An ESD mat is a very important part of an ESD protected area.  ESD mats are designed to eliminate static on its surface and of objects placed upon it.   It does this by having a conductive material embedded within the mat that collects the static and sends it to ground(earth). This is usually accomplished by connecting the mat to ground with a ground. It’s important to discharge at a slow rate, therefore a resistor in the ground cord is recommended.

ESD mats are generally found in two categories:  Vinyl and Rubber.  ESD Vinyl mats are the most widely used material for table top or work surface applications. They are cost effective, easy to cut, and provide excellent static dissipation. ESD Rubber mats are used where high resistance to heat and chemicals is required.  The type of material is a primary concern if you will be using a constant monitor because some materials are incompatible with certain constant monitors.

All static control mats are not created equally.  The ESD mat’s long term electrical properties are tantamount to successfully controlling an ESD event. The terms Insulative, conductive, and dissipative are all terms that subdivide ESD materials based on their individual surface resistance. Surface resistance is a measurement of how easily an electric charge can travel across a medium. Conductive materials have a surface resistance of less than 1 x 10^5 ohms/square. Dissipative items have a surface resistance of more than 1 x 10^5 ohms/square but less than 1 x10^11 ohms/square. An Insulative material is one that has a surface resistance of greater than 1 x 10 12 ohms/square based upon your application, ESD mats should be in either the dissipative or conductive range. Something Insulative is not considered ESD safe.

Conclusion:

When choosing an ESD mat, first use your specific application to narrow your choices, such as mat material and electrical properties.  Carefully plan and budget your workstation and estimate wear and tear so that you can choose to purchase a full roll or a pre-cut mat.  Finally, do not let cost dictate your decision – saving a few dollars on low quality matting could have very costly consequences via catastrophic damage, latent failures and customer complaints.

C10 SERIES CLEAN ESD ARMOR

When used with conductive surfaces or ground planes, such as metal trays, carts, shelving, or stainless steel workbenches, the matting provides a protective ESD liner that is ideal for use in controlled environments such as cleanrooms. It is ultra-low outgassing, non-VOC, non-blooming and non-particle generating.
