We've not seen the specific coats that you speak of.  You're correct that
something 'smells fishy', if you'll pardon the expression, about them.

It would be nice to lower inventory.  We have three coats per person ... one
to wear, one in transit to the laundry, and one returning from the laundry.

We find that testing between panels and arms of ESD smocks is oppressive.
So, we plan to replace them with cotton lab coats.  While it gets us away
from the testing issue, we still have to pay the laundry bill.

Subject: [TN] ESD Smocks


My company has considered changing to an ESD smock that the operator can
take home.  Supposedly the smock can be washed regularly w/o bleach and also
dried with fabric softeners.  The smock is good for 50-100 washes.
Something sounds wrong here.  Is anyone else out there using smocks like
this, likes/dislikes, etc.?

TIA

Kathy
