Do ESD tiles need to touch in order to be grounded?
Electrical bonding between ESD floor tiles is achieved from the conductive adhesive and not as a result of individual tile to tile contact. The adhesives used in conductive installations is highly conductive and provides excellent continuity across the entire floor. Conductive adhesives take the place of so-called copper grounding grids beneath the floor. The conductive adhesive must be attached to some form of ground to meet relevant specifications.
