WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONDUCTIVE AND STATIC DISSIPATIVE TILE?
The biggest difference between Conductive and Static Dissipative tile is the range of electrical resistance. The conductive tile resistance range is 2.5 x 104 to 1.0 x 106. Static dissipative tile has a higher resistance range going from 1 x 106 to 1.0 x 108. Our static dissipative tile; however, has a tighter range of 1.0 x 106 to 1.0 x 108. Conductive tile has less resistance and a more direct path to ground. WHEN SHOULD CONDUCTIVE TILE BE USED AND WHEN SHOULD STATIC DISSIPATIVE TILE BE USED? Because conductive tile has the least resistance it has best static decay ratio eliminating unwanted static charges. Again, to make it simple, for all areas of chip manufacturing, wafer fabs, semiconductors, assembly, test, any production area, packaging, pharmaceuticals, or where raw product can be exposed to ESD events, conductive tile should be used. Conductive tile should also be used in any explosive arenas. Static Dissipative tile on the other hand can be used in computer rooms, classrooms
