ESD surfaces and ESD protection zones

Electrostatic charges can cause considerable problems in many areas, especially in the electronics industry.
They can cause components or devices to malfunction.
To minimize such risks, it is crucial to take appropriate protective measures in ESD-sensitive areas.

ESD floor coverings and ESD table mats are an essential part of these measures.
These products are characterized by a low resistance value, which enables the rapid dissipation of electrostatic charges and thus reduces the risk of dangerous discharges.

ESD floor coverings can be made from various materials such as PVC, linoleum, rubber or carpet.
The selection of the right floor covering depends on the specific requirements of the respective area of application.

In addition to the floor coverings, ESD protection zones are of great importance.
These zones are separated from the rest of the area by suitable measures to ensure that only people and objects with a controlled resistance value have access.
ESD protection zones can be defined by floor markings, safety doors or other markings.

ESD cleaning agents

Regular cleaning of ESD floor coverings and surfaces is important to maintain protection against electrostatic discharge.
Care must be taken to ensure that the cleaning agents used are

The use of a special agent does not increase the resistance value of the surfaces.

Special ESD-certified cleaning agents are available for cleaning ESD floor coverings and other ESD-sensitive areas.
These cleaning agents are formulated in such a way that they do not affect the resistance value of the cleaned surfaces.
