Applications requiring static control (ESD) flooring range from labs and emergency 911 call centers to clean-rooms and data centers. The effectiveness of conductive and static dissipative tile will vary greatly depending on the application. Understanding the electrical specifications of ESD floors by themselves is not enough; the application must be properly matched with the specific type of floor covering.

In Controlled Environments Magazine, the leading contamination control resource for life sciences and microelectronics, we provide extensive advice about installing ESD flooring in operational cleanrooms. Issues ranging from out-gassing to the use of environmentally friendly adhesives are discussed. In Emergency Number Professional we cite an actual case study involving interrupted emergency 911 conversations due to static discharges in the call center. In Compliance Engineering, the hidden costs of ESD flooring ownership like maintenance and repair of ESD floors are investigated.

Our latest article from the March 2008 issue of The Data Center Journal, debunks myths advocating ineffective flooring options like antistatic laminate (HPL) and static dissipative SDT tile in server rooms, telecom areas and data centers.

Options for Installing ESD Flooring in an Operational Cleanroom Removing old floor...MANY FACILITY PLANNERS, concerned about contamination or potential scheduling delays, once dismissed the thought of installing electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe tile in operational clean spaces.
Managing Static The Invisible Threat To Data Centers and Mission Critical Operations Why is static a greater threat today? Microcircuits inside electronic equipment perceive a static discharge as an overwhelming burst of energy. Older, more rugged components, though still prone to ESD failure, contained special microcircuit gate protectors, capable of diverting the random charge away from the heart of the device.
