Ecotile’s new and patented technique involves adding tiny stainless steel fibres to the PVC base material at the point of manufacture to produce a permanent anti-static / conductive floor. The PVC base material containing the metal fibres is then injection moulded into the tooling to form the anti-static and conductive 500mm x 500mm interlocking floor tile.
The metal fibres are evenly and consistently distributed throughout the PVC resulting in both the surface resistivity and the overall resistivity of the tile surface being significantly reduced and in an improved ability to dissipate an electrostatic charge. This method also guarantees that the anti-static properties of the tiles will not decrease or fail over time.
