Cleanliness on dissipative flooring is a "must", more if we are talking about ATEX classified environments.
Dirt and residues could dramatically reduce the dissipation with the risk of real danger you can easily imagine.
So, what more than being sure our dissipative shoes are clean and featuring ESD properties at best through a clean sole when acceding to an ATEX environment?
A contamination control zone before an ATEX or an E.P.A. zone is the right answer to this problem.
You can easily clean up dissipative shoe’s sole as well as antistatic wheels or a truck or a trolley with no affection to normal traffic.
Contamination control mat are performing dissipative features so the drainage of static charges is optimized once operator or truck is on the mat. Then you can safely enter the restricted ATEX zone.
Contamination control mat, at the same time, are performing high retaining action on fine dust and powders, so a cleaning action is offered to anything will stick on it during transit.
Contamination control mat just need to be cleaned on ordinary / daily basis to get sticky again offering the same retaining and cleaning action.
