COBA has a fresh look. While their branding may be new, their focus on safety remains strong. If you choose mats for busy workplaces, it is important to know the difference between ESD and insulating mats.
Why ESD matting matters
Static electricity can damage sensitive electronics before you even notice. You can prevent these risks by installing ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) mats. COBA offers several ESD solutions. For example, you can use Tough Lock ESD, Sensio Dial ESD, COBAstat, or ESD Rubber Bench Mats. These mats help move static electricity away from the equipment and the people who work with it. As a result, electronics stay safe and your workplace stays productive.
Insulating mats: Protecting people from electrical discharge
On the other hand, insulating mats increase safety for anyone working near electrical equipment. These mats, like the COBAswitch range, stop electric shocks by blocking the current from reaching the ground. For higher standards, you can choose products like COBAswitch VDE or COBAswitch BS EN:61111. These options help your site stay compliant with safety laws, and employees gain extra peace of mind.
How to choose the right mat
Now, you need to pick the mat that matches your application. Do you want to stop static from damaging electronics? Or must you protect workers from high-voltage risks? Either way, COBA’s matting specialists can guide you. Their advice will help you create safe, compliant environments.
