Rubber gloves

Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

Hm I don't know if they are vinyl or not it says "blue nitrite surgical gloves" just wondering because I'm building my brothers pc on the weekend and I'm currently at the hospital, so just thinking it might be good to take a pair

 

I think you are fine with them. Short google search shows that they are neutral in terms of gathering static.

Just wondering, if you wear rubber surgical gloves while building a pc, would that increase or decrease the chance of a static discharge? Because obviously rubber is unconductive, but can still build up static?.

Unless they are rated to be antistatic, then they can deliver static shocks. This with vinyl gloves, though.

Alright, cool may as well grab a pair then just in case

I've never built with any special anti-static equipment, and there's never been any issues. Remember to touch something metal every once in a while to discharge any static, and you'll be fine.

Also, you could try a quick experiment with those gloves. Rub your feet on carpet to build up a charge, then touch something metal while wearing the gloves. You'll have a definitive answer then.

It would increase the risk of static shock. Rule of thumb: The less conductive a material is, the higher the chance of ESD.

That is why you shouldn't put the mobo on the antistatic bag and turn it on. It is conductive.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Basicly gloves made from natural latex/rubber are the ones giving most static. It seems that nitrile is material with less potential to be static, even when not rated as anti-static.
