Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about ESD Matting | Anti-Static Floor & Chair Mats

What is ESD matting used for?

ESD matting is designed to safely discharge static electricity, protecting sensitive electronic components and equipment. It’s an essential safety feature in electronics manufacturing, repair, and assembly areas.

Is ESD matting suitable for use with chairs or trolleys?

Yes, many ESD mats are built to withstand wheeled equipment and furniture. They help maintain grounding performance even in dynamic workspaces, provided appropriate grounding accessories are used.

Do your ESD mats meet industry safety standards?

Our ESD mats are manufactured to comply with relevant IEC and ANSI standards for electrostatic discharge protection, ensuring safe use in professional environments where static control is critical.

How do I clean and maintain ESD matting?

Clean ESD mats with a mild, alcohol-free cleaning solution or an ESD-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as these can degrade the mat’s surface and static-dissipative properties.

ESD matting for static-safe floors and workstations

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive components in technical environments — from electronics labs to manufacturing lines. ESD matting helps reduce this risk by safely grounding static buildup from shoes, chairs and tools. AJ Products UK offers a selection of rubber and PVC ESD matting options, available in a range of set sizes to suit benches, flooring and specialist work zones. As part of our broader industrial floor mats range, each product is built for long hours of use, with slip resistance, grounding cords and a 7-year warranty as standard.

Anti-static floor and chair mats to protect electronics and staff

Static can build up from routine movement — especially in high-use areas with chairs or trolleys. That’s why our ESD floor mats and chair mats are designed to dissipate charge safely while supporting ergonomic comfort. Several designs also offer anti-fatigue properties, ideal for employees who stand for extended periods. Made from durable rubber or PVC with a conductive layer, these mats provide both static control and lasting support. For additional coverage in production areas, you can pair these mats with work mats to maintain safe footing across your facility.

ESD mats in rubber and PVC to suit technical workspaces

On workbenches and repair tables, ESD bench mats help prevent static damage during delicate tasks. Each mat includes a built-in conductive layer to draw charge away from tools and components when correctly grounded. Our bench mats come in a choice of materials — rubber for long-lasting durability, or PVC for easier wipe-down maintenance. Sizes vary by product, so customers can choose the best fit for their workstation setup. If your space includes humid or spill-prone zones, combine bench mats with wet area mats to ensure grip and cleanliness are maintained.

Built to last — and made to work harder

All ESD mats from AJ Products UK are designed with long-term use in mind. Whether you need floor or bench protection, each product is backed by a 7-year warranty and meets industrial-grade static dissipation standards. Many include bevelled edges for safety, non-slip bases, and easy-clean surfaces that stand up to chemicals, tools and daily wear. This makes them reliable, especially in shared-use technical spaces or busy production zones where safety and durability go hand in hand.
