Are you looking for a flooring solution that deals with static build-up? Then you’ll need to understand the difference between anti-static and electrostatic discharge (ESD) flooring. A build-up of static electricity occurs when a non-conductive object rubs against another non-conductive object. Both anti-static flooring and ESD flooring can be solutions to this problem in the […]
Many electronic devices are sensitive to static, which can damage their internal components and lead to costly failures. Electronics manufacturers use electrostatic discharge (ESD flooring) to protect components from static electricity. ESD flooring is essential to many businesses in the electronics manufacturing industry, impacting device reliability and reducing returns and warranties. In turn limiting finacial […]
The packaging industry used the terms “static dissipative” and “conductive” to categorise materials based on their ability to shield components from electrostatic damage. The Electronics Component Industry Association originally declared that conductive materials offer better shielding than static-dissipative materials. Official ESD standards and test methods were developed as studies realised the impact of humidity, different […]
