Does this chair mat help with static electricity?

I cannot say for sure, but I have not experienced any SE, so maybe it does. It's. Very durable mat...I highly recommend .

Follow up: I see a previous poster had cracking issues...I had that with a previous mat...not a crack on this in over a year and counting.

I never had an issue with static electricity with this carpet, so cannot offer any other advice other than it cracked within a year.

There are no "grabbers" on the back of this mat so it'll probably still move around a bit on a rug/carpet but it will definitely keep the flooring out of the way of a chair. Hope that helps.

suggest you decouple your speakers although this is a good mat that won't build up static if that is a need.

I bought this for my husband who has regular hair this is the only shampoo he likes. I have used it on occasion and did not notice any problem with static. I Don't know if this will help; but might I suggest if you have a problem with static (which is basic positive/negative electrical action) might I suggest a moisturizer also helpful would be a humidifier.

I think so. I'm using it on a hardwood floor to put a bucket of fireplace woods. I don't move the bucket too often, only the time I vacuum around the area. But I've never have a problem. It may move around more than a plastic floor mat though. It's still tough enough to move around a chair, I think.

They are not made to eliminate static since they are made from wool. However, I have not had problems with static since using them compared to dryer sheets. I have found the dryer time to be lowered by up to 25% lowering my electric bill by using something economical and natural. You should be able to Google something to help with static if there is a problem.

I have this chair for like 9 months now. Absolutely no issues with the microfiber covering. I pretty much use it every single day. But it does generate a lot of static electricity. Every time I sit on this chair and touch something metallic I get a jolt. Overall build quality is still questionable. Its wood inside, I don't know what kind of wood it is but it doesn't feel very sturdy. I am 5'8'' weighing like 175 lbs.

Well, I haven't really noticed a change in the static charge of my clothes since switching to SoapNuts. I do use wool balls and an aluminum foil ball in the dryer and see virtually no static except when washing big blankets. I don't think these affect static but it seems to be more so what you use in the dryer.

No. You might want to put down a noskid mat or area rug under it. However it is only the outside perimeter and the perimeter of the small opening in the middle that is in contact with the floor. The raised part of the platform that the chair sits on does not touch the floor. I have hardwood floors and it works like a charm.

No - It's not like the mat you put under the chair by your computer...its WAY thinner. Ours keeps getting crumpled up when we move the chair around so its not my favorite purchase. However, for the price it does the job of protecting the carpet. I don't try my vacuum over it as I'm sure it would try suck up the edges - I just shake off crumbs and/or wipe it down with a cloth.

Yes, it will continue to protect your floor with any type of chair. You might want to put protectors under the feet of the chair. The mat does have texture to it, so a chair (thinking wood) would not slide easily without something to help it. Hope this helps.

The clamp is supposed to be connected to a common ground in the item you are working on. Furthermore you should be using an antistatic wristband or other antistatic device which is also connected to the common ground of the item you are working on. This is not designed to be a floor mat, it is a benchtop mat that lends extra anti static protection to an item which without it would have been placed directly on the bench. The primary focus of anti static protection is to discharge any potential static charge that may build up between an electronic item your are working on and you. The main anti static protection comes from a strap connected to you and the common ground of the ITEM YOUR ARE WORKING ON. Do not confuse the common ground bus of an electronic item with the electrical AC ground. When working on electronics work is mostly done in a powered down state that is disconnected from AC power. Generally to avoid a shock hazard, if you need to power a circuit, it should be done through an isolated power supply. This is product is solely for discharge of unintention static charges that may build up and unwittingly destroy very sensitive semiconductor chips.

Yes, it helps to keep the mat in place, I've had mine for awhile now and am very happy and satisfied with it.

I think I know why you're asking that - for static discharge before memory card or data storage. Honestly, I'm not sure, although, I have never had any sort of shock, or never had hair stand up when near it, etc. I would assume that it is anti-static, because it feels like ABS plastic

There is a metal plate on the bottom. We only use this attachment on rugs. We do get shocked once in awhile with static electricity.

What you are experiencing, Peter, is static electricity. Basically you have tiny particles carrying a charge, rubbing against a surface, building a charge by friction. A friend of mine touched a metal piece of furniture behind our shop vac, and got a nice small shock - and that was in Austin, which is not too dry. My experience with static electricity is that it is worst in dry and cold places, wintertime being it. Alas, in theory there should be a way to ground, but I have little experience, let me see... Aha, searching the internet for shop vac static discharge there are several suggestions - I am not allowed to post links here, so you'll have to search by yourself.

I've not sat on one for any length of time, but without the child seat to keep the mat in place, I think it may move around a bit. It's designed to protect and keep the seat clean.
