Mission Critical ESD Flooring Applications

The Nightmare ESD Scenario

QUICK FACT: Julie has installed carpet in mission critical facilities around the US, including 911 centers, police stations, fire stations, prisons, flight control towers and government and military critical command centers.

You manage an operation in a networked environment. One day, without warning, your system crashes, the result of a random static discharge. When the computers are finally operational again, you discover your data is gone.

How Did This Happen?
Your office was furnished with Computer-grade "Low kV" antistatic carpet, which you were told suppresses static. But suppressing static is not enough. Modern technology is susceptible to damage and failure by charges of less than 1000 Volts, a charge you wouldn't even feel. Everyday occurrences, like a person walking across the floor or sliding out of a chair generate anywhere from 1,500 to 35,000 volts. More than enough static electricity to damage electronic components. As computer technology advances, and components become more compact, they are increasingly sensitive to ESD events. To protect today's high speed computer equipment, static charges must be removed.

Static Protection Far Superior to Commercial-grade "Anti-Static" Carpet StaticSmart ESD Carpet, the recommended solution for data storage and communications centers, is far superior to commercial "anti-static" carpeting. "Antistatic" or low kV carpeting may reduce static build-up, but does not conduct the static charge to ground. Furthermore, the backings of commercial "anti-static" carpeting act as insulators, blocking dissipation of the charge and negating the careful engineering of your access floors. How ESD Carpet Works The StaticSmart ESD Carpet system absorbs static electricity and passes the charge from the surface through the conductive backing and adhesive to the flooring sub-system to ground. As added insurance, the system includes the StaticSmart Connector, a copper foil clamp attached to the understructure at intervals, providing a uniform potential to ground throughout the installation.
