Non Conductive Flooring

From the floor tiles static charges move to and across the underlying ground plane conductive adhesive or underlayment to copper strips placed at the perimeter of the room.

Non conductive flooring. All the benefits of a gti tile fast track renovation solution evercare treated smooth surface easy maintenance electro conductive properties. Esd electro static discharge flooring encompasses both the conductive and dissipative range. To predict how efficiently how quickly or slowly an esd floor will ground static charges we measure the electrical resistance of the flooring material using an ohm meter. Non conductive rubber flooring insulative switchboard mats.

Each is specified for certain industrial applications. Marmoleum ohmex is a conductive floor covering that meets higher requirements for electrical conductivity. Most commonly called switchboard matting our non conductive mats insulate workers protecting them from deadly shocks generated by high voltage equipment. The conductive elements in a properly performing esd floor draw static away from a charged person or object and through the thickness of the flooring material.

The exclusive four part system comprised of tile adhesive copper grounding strips and polish works together to dissipate electrostatic charges protecting people and preventing damage to. These mats are tested and proven to have a high dielectric strength. A build up of static electricity occurs when a non conductive object rubs against another non conductive object. Conductive flooring non directional design tvoc after 28 days 10µg m3.

The floor s conductive or dissipative properties are responsible for the first criterion. They are often used as localized workstation mats. Conductive flooring technical design tvoc after 28 days 10µg m3. Both anti static flooring and esd flooring are solutions to this problem in the workplace but in order to determine whether you need esd or anti static you need to understand your environment and requirements.

Non conductive or insulative mats and floor runners also known as switchboard mats use insulative materials that prohibit the flow of electricity and prevent deadly shocks. However the maximum recommended voltage exposure is much less to provide a large margin of safety. Both conductive and dissipative flooring are classified as anti static. Electrical resistance is improved to 1 10 8 ω en1081 ensuring personal safety and protecting equipment that is sensitive to static electricity.

Excelon sdt static dissipative tile is a complete flooring solution designed to control static in most non explosive manufacturing and working areas. Ideal for computer rooms server rooms and areas with sensitive equipment. The electrical range for conductive flooring is 25 000 ohms to 1 million ohms while dissipative or. Conductivity and electrical resistance.
