Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the AS ONE 1-1440-02 6102 Gray Anti-Static Mat:

1. What is the AS ONE 1-1440-02 6102 Gray Anti-Static Mat?

The 1-1440-02 (6102) Gray Economy Conductive Mat is a roll-type anti-static mat designed to dissipate electrostatic charge on work surfaces and floors in electronics assembly, cleanrooms, and laboratories.

2. What are its key specifications?

The top layer features a static-dissipative diffusion surface that spreads accumulated charge. The bottom layer is conductive and connects to ground, safely draining charges away from sensitive components and personnel.

4. Why is NBR chosen as the mat material?

NBR (nitrile rubber) offers good resilience, moderate chemical resistance, and stable anti-static performance across typical lab and production temperatures. It resists mild oils and cleaning agents without degrading its conductive properties.

5. What are the mat’s surface-resistance values?

The front (work) surface has a resistance of 1 × 10⁷ – 1 × 10⁹ Ω, ensuring slow discharge of static. The back (grounding) surface measures 1 × 10³ – 1 × 10⁵ Ω for reliable connection to earth ground.

6. In which environments is this mat typically used?

Electronics assembly benches

Soldering stations and repair tables

Cleanrooms and semiconductor facilities

Testing and inspection labs

Anywhere strict ESD control is required

7. How do I install and ground the mat correctly?

Unroll the mat onto a clean, flat surface.

Secure edges with anti-static tape or mat retainers.

Attach a grounding cord from the mat’s conductive underside to the facility earth-ground point.

Verify continuity with an ohmmeter; total resistance to ground should fall within 1 × 10⁶ – 1 × 10⁹ Ω.

8. How should I clean and maintain the mat?

Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent.

Avoid solvents, strong acids, or alkalis that can degrade NBR.

Allow to air-dry fully before re-grounding.

Periodically test surface resistance to ensure it remains within specification.

9. What safety and ESD standards does it support?

When installed and grounded per manufacturer guidelines, the mat meets international ESD control guidelines such as IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 for static-dissipative surfaces.

10. What are its chemical and temperature tolerances?

The NBR compound tolerates ambient temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C and resists light oils, greases, and dilute cleaning solutions without significant swelling or loss of conductivity.

11. How durable is the mat, and what is its expected lifespan?

Under normal lab use, the mat resists abrasion and maintains ESD performance for 2–3 years. High-traffic areas or harsh chemicals may shorten lifespan, so inspect regularly and replace when resistance drifts beyond specification.

12. Can I cut the mat to fit a custom workspace?

Yes. Use a sharp utility knife or scissors to trim the mat to your desired shape. Ensure freshly cut edges are grounded if they expose conductive layers.

13. Where can I purchase the AS ONE 1-1440-02 (6102) mat, and what does it cost?

Please contact QTE Technologies (qtetech.com/en) to unlock the best price.

14. Are other sizes or colors available?

Yes. AS ONE also offers:

1-1440-01 (6102) Green, 600 mm × 10 m × 2 mm

1-1441-02 (9102) Gray, 900 mm × 10 m × 2 mm

1-1469-02 (12102) Gray, 1200 mm × 10 m × 2 mm

15. What troubleshooting tips should I follow?

If static build-up persists, verify the ground connection and resistance to earth.

Clean the mat to remove debris or contaminants that can insulate and block conduction.

Measure surface resistance regularly; replace the mat if it no longer meets the specified range.
