Choosing the right Desco ESD equipment
Mats and floor rolls
Dissipative mats drain charges in a slow, controlled way and suit workstations handling sensitive components. Conductive rolls drain faster and are typically used for floors and walkways.
- Workstation: Statfree bench mats and anti-fatigue mats
- Floor: conductive PVC and rubber floor rolls
Every mat needs correct grounding through ground points and cords.
Ionizers
Ionizers neutralize charges on insulators that cannot be grounded, such as plastics and packaging. Overhead units cover larger areas above the bench, while benchtop ionizers target individual workstations. Check offset voltage and discharge time regularly.
Testing and monitoring
An ESD program should be measurable. Continuous monitors check the wrist strap and mat in real time, test stations verify operators before they enter the EPA, and resistance meters confirm surfaces and grounding.

Frequently asked questions about Desco
What does Desco make?
Desco is a US manufacturer of static-control (ESD) products: dissipative and conductive mats and floor rolls, ionizers, wrist strap and grounding accessories, continuous monitors, and measurement and test instruments for electronics manufacturing.
What is Statfree?
Statfree is Desco's product line of static-control mats and floor coverings. It includes dissipative and conductive versions in rubber, PVC or vinyl, usually supplied as rolls for workstations and floors.
What is the difference between dissipative and conductive mats?
Dissipative mats drain charges slowly and in a controlled way, protecting sensitive components at the workstation. Conductive rolls drain faster and are commonly used for floors and walkways. Both must be properly grounded to work correctly.
What are Desco ionizers used for?
Ionizers neutralize static charges on insulators that cannot be grounded, such as plastics and packaging. Overhead models cover larger areas, while benchtop ionizers serve individual workstations. Offset voltage and discharge time should be checked regularly.
Can I monitor my ESD controls with Desco equipment?
Yes. Desco offers continuous monitors for wrist strap and mat, test stations for wrist straps and footwear, and instruments for surface resistance and ground impedance, so you can verify the effectiveness of your EPA on an ongoing basis.
