content: We have some leftover rolls of antistatic matting from a job lot. I've installed these at both work and home labs and very happy with them. They are heat resistant to at least 350°C (tested with soldering iron) and are double layer not the cheaper PVC type.Measurements:Bottom layer 50-100kTop Layer 1-2 Nanosiemens conductance.(Measured with Fluke 87, probes at 1cm readings vary depending on how hard you press probes)Manufacturer is Aidacom and part number is "EP1003-1/2".Pricing & Shipping1m *10m Roll £195.00 + 20% VAT = £235.00 (full UK VAT invoice supplied)UK/IRE Shipping £18.00EU Shipping can be arranged at cost depending on delivery address. (roll weights 34Kg so estimate £40-£65 net using DPD for most EU locations)Edit -2 Rolls Left.1 Roll Left

content: Can you confirm that these are rubber mats?Do they roll nicely flat or keep curling?350C seems to indicate rubber.Interesting that the bottom layer has only 1..2nS conductance.This probably mans that both layers are dissipative.Vermason mats I use have 200uS or 5kohm at about 1cm distance on the bottom, conductive layer.I've never used fully dissipative mats... do you need to ground these somehow differently due to such low conductance?Does someone know what I should keep in mind using only dissipative solution?I plan to install second row of benches in the lab and could use some good mats.The Vermason mats are very expensive though so I might consider an alternative.K

content: Quote from: k4rlhp on April 25, 2016, 03:54:47 pmYes these are rubber not PVC. They roll flat as they are both heavy and flacid, I used standard double side tape just at the edge of benches so that it wouldnt get snagged when brushed against.Quote from: k4rlhp on April 25, 2016, 03:54:47 pmI will double check those readings when I'm back from a trip tomorrow. The readings vary with probe pressure but that's to be expected. I took those readings with the earth disconnected just between the multimeter probes.
