What are the working principles of anti-static mats?
1.Grounding conductivity: Anti static mats are usually connected to the ground through conductive materials, with one end grounded through conductive materials. When an object has static charges on its surface, the conductive material on the mat will transfer the charges from the object to the ground, thereby avoiding the accumulation of static charges and electrostatic effects.
2.Absorption and dispersion of charges: The conductive material of the anti-static mat can absorb static charges and guide them into the ground through the conductive material. In addition, the conductive material on the mat will also exchange charges with the conductive substances on the surface of the object, dispersing the charges on the surface and reducing the concentration of charges.
3.Multi layer structure design: Conventional anti-static mats generally have a two-layer structure, with the surface layer being an electrostatic dissipation layer and the bottom layer being a conductive layer. The surface layer is responsible for absorbing and storing static electricity, while the bottom layer quickly releases the absorbed static electricity and guides it to the ground through a grounding wire.
4.Application of special materials: A certain proportion of conductive fibers or other conductive substances are usually added to anti-static mats to improve their conductivity. These materials can effectively absorb and release static electricity.
Application scenarios: Anti static mats are widely used in production workshops and laboratories in the microelectronics industry, such as electronic semiconductor devices, electronic computers, electronic communication equipment, and integrated circuits. They are used to lay tabletops, assembly line work surfaces, shelves, and make floor mats to eliminate static electricity generated by operators, electronic components, etc., and protect static sensitive devices from interference caused by electrostatic discharge phenomena.
