Close to 80% of static control floors are incorrectly specified. There are several reasons this occurs. For example, many specifiers don't realize that most static control flooring materials can not eliminate static unless the person walking on the floor is wearing static control footwear. In other words, many of these floors - ESD vinyl tile in particular - will not prevent static on a person wearing ordinary footwear. With regular footwear ESD vinyl is actually a static generator. Research has shown that the only ESD floors that will inhibit static on all footwear are either static dissipative (SD) carpet or ESD rubber. A second specification problem involves the choice of the correct ohms resistance range for critical environment applications. The correct ohms range for floors installed in critical environments like computer rooms, 911 call centers, FAA flight towers spans from 1 million ohms to 1 billion ohms. One of the reasons for this recommended range is to protect people from exposure to excessive electrical current in the unlikely event of a stray voltage short circuit from energized equipment. This is a significant concern because electrical engineering studies have documented that materials like conductive carpet (as opposed to SD) are capable of passing electrical currents amounting to four times the OSHA limit that could electrocute a human being. One study measured 50 milliamps of current passing through a conductive carpet tile. the same study measured only .1 milliamps of current passing through an SD carpet tile.

Most important takeaway: If you need to prevent static problems with flooring in a critical environment use SD not conductive flooring.

GroundSafe® ESD Flooring by StaticWorx

StaticWorx attractive, high-performance static-control floors protect sensitive electronics and electronic components from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Most specifiers and buyers don't realize that electrical and ESD standards differ by industry. And many are unaware of the ways that flooring materials interact with the workplace environment. As a result, they choose the wrong ESD floor, one that fails in their environment or application.

With years of experience and our lengthy publishing history, StaticWorx leads the industry in technical know-how. Our technical sales and service reps work with each client, providing the objective, research-based evidence necessary to make an informed decision. We don’t just sell floors. We tailor ESD flooring solutions that meet each client's specific goals and objectives.

Whether you’re an architect, looking for specifications; a large or small flooring contractor; a facilities manager for an electronics manufacturing or handling facility; or with a government office – like the FAA or Department of Homeland Security, a university, cleanroom or university lab, film or TV studio, call center, police department, or 9-1-1 dispatch operation – StaticWorx can help.
