Trans-Stat® Clear Anti-static Chairmat - From Modern Plastics. This is one tough chairmat. Trans-Stat® absorbs harmful static electricity the moment an operator steps on the mat, and then disperses the charge safely away from sensitive equipment. The following is a brief explanation of how the Trans-Stat® works along with definitions of many of the common terms used when discussing static electricity.

Static electricity is exactly what the name implies - electrical change at rest. This electrical charge is a transfer of electrons that occurs as a result of the sliding, rubbing or separating of the material that is a prime generator of electrostatic voltages.

The Trans-Stat®, having electrostatic properties, effectively and safely dissipates any charge induced on the surface of the material.

The testing procedure used to measure the effectiveness of the Trans-Stat® is Federal Test Method Standard 101B, Method 4046. This states that when an indicated specimen receives an electrical charge of 5000 volts, the time for the indicated specimen potential to drop to 10% of its maximum value shall not exceed 1/2 second. This procedure is conducted by using an Electro-Tech Static Decay Meter, Model 406C. The 406 series is the only complete system available for measuring the electrostatic properties of materials in accordance with Federal Test Method 101B, Method 4046 - Electrostatic Properties of Materials.

Simply stated, the electrostatic properties of a material must be measured with a static decay meter. This differs for the test procedures normally used to measure a material's surface resistance.

The Trans-Stat® has a surface resistance over 1000 megohms; therefore, it is not highly conductive. The Trans-Stat® is an anti-static material by virtue of its exclusive formulation. The anti-static agent used in the Trans-Stat® formulation provides a path that dissipates the static charge to the atmosphere.

In conclusion, the Trans-Stat® complies with Federal Test Method Standard 101B, Method 4046, for removing static electricity from computer work areas.
