What is the difference between static-dissipative and electrically conductive anti-fatigue mats?
A. Static-dissipative and electrically conductive matting both conduct a charge when grounded. The difference between the two is defined by the materials’ resistance, which affects the speed of the discharge. The lower the resistance, the quicker the discharge. A conductive material has a surface resistivity of less than 1 x 105 ohms per square. Dissipative materials have a surface resistivity of 1 x 106 to 1 x 1012 ohms per square.
