Why Halogen-Free ESD Rubber Mats Matter

In industries such as electronics, semiconductors, and high-precision manufacturing environments like cleanrooms, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Rubber Mats are essential. These mats help protect sensitive components from electrostatic damage, which can lead to costly failures or errors during assembly.

Today, however, industrial standards have evolved. It's no longer just about protecting equipment—but also about ensuring human safety and environmental sustainability.
That’s why Halogen-Free ESD rubber mats are gaining growing attention and widespread adoption.

What Does Halogen-Free Mean?
Halogens are a group of chemical elements—such as chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and fluorine (F)—often added to materials to enhance flame retardance. However, under fire or improper disposal conditions, these elements can release toxic gases like hydrogen chloride (HCl) and hydrogen bromide (HBr), posing serious health and environmental risks.
To be considered Halogen-Free, ESD mats must contain:
No more than 900 ppm of chlorine or bromine
No more than 1,500 ppm of total halogens
as defined by the IEC 61249-2-21 standard

Why Halogen-Free ESD Mats Are Essential
  Reduce Health Risks
Conventional ESD mats containing halogens can release toxic fumes when burned, affecting the respiratory system of personnel.
Choosing Halogen-Free materials helps minimize this risk and promotes a safer working environment.
 Environmentally Safe
Halogen-Free mats are easier to dispose of responsibly, with no hazardous residue or emissions.
They support Green Factory goals and align with Circular Economy practices by minimizing environmental impact.
  International Compliance
Halogen-Free ESD mats are typically compliant with global standards such as RoHS, REACH, and IEC, making them export-ready and approved for use in highly regulated industries.
  Ideal for High-Tech Applications
In sectors such as microelectronics, sensors, and medical devices, where electrostatic control is critical, Halogen-Free ESD mats offer peace of mind—reducing both ESD risk and chemical contamination.

 Common Applications
-Workbench surfaces for PCB assembly
-Cleanroom floor coverings
-Walkways in ESD-sensitive manufacturing lines
-Repair benches for aviation, medical, or precision components

  Sustainability Starts from the Ground Up
"Safety and sustainability are no longer optional—they begin with the materials we choose."
Halogen-Free ESD Rubber Mats are the smart solution for companies seeking durability, safety, and environmental accountability—all in one.
If you’re sourcing ESD flooring that meets safety and compliance demands, make sure it’s Halogen-Free before you install.
