Esd Green Table Mat

Delight India is the manufacturers and suppliers of the Esd mats.


If your employees regularly handle electronic products that are sensitive to damage from static electricity, then its likely your business should be using Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) matting. Many electronics standards insist on static control, such EN61340-5-1 (or ANSI S4.1 S20:20 in the US).

Being such a critical, yet also simple, part of your working environment, its easy for ESD matting to go overlooked. Thats why weve put together this helpful guide.

The basics of ESD matting
The essential thing to know about ESD matting is that it shields equipment from static electricity discharges. ESD mats mainly sit on worktops in work areas where charges can build up. ESD matting generally has two main components, a static dissipative top layer and a conductive bottom layer. An ESD mat offers a simple path to ground for the static electricity.

Without an ESD mat, electronic equipment can be at risk from static discharges. As little as 5v static discharge can damage some electronic components. With ESD mats used alongside other measures like anti-static tools, clothing, footwear, flooring and packaging, as well as grounding straps you are protecting your products and processed from unseen damage from static discharges.

Where would you typically use ESD matting?
Weve mentioned floors and worktops above, but it pays to be more specific.

Youd often see ESD matting used in workspaces like:

Computer server rooms
Assembly lines
ESD Protected Areas (EPAs)
Microchip manufacturing plants
Electronics Manufacturing
Clean rooms
And more besides
Its also worth mentioning that even areas that may occasionally encounter static might benefit from ESD mats.



For instance, electronic devices boxed up in protective packaging may still need to be stored in warehouses and storage areas. ESD matting is often placed on the storage shelves to add an additional layer of protection from static generated by the stacking process.
