What is antistatic flooring?
Reduced static electricity generation during contact
Reduced static electricity generation during contact and separation with other materials is called antistatic.
Installing antistatic flooring is an important first step in ensuring safety by grounding and discharging the electrical charge of employees and visitors, preventing ESD build-up and grounding the electrical charge.
Antistatic floors can be electrostatically conductive or static dissipative.
What is a conductive floor?
25,000 (2.5e) to 1 million (1e) Ω
A conductive floor floor has a ground resistance of less than
1.0 x 10 to the power of 6 ohms and is intended to dissipate, conduct, remove, or ground excess static electricity from people, furniture, carts, or other equipment.

What is an ESD Floor?
1 million (1e) to 1 billion (1e) Ω
The electrostatic discharge floor has a ground resistance of less than 1 x 10 to the power of 9 Ω and 1 x 10 to the power of 6 Ω and is also used to mitigate electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Choice of ESD or CD floor
ANSI/ESD S 20.20
This standard covers the requirements for the design, establishment, and implementation of an electrostatic discharge management system for electrical or electronic components as well as equipment susceptible to damage by human model (HBM) electrostatic voltages greater than or equal to 100 volts in assembly or facility assembly, installation, packaging, labeling, servicing, testing, and inspection processes. This standard is also consistent with IEC 61340-5.
