Description
Antistatic flooring (ESD flooring) is specially engineered to dissipate electrostatic charges to a safe ground path, protecting sensitive electronic components and preventing ignition risks in explosive environments.
Types of Antistatic / ESD Flooring
- A. ESD Vinyl Flooring Tiles / Rolls
- Most common in electronics & cleanrooms
- High durability, easy maintenance
- B. ESD Epoxy Flooring
- Seamless surface
- Best for high-performance industrial & cleanroom areas
- C. ESD Rubber Flooring
- High chemical & mechanical resistance
- Suitable for heavy-duty applications
- D. ESD Carpet Tiles
- Used in offices, server rooms
Electrical Properties (IEC 61340-5-1 / ANSI/ESD S20.20 Compliant)
- Surface Resistance (Rs): 10⁶ to 10⁹ ohms (static-dissipative range)
- Point-to-Ground Resistance (Rg): 10⁶ to 10⁹ ohms
- Charge Generation: < 100 volts when walked on (meets S20.20 standard)
- Static Decay: < 0.5 seconds (from 5kV to 50V)
