ESD Flooring
Grounded technology for static safe workspaces
- An Antistatic / ESD Flooring system serves as a conduit for electrical static charge (known as BVG or Body Voltage Generation accumulation on a person from movement across a polymer floor) to discharge to a desired controlled ground point.
- This directed and intentional flow of electrical current and discharge, which can damage sensitive electronic components during manufacture.
- Evan the smallest, and usually un-noticed, ESD discharge can have adverse effects on sensitive electronic components.
- With today's smaller and more electrostatically-sensitive microchip components and printed circuited boards (PCB's), manufacturers have been tasked with developing ESD-control and prevention programs to limit component failure and scrap rates as part of their quality control and manufacturing processes.
