Conductive rubber (\u0026lt;10⁵ Ω) discharges rapidly, which can damage sensitive MOS\/CMOS components and poses shock risk.

Without an earth connection, the mat cannot dissipate static charge. Connect to building earth via a 1MΩ limiting resistor.

When properly grounded and combined with wrist straps, heel grounders, and ionisation where needed, our anti-static rubber meets EN 61340-5-1 requirements for EPA floor covering.
