Anti-Static Mats
Anti-static mats or ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) are a type of floor matting used to protect equipment and employees from electrostatic discharges. With anti-static mats, it is possible to prevent any sudden discharge of electrical energy, which could permanently damage equipment or more seriously lead to the harm of the individual using the equipment.
Mats Nationwide stock all the floor mats you need to provide ESD protection in the workplace, including a range of industry tested ESD matting and anti-static floor mats to protect both staff and electronic components against the harmful effects of static electricity.
Improve Working Environments With Anti Static Rubber Mats
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is problematic in the working environment, with the potential to cause serious damage to electrical components.
Floors, chairs, work surfaces and packaging all create static electricity, which when released into an electronic device becomes Electrostatic Discharge. Rubbing, sliding, separating a material or simply walking over a carpet can create static electricity, and in workplaces such as data centres, or electric part manufacturing facilities, it can cause permanent damage.
Anti-static floor mats are constructed with vinyl or rubber and these specialist mat products are effective in controlling ESD, primarily for protecting sensitive components as well as human operatives. Anti Static floor mats draw the static charge to the ground but must be either ‘static dissipative’ or ‘conductive’, and grounded to earth through accessories such as heel grounders, wristbands and cords, to be effective.
Rubber Anti-Static Floor Mats
Rubber is the most common material Anti-Static mats are available in as it has a number of important qualities. Rubber has a high level of heat resistance and is also resistant to most chemicals used in the workplace. Not only this, it is a great material for anti fatigue purposes as it is both durable and provides comfort for those standing in the same spot for long periods.
Benefits of Anti Static Matting
Anti-Static matting protects valuable electronic equipment and employees but offers additional benefits too. For those standing most of the working day, Anti-Static floor mats provide anti-fatigue properties, which help to prevent serious long-term health problems and fatigue.
