Hardware

ESD mat materials come in many variations. In general, mats are either made from vinyl or rubber material and can be homogeneous or multi-layered. Two layer rubber mats, in general, have good chemical and heat resistance but vinyl tends to be more cost effective. The electrical properties of an ESD mat are important to know in controlling the electrostatic discharge. Transforming Technologies offers high quality two layer rubber mats at vinyl prices.

A conductive or static dissipative floor mat or ground mat is one of a number of static antistatic devices designed to help eliminate static electricity. It does this by having a conductive or dissipative material embedded within the mat that conducts the static. Properly installed mats need to be grounded (earthed). This is usually accomplished by connecting the mat to electrical ground via a ground wire. A 1 meg ohm resistor is normally connected in line for operator safety. Some ground mat accessories allow you to connect an ESD wrist strap
to them.

An ESD mat will be either electrically conductive or dissipative. Both terms mean that the mat will conduct a charge when grounded. The difference in the terms is defined by the materials resistance that affects the speed of the discharge. By definition [ESD ADV1.0-1994] a conductive material has a surface resistivity of less than 1x105 W /sq and a dissipative material is greater than 1x105 W /sq but less than 1x1012 W /sq. Anything with a surface resistivity greater than 1x1012 W /sq is considered insulative and will essentially not conduct charges. Transforming Technologies has the ESD mat
you need.
