How anti static mats work

The function of an anti static mat is to regularly dissipate electrostatic discharge between objects. If the current was allowed to build up instead, it would be discharged suddenly as an uncharged object met a charged one, creating a spark, shock or even explosion. Anti static mats are different from electrical safety mats in that they allow the current to pass through, rather than blocking it altogether.

Anti static mat grounding for equipment and people

Although protecting people from static electricity is the priority, many businesses have expensive machinery that also needs protection. Static build-up pulls dust into tiny spaces in machinery, dirtying them and causing them to overheat or fail. Even low-cost equipment can be damaged by static electricity, as it causes it to stick together, attract dust or otherwise malfunction.
