Can 70% alcohol be used to clean anti-static table mats



No, please do not use 70% alcohol on your anti-static desk mat as it will discolor and dry out the mat. Cleaners that contain high amounts of ammonia and alcohol work well on non-porous surfaces, but on porous surfaces such as PVC or rubber table mats, these chemicals can penetrate the material and dry out the mat (leading to plasticization agent seepage), making the mat harder and more brittle over time.
Professional Antistatic Cleaner is a non-solvent static protection product designed for cleaning ESD products such as antistatic table mats and antistatic floors. If used regularly, cleaning will not adversely affect the plasticizer and will enhance the electrical properties of the mat and its low-friction charging and ground-charging ESD capabilities.
