ElectraTape is an electrically conductive copper foil tape backed with a robust adhesive that is covered with an easy to remove liner making the application of this material easy, fast and accurate.

ElectraTape is used to create a ground grid that will promote excellent tile to tile conductivity when our Modular Peel and Stick Titanium ESD Tiles are placed on insulative surfaces such as VCT, Epoxy, carpet etc. (ElectraTape is not required when placing the peel and stick tiles on a grounded steel subfloor or an ESD flooring material.

Application: Clean the substrate to remove dirt, oil and products that may interfere with the adhesive. Mark the area where the grid will be required using a pencil or chalk line. Remove the liner from the tape and press it down on the substrate next to the marking. While walking backwards slightly pull the tape while removing the liner (this provides a straight wrinkle free run). Place the tape down and press it firmly in place. For optimum conductivity center punch the tape if it crosses another run (the backing is non conductive). Place the center of the peel and stick tiles (the 4" aluminum pad in the center of the tiles) over the grid work. Order a peel and stick ground tile to ground the entire assembly.

How it works: The peel and stick ESD tiles have a very thin 4" x 4" aluminum pad located in the center of each tile. This aluminum pad is in intimate contact with the conductive full surface backing of the ESD tile. A static charge flows thru the top portion of the tile, into the conductive backing on the tiles where the charge bridges the tiles of the structure (via the copper tape). The charge from the entire structure dissipates harmlessly to ground via the "plug and play" ground tile.
