Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can endanger the quality and functionality of your important electronics. When electronic components are produced or installed they need to be effectively protected from these possible discharges. Even discharges of as little as 100 V, which are not noticeable to a human being, can damage sensitive components.
Specific solutions for ESD protection
In clean rooms or other, sensitive areas within industrial facilities flooring is frequently subject to chemical cleaning and disinfecting agents, corrosive liquids or other media. It is therefore important that floor coverings meet maximum requirements in terms of resistance to these substances in relevant application areas.

Considering a floor from an economic view reveals that the initial investment only accounts for a small part of the total costs. Up to 90% of the costs are incurred during the floor's service life. This includes regular reapplication of protective films, deep cleaning, recoating and the associated costs caused by downtime. In contrast, nora rubber floor coverings have proven to be particularly economical thanks to their low subsequent costs and their long service life.
