Ecotile ESD
ESD Puzzle
Ecotile ESD interlocking floor tiles deliver a verified surface resistance of 10⁵-10⁹ Ω and a point-to-point resistance below 1 x 10⁹ Ω, fully compliant with IEC 61340-5-1 and EN 1081. The 7 mm rigid PVC tile body withstands dynamic loads up to 12 tonnes/axle and static loads exceeding 50 tonnes/m², making them suitable for both foot-traffic assembly lines and forklift-accessible ESD-controlled areas. The snap-fit puzzle connection requires no adhesive, no primers, and no specialist tools - a 100 m² floor can be installed and operational within a single shift.
As an authorised distributor for Ecotile Flooring Ltd., esd.equipment stocks all 12 current SKUs including standard 500 x 500 mm tiles, ramp edge strips, and corner connectors. Every tile ships with a certificate of conformance referencing IEC 61340-5-1 test data, and individual tiles are replaceable without lifting the surrounding floor - minimising downtime in 24/7 production environments.
