What’s the static with cleanroom flooring
As a technical flooring expert, we view education as integral part of the purchase process. So, in addition to making a recommendation for a flooring product, we give our customers the why. For example, what do anti-static products do and how is that different from a static control product as it pertains to cleanrooms?
In a nutshell, products that promote themselves as anti static are intended to prevent individuals from being shocked, not your sensitive equipment.
On the flip side, static control flooring protects environments that are sensitive to interference and damage from electrostatic discharge.
In clean rooms controlling particles in the air is critical. By generally reducing static charges in the environment with static control flooring, electrostatic attraction is reduced making it easier to keep the cleanroom clean. In addition, the lower levels of static charge provided by the ESD flooring provides a layer of protection for sensitive electronic equipment in the cleanroom.
