Antistatic and conductive carpet tile system

A modular antistatic and conductive carpet tile floor covering that comprises in combination:

• (a) a plurality of antistatic and conductive carpet tiles for ESD control for being releasably adhered on a floor and (b) a conductive releasable adhesive wherein:
• each carpet tile includes a primary backing layer, a conductive support layer disposed below said primary backing layer, a polyurethane precoat layer having carbon particles embedded therein disposed between said primary backing layer and said conducted support layer, and tufting woven through said primary backing layer and extending at least partially into said conductive support layer forming a carpet pile above said primary backing layer;
• and
• the conductive releasable adhesive for releasably securing said tiles to existing surfaces which includes a releasable adhesional substance and a multiplicity of conductive fibers suspended therein, said conductive fibers forming a conductive matrix throughout the volume of said adhesional substance.

• (b) a conductive releasable adhesive;
• and (c) conductive material wherein each tile includes a primary backing layer having conductive filaments, a conductive support strata disposed below said primary backing layer and tufting woven through said primary backing layer and extending at least partially into said conductive support strata forming a carpet pile above said primary backing layer;
• the conductive releasable adhesive includes a releasable adhesional substance and means for rendering said substance conductive for releasably securing said tiles to said existing surfaces;
• and
• the conductive material is disposed between said carpet tiles and said conductive releasable adhesive for providing a path to ground for any electrical charges which contact said carpet tiles.
