How do ESD floors work?
ESD floors are made with conductive elements within the flooring system, such as pigments or carbon-filled primers, which lower the floor’s resistance. Electricity takes whichever path provides least resistance, so ESD floors take on static charges through the floor, which would otherwise have built up. The floor provides a pathway from the surface to a grounding layer of materials, releasing the current away from employees, sensitive machinery, and electronic items onsite.
