Antistatic flooring should be installed in high traffic/high use networked environments to minimize nuisance static and to provide additional protection against static damage. ESD flooring should be installed anywhere the threat of uncontrolled static electricity buildup and discharge is a concern and could jeopardize the performance and operation of electronics systems or the handling, assembly and repair of electronics.

Most people have experienced an electrostatic discharge (ESD) during their lifetime. It&#;s what happens when you walk with socks on carpet or rub a balloon in your hair. And while these actions are mostly harmless, ESD can wreak severe havoc on a variety of industrial and technical equipment. In these cases, that tiny shock from your finger can turn into a disaster costing thousands. In fact, according to the ESD Association, sudden electrostatic discharge can reach up to 15,000 volts &#; enough to damage delicate electronic equipment in an instant.

The science behind ESD is simple: When one object contacts another, electrons move around and charge up the touched object. At some point, the recipient of those electrons touches something that&#;s been grounded and can conduct electricity. At that point, the electrons fly into the new object and you end up with ESD.
As you may have guessed, many products have emerged over the past century to battle the shocking effects of ESD. Yet few have proven as effective as the humble anti-static mat. The best anti-static mats provide peak protection to any office or industrial floor. An anti-static mat cuts off the problem from the ground up &#; ensuring those dangerous electrons stay where they belong.
