Statfree® Type i Fused
Conductive Ergonomic
Flooring System
NEW
Charleswater’s new
Fused Type i
combines the superior
durability and
patented* ergonomic
properties of Statfree®
Type i Rubber
Interlocking ESD mats
with the flexibility of
multiple widths and
lengths. Your
customers can select
from over 200 sizes to
configure their area without interlocks that tend to
come apart. The various lengths and widths are
made by chemically bonding the seams from both
the top and the bottom, creating sections which are
easy to install, providing attractive, durable, antifatigue and safe ESD protected flooring for any size
area. The larger sections are then able to connect
with other sections to create very specific floor plans.
Once configured, the patented** interlocking strip is
designed to be cut away, leaving a clean, safe, and
finished edge. Send floor layout for assistance in
obtaining optimum flooring layout configuration.

ESD CORNER
Q. In using static dissipative mats, is it necessary for
it to be bolted or screwed on worktables with metal
sheets to make the electrical connection, or can it
just be placed on top of the metal sheet?
A. It is recommended to directly ground your ESD
mats with a ground cord directly to the power
ground. You can technically ground the mats by
coupling a conductive side to the metal surface of a
workstation, but you run the risk of a floating
electrical connection. If the ground connection is not
fixed or permanent, there is a chance the connection
can be broken causing a non-protective condition in
the mat. In addition, some mats are multilayered and
may have a non-conductive bottom layer that can’t
be coupled. The only reliable grounding method is to
properly use a mat ground cord.
