Reztore Unscented Clean Hand Lotion

Menda now introduces Reztore hand lotion in a clean, unscented formula in an 8oz squeeze bottle, Item 35666. It contains NO fragrance and NO dyes, which makes it ideal for any
user. Reztore contains no silicone or other chemicals that may contaminate and cause solderability problems and corrosion of electronic components. Reztore is a special ESD dissipative formulation for the electronic manufacturing environment. It will not insulate skin like regular lotions. It helps provide a reliable path-to-ground when using proper grounding devices such as wrist straps or gloves, thereby protecting ESD susceptible product. It helps lower skin electrical resistance and eliminates annoying time consuming dry-skin wrist strap testing failures. Reztore contains Vitamins A, D, E and Aloe Vera, absorbs quickly, and restores moisture to dry hands. It is not tacky or greasy. Surface Resistance is 106 Ohms. Reztore is made in America.

Note: Per ESD Handbook TR20.20 paragraph 5.3.2.4.3 Test Procedure, "If the [wrist strap test] resistance is still too high, dry skin might be the problem. Dry skin conditions can be resolved by applying moisturizing lotion on the wrist and repeating the resistance test again. The moisturizing lotion should be one that is compatible with process requirements."

*Per ESD Handbook TR20.20 section 5.3.3.5 Common Testing Problems "Occasionally, footwear may indicate a high resistance. Outside of the shoe material itself being a contributor to high resistance, the wearer's skin (if dry), heavy or insulative socks, or the absence of a sweat layer due to differences in temperature between the inner surfaces of the shoes and the wearer's feet."
