Anti Static Mats: A True Savior

Even you might have also observed a mild shock when walking around the living room on a rainy or humid day. Yes, this shock is exactly called as electro static discharge or ESD. It can be a hazard in work places, where an operator has to deal with large electronics and circuit boards.

Even large servers are put on risk in case when static electricity has saturated the environment. This static electricity develops when there is imbalance in the positive and negative charges in an atom and it generally happens due to friction between two surfaces. In that situation, people around a high voltage machine can be subjected to electrocution. The same may also happen if the discharge is very strong.

These electrostatic discharges can be so powerful that it can be generated even when you walk on a carpet and the sole of your shoes rub against the rug or mat. Thanks to the advent of anti static mats, that has solved a big problem of the people working with such sensitive as well as dangerous electronic equipments and devices.

Anti static floor mats also known as ground mats are a perfect example of anti static devices that help to remove these strong and dangerous ESD. These mats have higher resistance to electricity and allow the current to pass through a very low speed. This not only save the sensitive electronic devices but also protects the workmen or the operator completely from electric shocks. These are available to be placed both at floors and table.

Another name to it is static dissipative matting. They actually serve as insulating mats with no grounded references, so it can’t be grounded. These are usually plugged into a grounded line in an electric outlet that helps to protect the workmen from high and low electric shocks. Just like ESD tiles, it is also available in different kind of material depending upon the requirements of different industries.

Generally vinyl and stainless steel fiber is used in its manufacturing. They are available in variety of sizes, colors (gray, blue, and green), and shapes to suit the environment as well as to have different slip resistant properties. Not just this, anti static mats can also be obtained in single, two, or three layered material.

ESD mats or anti static mats restrict the current to close its circuit and affect to the worker in any way. For the ease of customers, these mats have also been made available online so that a customer from any nook of the world can purchase it without any hassle. Purchasing online also allow to check and compare the price difference of this product offered by different suppliers. Don’t forget to check for quality to ensure you are getting best value of your money.
