| There's a silent killer lurking in your
office...
The Problem
Static electricity robs you of productivity and threatens the
life of your expensive computer equipment. Motherboard, hard disk and card
failures are often attributed to static electricity. Most computer
manafacturers recommend the use of an anti-static device to guard against these
failures. Static Dissipative Chairmats protect your data and equipment
from this silent killer.
A Shocking Revelation
That
irritating shock you get when you touch a doorknob is caused by static
electricity. Any time two materials in contact are separated, such as your feet
and carpeting when you walk, a static charge is generated. One material loses
electrons resulting in a positive charge, while the other gains them, becoming
negatively charged.
The shock you feel is the static charge neutralizing itself by
instantly conducting the ground. This charge can be 2,000 to 20,000 volts,
harmless to humans due to the small amperage of the charge.
Electrical equipment, unfortunately, is much more sensitive. As
little as 20 volts can cause loss of data, monitor malfunctions and premature
component failures. Sensitive microchips and integrated circuits in computers
can be harmed before you even touch the keyboard! In winter months, heating
systems increase the risk by lowering humidity and increasing static charge.
Instant Passive Protection is
Required
Keyboard and mouse pads that dissipate static depend on
you to touch them. Anti-static chairmats provide instant passive protection -
as soon as you approach your desk, static is dissipated (as long as
rubber sole shoes are not worn)- before you know it and without your help!
The Solution
Our
anti-static chairmats are chemically formulated to dissipate static
electricity, so there are no cords to attach to the wall (to trip over, to
break, etc.) Static electricity is dissipated from the entire surface of the
mat into the air or ground in less than half of a second!
Performance -
Guaranteed!
Clear Anti-Static Chairmats are guranteed to meet the
requirements of National Fire Prevention Association Code 56A and Federal
Specification MIL-B81705B for a period of at least three years from date of
purchase. This requires dissipation of 5,000 volts within 1/2 second. Further,
they are guaranteed for life against breakage in normal use. |
