Who Needs ESD Flooring?

List of ESD Flooring Applications

The types of businesses that need and use static-control floors are as varied today as the electronic components that ESD flooring protects. An IT or server room, for instance, may be located in a shared office building, an urban opera house or a remote communications building in the Denali National Park (a StaticWorx customer).

Essentially, any business that makes, services, or uses electronic components or whose core function relies on complex electronic equipment most likely needs ESD flooring (also known as antistatic flooring or static-control flooring). This includes electronics manufacturers, SMT facilities, critical call centers, public safety dispatch, banks, utilities, media, flight control towers, Sensitive Compartment Information Facilities (SCIFs) and military operations. We’ve even supplied ESD flooring to a popular indie rock star to prevent electrical interference during her concert.

While standards are industry-specific, even within industries every application is unique, with its own variables and parameters. An electronics manufacturing facility that uses heavy carts to transport parts will require different flooring than a facility whose primary objectives are static prevention, comfort and noise attenuation. When you work with StaticWorx, we’ll help you match flooring to your goals and objectives and help you resolve any issues that arise along the way.

Here is a list of some of the applications requiring ESD floors.
