1. Wearwell Natural Rubber 788 Modular Diamond-Plate Conductive ESD Mat, for Electronic and High-Voltage Apparatus , 3' Width x 3' Length x 1/2" Thickness, Black
Feature
Natural RubberIdeal for dry areas at risk for damage from static electricity
Modular and unique configurations
Green rating greater than 33 percent post industrial material
1 year warranty
Description
Ideal for areas where static discharge is a problem from microprocessor assembly to general manufacturing areas. The modular 3 feet x 3 feet size is great for single workstations, but quickly connects to cover very large areas. Designed for comfort, they are also light weight, easy to clean, and have rounded edges so additional bevels are not necessary. Rtg 1 x 104 to 8 x 106 ohms. This mat must be grounded and employees must either wear heel grounders or conductive shoes.2.
