ESD and Conductive Floors
We’ve all experienced a minor electric shock or discharge of static electricity when touching a door handle or metal object after walking across a carpeted floor. At worst, these electric discharges are annoying or perhaps mildly painful, but what if you’re handling delicate electronic equipment that is sensitive to electrical events?
Facilities across a wide range of industries can be affected by static electricity, from minor shocks to serious risks for sensitive equipment or materials. ESD and conductive floor coatings provide a reliable solution by controlling static discharge, protecting both personnel and critical assets.
What Is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Flooring?
Electrostatic discharge flooring, also known as ESD flooring, works like a grounding rod. It is conductive at the level appropriate for allowing static electricity to safely flow through it and reach a grounding point, where the charge is then removed from the room. ESD flooring systems improve safety by allowing for the continual discharge and dissipation of a certain level of electric energy in a given space.
