Celebrating 40 Years In ESD - Trusted UK Supplier Of ESD Control Products Since 1986
Anti static mats are a core component of effective ESD control within any ESD Protected Area (EPA). ESD mats (electrostatic discharge mats) are specialised surfaces designed to safely dissipate static electricity and protect static sensitive electronic components from damage. They create a controlled path to ground, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge in environments such as electronics manufacturing, repair workstations, and laboratories.
At Bondline, we supply a wide range of anti static mats, ESD workbench mats and ESD floor mats designed to safely dissipate electrostatic charge and protect static-sensitive electronic components. Our ESD matting solutions are trusted across electronics manufacturing, assembly lines, and laboratories. Available in multiple sizes, materials and resistance ranges, our mats can also be customised to suit specific workstation or floor requirements. All Bondline ESD mats are RoHS and REACH compliant and meet IEC 61340-5-1 ESD standards.

Anti static mats are used across a wide range of ESD applications, from electronics assembly benches to production floors, helping control static electricity and protect static sensitive electronic components.
Bondline offers a comprehensive selection of ESD workbench mats and anti static floor mats to suit different applications, environments, and budgets, including:
Each mat is designed to integrate seamlessly with wider ESD control measures such as wrist straps, grounding cords and earth bonding points, creating a complete static control system within an ESD Protected Area (EPA). This ensures effective grounding and consistent electrostatic discharge protection across your workspace.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be generated by floors, work surfaces, chairs, packaging, and even normal human movement. When uncontrolled, static electricity can damage static sensitive electronic components, leading to costly failures, reduced product reliability, and rework.
An ESD mat provides a controlled path to ground, allowing electrostatic charge to dissipate safely at a regulated rate. This prevents sudden discharge events that could damage components or disrupt operations.
In an ESD Protected Area (EPA), controlling static is essential. ESD workbench mats and floor mats help maintain a stable environment by grounding personnel, tools, and equipment, making them a critical part of any ESD control plan.
Bondline ESD matting is engineered with:
ESD workbench mats are designed for static control on work surfaces during assembly and repair tasks, while ESD floor mats are built for grounding personnel and equipment in areas with foot traffic. Both help prevent electrostatic discharge, but are used in different parts of an ESD Protected Area (EPA).
ESD workbench mats are designed for hand assembly and inspection tasks. They are typically thinner, flexible, and available in smooth or lightly textured finishes to reduce glare and improve visibility of small components.
These mats are commonly used alongside:
Best for: electronics assembly, repair benches, inspection stations.
ESD floor mats are thicker and more durable to withstand foot traffic and equipment movement. Many include anti-fatigue cushioning, improving operator comfort during long periods of standing.
For full protection, ESD floor mats should always be used with ESD footwear or heel straps to ensure effective grounding while moving around the EPA.
Best for: production lines, EPAs, laboratories, and cleanrooms.
Bondline supplies ESD mats in a range of materials, each offering different performance benefits depending on the application, environment, and durability requirements.
ESD mats are typically made from vinyl, rubber, or multi-layer materials that provide controlled static dissipation and reliable grounding. Each material offers different levels of durability, resistance, and performance.
Cost-effective and easy to cut, vinyl ESD mats are ideal for general-purpose workbench use. They offer good static control and are commonly used in electronics assembly environments.
Rubber ESD mats provide excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and solder, making them suitable for demanding applications such as soldering stations and industrial environments.
Multi-layer ESD mats combine a static-dissipative top layer with a conductive backing layer, ensuring enhanced grounding performance. Some options also include cushioning for improved comfort during extended use.
Choosing the right material depends on your application, environment, and durability needs. Our technical team can help you select the best option.
Anti static mats are widely used in environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) presents a risk to static sensitive equipment, components, or safety.
Anti static mats are used in electronics manufacturing, ESD Protected Areas (EPAs), server rooms, laboratories, and other environments where controlling static electricity is essential to prevent damage or hazards.
Common applications include:
Regular cleaning ensures consistent ESD performance by preventing the build-up of dirt, oils, and contaminants that can affect conductivity. Use ESD-safe mat cleaners that leave no residue or insulating film.
Proper maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your anti static mat and ensures reliable grounding over time.

If you’re unsure which anti static mat, ESD workbench mat, or ESD floor mat is right for your application, our team is ready to help.
Yes, an ESD mat is essential when working with static sensitive electronic components. It helps prevent static build-up and safely dissipates electrical charges, reducing the risk of component damage during assembly, repair, or testing.
The lifespan of an ESD mat depends on material quality, usage, and maintenance. High-quality rubber mats can last several years, while vinyl mats may have a shorter lifespan. Regular cleaning and proper grounding help extend performance over time.
No, an ESD mat must be properly grounded to function effectively. Without grounding, static charge cannot dissipate safely, reducing the mat’s ability to protect static sensitive components.
Yes, ESD mats can be used in home workstations or offices, especially for tasks like PC building or electronics repair. They provide an added layer of protection against static discharge in non-industrial environments.
The right size depends on your workspace and application. Workbench mats should cover the full working area, while floor mats should accommodate movement around the workstation to ensure consistent grounding.
To ensure full protection, ESD mats are typically used with grounding cords, wrist straps, and earth bonding points. These accessories create a complete static control system within an ESD Protected Area (EPA).
Some ESD mats, particularly rubber-based options, offer high resistance to heat and soldering. These are ideal for environments where soldering or high-temperature work is common.
Anti-static mats reduce static build-up, while ESD mats actively dissipate static charge to ground. ESD mats are typically used in controlled environments where full static protection is required.
