How does the anti-static rubber mat fail?
We must know how the anti-static rubber fails. Since the application area of the anti-static rubber is very wide and the environmental conditions are the same, we roughly divide the situation into three types.
1. There are high-temperature objects in the use environment, such as electric soldering iron. Once the electric soldering iron in use falls on the anti-static rubber, a little carelessness may cause a piece of anti-static rubber to be scorched or even burned through. It is obviously not cost-effective and a waste of resources to replace the entire anti-static rubber with a hole. Therefore, in general, we recommend cutting off a certain area of anti-static rubber with burnt marks or holes as the center, and replacing it with a new rubber of the same size. Of course, the corresponding conduction work must be done well, so I won’t go into details here.
2. Due to the harsh environmental conditions and a long period of use, the rubber material of the anti-static rubber will inevitably become hard, brittle, and cracked, and its physical properties are already different from those when it was just laid. Far away, even if the anti-static performance is still effective at this time, we recommend replacing the new anti-static rubber immediately to avoid possible failure at any time and the subsequent risk of static electricity.
3. The most common situation is also impossible to avoid with the existing technology. The anti-static rubber can no longer meet the anti-static requirements under the test. At this time, the only thing to do is to replace the new anti-static rubber immediately to avoid the existing ones. Risk of damage from static electricity.
