Menda 16 oz ESD-Safe Insulated Stainless Steel Drinking Cup with Screw-On Lid – 35893

Enjoy hot or cold beverages at your workstation with this 16 oz stainless steel drinking cup, designed for use in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected environments. Its low-charging metal construction provides a practical alternative to conventional foam and plastic drinking cups that can generate electrostatic charges near sensitive electronic components.

Manufactured with a double-wall stainless steel interior and exterior, this reusable drinking cup provides thermal insulation to help maintain beverage temperature. Whether you're enjoying coffee during a morning shift or keeping water nearby throughout the workday, its insulated construction makes it a convenient addition to electronics manufacturing, assembly, and repair workstations.

The screw-on lid features a flip opening for convenient drinking. The threaded design provides a secure fit, while the flip opening allows access to your beverage without removing the entire lid.

One of the cup's most important features is its low-charging stainless steel construction. Unlike many conventional plastic and foam containers, the conductive metal body allows electrostatic charge to dissipate to ground when the cup is handled by a properly grounded operator or placed in contact with a suitable grounded surface.

With a 16 oz (470 mL) capacity and an overall height of approximately 7.5 inches, the cup provides a practical size for everyday workplace use. Its reusable construction also helps reduce dependence on disposable drinking cups.

The cup is manufactured from BPA-free and toxin-free materials, and the lid has been tested for specified phthalates under applicable consumer product safety testing requirements.

Designed for ESD-Protected Work Environments

Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic components during manufacturing, assembly, testing, and repair.

Many ordinary plastic and foam drinking containers can accumulate electrostatic charge through handling, movement, and contact with other materials.

This stainless steel drinking cup provides a low-charging alternative for facilities that permit beverages in designated work areas.

The conductive metal body allows accumulated charge to move to ground when it contacts a properly grounded operator or suitable grounded surface.

This helps reduce concerns associated with bringing conventional static-generating drink containers into an ESD-protected environment.

The cup should be used according to your facility's ESD-control procedures and workplace beverage policies.

Double-Wall Stainless Steel Insulation

The cup features stainless steel on both the inside and outside, with a double-wall design that provides thermal insulation.

This construction helps slow temperature changes in hot and cold beverages.

It is suitable for enjoying coffee, tea, water, and other compatible drinks throughout the workday.

Actual temperature retention depends on the starting beverage temperature, ambient conditions, lid position, and frequency of use.

The stainless steel construction also provides a durable alternative to disposable foam and plastic drinking cups.

Screw-On Lid with Flip Opening

The included screw-on lid provides convenient access to beverages.

Its threaded attachment helps keep the lid securely fitted during normal use.

The flip opening allows you to drink without removing the entire lid.

This design is useful at workstations where quick access to beverages is preferred.

Close the flip opening when the cup is not in use.

Although the lid provides a secure fit, the cup should not be assumed completely leakproof or spillproof.

Low-Charging Stainless Steel Construction

The stainless steel body is electrically conductive.

When it contacts an appropriate grounded surface or is handled by a properly grounded operator, electrostatic charge can be removed through the grounding path.

This differs from ordinary insulating plastic and foam containers, which can retain electrostatic charge.

The cup does not provide an independent grounding connection and should not be considered a replacement for personnel grounding or other ESD-control equipment.

Its protective characteristics depend on appropriate handling and grounding conditions.

Convenient 16 oz Capacity

With a capacity of 16 fluid ounces, the cup holds approximately 470 mL.

This makes it a practical size for coffee, tea, water, and other everyday beverages.

Its approximately 7.5-inch height provides a convenient upright configuration for placement on suitable work surfaces.

Always position beverages away from exposed electrical equipment and sensitive assemblies, following workplace safety requirements.

Reusable Alternative to Disposable Cups

Reusable stainless steel drinkware can help reduce the number of disposable cups used throughout the workday.

The durable metal construction is designed for repeated use.

For facilities seeking to reduce conventional foam and plastic containers around sensitive electronics, this cup provides an alternative that also offers thermal insulation.

Regular cleaning helps maintain the cup for continued use.

BPA-Free Materials and Lid Testing

The drinking cup is described as BPA-free and toxin-free.

The manufacturer also reports testing of the lid for specified phthalates using CPSC-CH-C1001-09.4, a composite test method.

The reported results are:

These results apply to the specified lid testing and should not be interpreted as certification of unrelated product characteristics.

Care and Maintenance

Wash the cup and lid before first use.

Clean both components regularly using methods appropriate for stainless steel drinkware and the lid materials.

Pay particular attention to the screw threads and flip opening, where beverage residue may accumulate.

Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and allow the components to dry before storage.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the finish.

Dishwasher and microwave compatibility are not specified. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions when available, and do not place the metal cup in a microwave.

Inspect the lid periodically for damage or improper fit.
