Grounding

This material must be properly grounded for optimum electrical performance.

Cleaning

For optimum electrical performance, the surface must be cleaned regularly using an ESD mat cleaner. Do not use cleaners with silicone. Silicone build-up has insulating properties and will create a film on the surface.

Why is it important to be ESD safe?

ESD safe mats help to create an ESD protected area (EPA). This is a defined space where all surfaces, objects, people and ESD Sensitive Devices (ESDs) are kept at the same electrical potential. This is achieved by using anti-static materials such as rubber. The mats can be used on your worktop bench or the floor. You can also use ESD safe gloves and ESD safe footwear to ensure optimum personal grounding and protection. It's important to create an EPA because electrostatic discharge can cause safety issues and damage your electrical components.

Bench / Floor Matting

The most efficient way of ensuring optimum personal grounding is to employ the combination of ESD footwear and ESD matting.
