Antistatic Board FAQ
Q: What is the maintenance requirement for Antistatic boards?
A: Antistatic boards require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a lint-free cloth is recommended. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that might damage the surface. For optimal performance, check surface resistivity quarterly using a suitable meter.
Q: How does Antistatic board differ from conductive or insulated work surfaces?
A: Antistatic boards are designed to slowly dissipate static charges, preventing sudden discharges that could damage components. Conductive surfaces discharge too quickly (risk of damage), while insulated surfaces don't discharge at all (risk of charge buildup). Our Antistatic boards provide the perfect middle ground with controlled, safe dissipation.
Q: Can Antistatic boards be customized for specific applications?
A: Yes, we offer various customization options including different sizes, thicknesses, edge treatments, and even conductive grid patterns for specialized applications. Custom sizes can be cut to fit specific workstations or equipment requirements. Special grounding provisions can also be incorporated upon request.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure proper grounding connection is established
- Clean the installation area thoroughly
- Place the Antistatic board on a level surface
- Secure the board using appropriate fixtures
- Test surface resistivity after installation
For optimal performance of your Antistatic board, we recommend integrating it with a complete ESD control system including proper grounding, personnel grounding devices, and appropriate handling procedures for sensitive components.
