Hundreds of companies of ESD material providers are in a lot of trouble thanks to their miserable materials. They have been sued all over the world because of their bad anti static mat. Tests indicated that the supportable anti static mats provided by those companies are not conductive materials for ESD applications.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is sudden electricity which follows two objects that have a different electrical potential caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field. The term is often used in electronics and other industries to describe unwanted currents that may cause damage to electronic equipment.

ESD is a serious problem in integrated circuits. Integrated circuits are composed of semiconductor and insulating materials such as silicon and silicon dioxide. Any of these materials can suffer permanent damage when exposed to high voltage and as a result there are now a number of anti-static devices that prevent accumulation of static energy.

Electrostatic discharge is defined as the charge transfer between objects at different electrical potential.
Electrostatic discharge can change the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device, destroying it or decay it. It can also reverse the normal operation of an electronic system, causing equipment malfunction or failure thereof. Electrostatic discharges can cause damage or malfunction of electronic equipment.

The need for reliable flooring will be particularly important in places where sophisticated electronics are used to protect life, perform secure transactions, protect our airspace or provide mission-critical services. In order to manufacture safely and dependably electronics, handle them or use them faster, more capable electronics, we will need floors that besides grounding out static charges, we need reliable ESD surfaces for flooring that can also prevent static events from occurring in the first place.
