ESD safe mats are designed to help prevent damage to sensitive items and assemblies from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). These grey mats from RS PRO are a must-have for any EPA (ESD protected area) cleanroom as the mats drain static charge, ground the electronic item, and protect surfaces from wear.


The ESD-safe mats are made from anti-static and static-dissipative materials with synthetic rubber. Their 3 mm thick triple-layer construction ensures maximum safety and durability. All bench mats come with 10 mm studs in each corner for easy on-site installation. They conform to ESD S20.20 and EN 61340-5-1 ESD, which is the recognised international standard for EPAs.

Anti-static mats are commonly used on benches and floors of workshops or advanced laboratories for the protection of personnel and equipment. They are typically found in microelectronic industries, such as in the handling of electronic semiconductor devices, 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.
