What is the difference between anti-static rubber sheet and insulating sheet?
Insulation is a safety measure that uses a non-conductive substance to isolate or enclose a charged body to protect against electric shock.
Anti-static is to prevent static electricity and prevent static damage.
The difference between the two is:
1. The product with the resistance value less than 10 is the anti-static product. The better anti-static product has a resistance value of 10, 6 times Ω to 10, 9 times Ω (ie, electrostatic sub-conductor), because the resistance value is lower. The antistatic product has a conductive function and can discharge static electricity.
2. The 12-ohm product with a resistance value greater than 10 is an insulation product (ie, an electrostatic non-conductor), which is prone to static electricity and cannot be discharged by itself.
3. Many people confuse anti-static with insulation. For example, electricians should wear insulated shoes during operation. Never wear anti-static shoes. Insulated shoes can isolate the human body from the earth, avoid contact between human body and charged objects, and cause electric shock and casualties.
