SCS Blue Table ESD-Safe Mat, 0.9m x 0.6m x 3.4mm

This is a 3 layer vinyl worksurface mat that provides great electrical properties. These mats come with a ground cord and are designed to help prevent damage to ESD sensitive items and assemblies from electrostatic discharge.

First layer – easy to clean dissipative vinyl
Middle layer – highly conductive metal scrim (moves the charge from the surface to ground)
Bottom layer – durable, non-skid dissipative foam

Includes:
1 x Table mat
4.6m (15 inch) low profile common ground cord
2 x female 3/8-inch snaps

Anti-static matting should be laid out in the workshops or advanced laboratories for microelectronic industries such as electronic semi-conduct devices, electronic computers, electronic communication equipment and integrated circuits.

Why is it important to be ESD safe?

ESD safe mats help to create an ESD protected area (EPA). This is a defined space where all surfaces, objects, people and ESD Sensitive Devices (ESDs) are kept at the same electrical potential. This is achieved by using anti-static materials such as rubber. The mats can be used on your worktop bench or the floor. You can also use ESD safe gloves and ESD safe footwear to ensure optimum personal grounding and protection. It's important to create an EPA because electrostatic discharge can cause safety issues and damage your electrical components.

Entrance Mats, Tapes and Accessories

Due to the high human traffic in public entrance ways, there are several health and safety implications to be aware of. As such, effectively graded tapes, matts and accessories are essential.

Entrance mats can save up to 70% of all dirt and debris from being carried inside a building. They help to protect the interior floor coverings from damage for a longer life span. Water and moisture are efficiently absorbed reducing slip hazards. Entrance mats are a simple, economic measure to reduce cleaning and maintenance, both in terms of time and cost. They also improve the aesthetic appearance of a reception area.,The correct quality of matting in the workplace will help eliminate the risk of slips and falls, insulate against electricity, deaden sound, trap and hold dirt and moisture from spreading, resist chemicals, grease, oils and flames, and reduce worker fatigue and stress.
