant with multiple pockets is appropriate. For workers who need a women-specific cut, select dedicated women’s ESD work pants.
