Electrical Static Dissipative Anti-Fatigue Mats

Static Dissipative Mat Options

Static electricity might be funny when you’re rubbing your feet on the carpet and touching and shocking your friends – the computers at work don’t think it’s funny, though. You could fry electrical components on these devices with static. Don’t spend any more time worrying about whether static electricity could ruin your business’s delicate technology.

Instead, trust static dissipative mat options from Greatmats to eliminate the static electricity as people walk across the floor. ESD mats are easy to install, and they even provide some anti-fatigue capabilities when employees must stand and work for long periods of the day.

Electrostatic Discharge Mat Types and Sizes

We offer a few different formats and flooring sizes in our electrostatic discharge mats.

• Interlocking Tiles: To create a specific coverage size, consider our PVC plastic Wearwell ErgoDeck ESD 18x18-inch tiles.
  
• Small Mats: We have several ESD mats made for an individual workstation or desk at 2x3 or 3x5 feet.
  
• Rolls: To cover a large area in a room or along an assembly line, we offer rolls that are a few feet in width and as much as 75 feet in length.

Static Dissipative Mat Materials

Most of our static dissipative mats and rolls consist of vinyl, but we do have some other options.

Vinyl Runners

Vinyl is a durable option for an ESD roll of flooring while weighing quite a bit less than other models. We have several vinyl runners that offer ESD protection, including:

• Conductive Diamond Industrial Runner: 3x75 and 4x75 feet
  
• LonMat UV Commercial Vinyl Rolls: 3x75 and 6x30 feet
  
• LonMat XL Commercial Vinyl Rolls: 8x40 feet
  
• Switchboard Corrugated Industrial Runner: 2x75, 3x75, and 4x75 feet

Rubber

Rubber mats are extremely durable, and many carry multi-year manufacturer warranties. The best option for most people is the SkyStep ESD Rubber Anti-Fatigue Mat, which is 5/8 of an inch in thickness and has coverage sizes of 2x3, 3x4, and 3x5 feet.

Rubber and Foam

Some of the best static dissipative rubber flooring will have a foam layer, too, which provides anti-fatigue benefits. Our rubber-foam blended products include:

• Apachestat Soft Foot Static Dissipative Mat: 2x3, 2x60, 3x5, and 3x60 feet
  
• Hog Heaven Anti-Fatigue Indoor Mat: 33x58 inches with 5/8-inch thickness and 33x142 inches with 7/8-inch thickness

Vinyl-Bonded Foam

Vinyl-bonded foam includes both the static-prevention benefits of ESD mats and the cushioning benefits of a foam backing layer. Our top product is the Conductive Diamond Foot mat and roll, which has options measuring 2x3, 3x5, 3x10, 3x75, and 4x75 feet.

PVC Plastic

The PVC plastic Wearwell ErgoDeck ESD Tiles are sold in cases of 10, providing 22.5 square feet of coverage per case. They offer a blend of cushioning and durability.

Electrostatic Discharge Mat Features and Benefits

Some of the key features and benefits of our electrostatic discharge mats include:

• Easy dry-lay installation

Static Dissipative Mat Q&A

What is ESD matting, and how does it work?

ESD floor mat products provide protection against inadvertent static electricity discharge. If you have sensitive equipment, an ESD static dissipative mat could protect it from a dangerous transfer of static electricity. How does static dissipative rubber flooring work? Static dissipative floor mats use a multi-layer construction with a top layer that safely discharges any static electricity.

What is an ESD, or electrostatic discharge, mat made of?

A static dissipative floor mat usually consists of multiple layers that dissipate any electrical discharge before it causes electrical damage to equipment. The most common materials are rubber and vinyl (or PVC or foam) in the mats. Static dissipative rubber flooring rolls can sometimes survive chemical spills, abrasions, or wide temperature swings.

What is anti-static flooring?

Anti-static flooring dissipates an electric shock from static electricity through the floor, rather than passing it to delicate equipment used for work. Some models are anti-static anti-fatigue mats, which provide a more comfortable type of static-proof flooring by mimicking some of the benefits of cushioned foam flooring without sacrificing their ESD capabilities.

Where would you use an anti-static mat?

The best places to use non-conductive floor mats are in computer repair shops, manufacturing lines using sensitive electrical equipment, commercial facilities making microchips or similar sensitive items, medical offices, operating rooms, and computer server rooms.
