Transforming technologies, FM83X3, Conductive Interlocking Tile, 3'X3'
The Transforming Technologies FM83X3 TileSTAT is a black, 3 × 3 ft conductive nitrile-rubber anti-fatigue tile for modular ESD work areas. Interlocking sections fit together to create custom workstation layouts or larger floor systems, then dismantle for relocation and cleaning. Its solid, pebble-embossed surface provides improved traction. Optional yellow beveled borders are available separately.
Best Uses / Applications
- Modular ESD workstation floor areas.
- Standing work positions requiring conductive anti-fatigue matting.
- Reconfigurable assembly and handling areas.
- Wet or dry locations where the material and installed system are suitable for the process.
Key Features
- 100% conductive nitrile rubber.
- Interlocking sections for custom layouts.
- Solid top with pebble emboss for improved traction.
- Dismantles for moving and cleaning.
- Optional 3-inch-wide yellow beveled borders.

Thickness needs confirmation: the previous listing stated 3/4 inch, while the current manufacturer product page lists 0.375 inch. The supplied datasheet does not specify thickness. Confirm the supplied tile thickness before planning installation clearances.
The manufacturer states that TileSTAT meets or exceeds ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements per ANSI/ESD STM7.1. Qualify the installed flooring, grounding and footwear combination for your ESD control plan; the tile specification alone does not establish complete-system compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the FM83X3 tile?
The manufacturer specifies a 3 × 3 ft tile. Confirm the layout and perimeter requirements before ordering.
Is TileSTAT conductive?
Yes. The datasheet lists tile point-to-point resistance of 104–106 Ω and the same numerical range for resistance to ground point.
Are yellow borders included?
Borders are optional. FM8RF is the female border and FM8RM is the male border; each is 3 inches wide and 3 feet long. Do not assume they are included with this tile.
Can the tiles be relocated?
Yes. The interlocking sections can be dismantled for relocation and cleaning.
Can it be used in wet locations?
The datasheet describes the solid-top design for wet or dry locations and pebble emboss for improved traction. Assess actual liquids, housekeeping and workplace conditions; this is not a guarantee against slipping.
Does the tile establish an ESD-compliant floor?
No. Evaluate the complete installed system, grounding and footwear under your ESD control plan. Tile resistance figures alone do not establish performance of the complete installation.
