Anti Static Conductive Flooring

Types of esd flooring and prices.

Anti static conductive flooring.

By grounding the charge anti static flooring prevents the esd from building up and discharging into the environment so installing anti static flooring is an essential step in creating a safe environment for workers and visitors. The anti static floor can be static dissipative or electrostatically conductive. A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribocharging or by electrostatic induction. We loosely define those surfaces as esd flooring.

A build up of static electricity occurs when a non conductive object rubs against another non conductive object. Other common names are anti static flooring static flooring conductive tile static resistant flooring non static flooring and grounded floors. Both anti static flooring and esd flooring are solutions to this problem in the workplace but in order to determine whether you need esd or anti static you need to understand your environment and requirements. Anti static preventing the buildup of static electricity.

Tarkett static dissipative and static conductive flooring offers a flexible high performance solution to keep sensitive environments such as operating theatres computer rooms and electronics safe. Anti static flooring is often used for manufacturers of electronic components automotive and aerospace industries esd systems anti static and conductive resins can control spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge in areas vulnerable to electro static discharge to prevent damage to electronic components and sensitive electrical equipment. Available in homogeneous vinyl and linoleum with a static conductive or static dissipative backing they are colour coordinated with our compact. Reducing static electric charges as on textiles waxes polishes etc by retaining enough moisture to provide electrical conduction.

What is static conductive floor. A static free environment is created by eliminating normal static generating surfaces like carpet rubber and tile. Esd flooring has multiple construction and configuration options each of which varies in price anti static properties and conductivity including. Electrically conductive flooring is sometimes referred to as anti static conductive flooring defined by an electric resistance of between 10 4 and 10 15 ohms.

The exclusive four part system comprised of tile adhesive copper grounding strips and polish works together to dissipate electrostatic charges protecting people and preventing damage to.
