I work for a chemical manufacturing facility that uses large quantities of organic solvents that destroy vinyl tile. Is there an ESD solution using ceramic tile?
Absolutely, our ZeroStat Diamond Seal XL will render your ceramic ESD safe, other wise you can choose a more chemical resistant solution like ESD Rubber or one of our ESD Urethane coatings.
I am considering installing ESD mats in an area where we are filling propane cylinders. This area is outside so it is subject to weather as well as wear and tear. I am looking for roughly a 5′ X 8′ area to be covered. So, I have a few questions. First, would my employees also need to wear a foot/shoe grounder as well? Secondly, what mat and or material would you recommend. Thirdly, what would be my cost.

We are in an electronic manufacturing industry. Q1. What’s the difference in usage between ESD(static free) chappals and shoes. Where to use which one.
Q2. Is it necessary to have human ground separated from ESD mat, machine ground etc
Q-1: ESD is static dissipative electrical range 10e06—10e09, most of our shoes test in this range. I am not familiar with chappals, can you advise? Q-2: Yes, there should be a common point ground in place where all grounding takes place at each workstation—the operator, the benchtop, the equipment. Earth ground or the building green wire ground, or an independently establishing earth ground point.
We are an electronic manufacturing industry. People working in the SMD area on P&P machines, reflow and wave soldering machines are always on the move, but handling PCB assemblies all the time. They cannot wear wrist straps, but wear ESD footwear Any better methods or suggestions from experts please.
The best solution for mobility within an EPA is the combination of ESD Footwear and an ESD Floor, even then I would recommend a Faraday solution for the components—ESD totes, bins, bags, etc. when moving your sensitive devices within the EPA.
We are an electrical contractor. Client – McDonald’s – has a static discharge issue when handing change out through drive through window to customer. Issue has just come to light after a recent re-pavement of asphalt for the store location. Any ideas as to why this would be a new condition with the re-paving ……. or just coincidence? Any ideas as to what can be done to correct the situation?
I don’t believe that is a connection between the new asphalt and the discharges, but an ESD Anti-fatigue mat for your drive through personnel would eliminate the zap they are getting, or sure.

Our UltraDuty II Rubber matting hold up on outdoor conditions well, the cost for an area this size will run about $5.00 per Sq.Ft.
Hi, i am Yoeira from Panama, we need to purchase 2 tanks of Ground ZeroStat DIamond Seal-XL

Do you have the SDS of G2-C2000 in Spanish?
Thanks

To truly prevent ESD, does one need an approved ESD flooring combined with ESD Shoes?
Yes to truly prevent yes. The floor returns the ground but you can make a static charge yourself so your shoes need to be grounded too.
