Technical Information and Testing

Static-sensitive device

ESD 101

Do you know why electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages electronic components? Read easy-to-follow technical details on static electricity and find out how ESD flooring works.

System Resistance to Ground

Electrical Resistance

Find out why conductivity and electrical resistance matter when you choose an ESD floor. Learn industry standards for resistance, and why to avoid overly conductive flooring.

Walking Body Voltage test

Walking Body Voltage

If a conductive floor doesn’t keep static from building as people walk, it won’t prevent ESD events. Learn technical aspects of charge generation, aka walking body voltage.

Installation and Maintenance

Conductive Adhesive

Conductive Adhesive

Conductive adhesive forms a ground plane electrically unifying ESD tiles. Learn how conductive adhesive works and why the adhesive must be more conductive than the floor.

Glue-Free Installations

In some spaces, conductive adhesive is not the best way to adhere and ground a static-free floor. Find alternate solutions and learn important performance parameters.

Electronics Handling Facility

Installing an ESD Floor

Any competent contractor can install an ESD floor, but certain protocols must be followed. Learn how to ground an ESD floor and avoid issues that cause installations to fail.
