Celebrating 40 Years In ESD - Trusted UK Supplier Of ESD Control Products Since 1986
Bondline supplies a complete range of ESD flooring materials designed to control static electricity in Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPAs). Our anti static flooring solutions help reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge, protect static-sensitive electronic components, and support compliance with IEC 61340-5-1 standards.
From ESD floor tiles to static control floor matting, we offer flexible and permanent ESD flooring options suitable for electronics manufacturing, laboratories, cleanrooms, medical environments, and industrial facilities.
If you’re unsure which flooring material is right for your application, our experienced team can provide expert guidance and project support.
Anti static and ESD flooring solutions are a critical part of any static control programme. They prevent the build-up of static charge generated by foot traffic, equipment movement, and workplace activity.
Bondline’s static control flooring solutions include:
These solutions provide reliable grounding, durability, and long-term performance across a wide range of environments.
An ESD floor is a grounded flooring system designed to safely dissipate static electricity to Earth. Unlike standard flooring, ESD flooring delivers consistent, long-term protection because it is electrically bonded to ground.
Typical grounding resistance for ESD flooring is below 1.0 × 10⁶ ohms, allowing static charge from people, furniture, trolleys, and equipment to be safely conducted away before it can cause damage.
An ESD floor forms the foundation of an effective static control system, protecting both operators and static-sensitive electronic components throughout your facility.
Anti static flooring material suppresses the generation of static electricity rather than actively grounding it. These floors typically operate within a resistance range of 10⁹ to 10¹¹ ohms, meaning the surface itself does not generate static charge.
However, anti static flooring alone does not fully dissipate existing charge in the body. For many applications, static dissipative or conductive ESD flooring solutions are more suitable.
In practice, the term “anti static flooring” is often used when ESD flooring is actually required. Bondline helps clarify these differences so you choose the correct solution for your environment.
Static dissipative flooring offers controlled discharge of static electricity, with resistance values between 10⁷ and 10⁹ ohms. Commonly made from vinyl, rubber, or carpet materials, it is widely used where controlled grounding is essential but conductive flooring is not appropriate.
This makes it a popular option for mission-critical environments such as control rooms, laboratories, and electronics assembly areas.
ESD flooring systems create a continuous, traceable path to ground. Conductive fibres or materials within the floor channel static electricity through conductive adhesives and copper grounding strips, safely directing charge to Earth.
As operators walk across the floor, static is dissipated at a controlled rate, preventing sudden discharge events that could damage components or equipment.
Bondline supplies a range of ESD flooring materials to suit different environments and traffic levels:
Each material offers different performance characteristics, and selection should be based on usage, environment, and compliance requirements.
When selecting ESD flooring options, consider:
Bondline provides site surveys and expert advice to ensure your static control flooring solution meets both operational and compliance needs.
ESD flooring can be installed professionally or as a self-install solution, depending on the product type. Interlocking ESD floor tiles offer flexibility for temporary or leased spaces, while permanent flooring provides long-term performance.
Bondline offers a full supply, delivery, and installation service across the UK, including grounding, testing, and certification.
Correct cleaning is essential to maintain the performance of anti static flooring materials. Only ESD-safe cleaning products with neutral pH should be used, as standard cleaners can increase static generation.
Regular maintenance, combined with ESD footwear and proper cleaning routines, significantly extends the lifespan of your ESD floor.
Whether you need a small workstation mat or a full facility-wide flooring system, Bondline delivers reliable ESD flooring solutions tailored to your application.
1. What is the difference between ESD flooring and anti static flooring?
ESD flooring is grounded and actively dissipates static electricity, while anti static flooring only reduces static generation and does not fully discharge existing static.
2. Which ESD flooring material is best for electronics manufacturing?
This depends on traffic, equipment load, and compliance needs. Rubber and vinyl ESD flooring are commonly used due to durability and consistent static control.
3. Do ESD floors require regular testing?
Yes. To remain compliant with IEC 61340-5-1, ESD floors should be tested periodically to confirm resistance and grounding performance.
Selecting the right ESD flooring solution depends on your environment, traffic levels, compliance requirements, and long-term performance needs. Whether you’re fitting out a new Electrostatic Protected Area or upgrading an existing floor, Bondline can help you choose the most suitable anti static flooring material for your application.
We offer expert advice, site surveys, installation, grounding, testing, and ongoing support to ensure your flooring meets IEC 61340-5-1 requirements and protects your static-sensitive electronic components.
