FAQ: How does static-dissipative flooring work?
Static-dissipative flooring works by providing a conductive path to ground. A static-dissipative floor draws static charges away from people and moving objects, transports charges through the thickness of the flooring material to ground. Static-dissipative floors receive their conductivity from embedded conductive elements, such as carbon particles, which are added to the base flooring material in the manufacturing process.
