Linoleum antistatic

Basic purpose of antistatic linoleum — protection against static electricity. Its use is necessary where different arrangement of the electronic equipment is characteristic. For example, antistatic linoleum can be used in premises of telephone automatic telephone exchanges or in shop on production of microelectronics.

Antistatic linoleum is divided on as far as types, the size of resistance force is characteristic of each of which. Linoleum with a resistance less 10^9 Ohm call antistatic. Linoleum with a resistance 10^7-10^8 Ohm call tokorasseivayushchy. If resistance of linoleum lies in limits 10^4-10^6 Ohm, it call conducting.

Thus, it became clear that antistatic linoleum has internal electric resistance less 10^9 Ohm. When walking on such linoleum on it there is electric charge. Tension on antistatic linoleum in this case makes no more than 2 kW. Antistatic linoleum gained such unique ability due to addition in it special additives, such as particles of carbon or carbon threads. Introduction of the last allows to disseminate electric charge through all surface of linoleum.

Conductivity of antistatic linoleum does not depend on humidity as its electric resistance does not depend on it. Therefore, use of antistatic coverings is allowed practically in any sort rooms. Antistatic linoleum has to be strong and wearproof as heterogeneity in thickness of its surface can cause uneven distribution of electric charge. Therefore, stacking such linoleum, it is necessary to prepare carefully a surface for laying, and also to use only the serviceable tool. For full confidence in electrical safety of the room, antistatic linoleum periodic is checked for the speed and uniformity of absorption of the category. The special equipment and materials is for this purpose used.
