Transforming Technologies MT2530RB Two Layer ESD Rubber Table Mat Roll, 30 in x 50 ft x 0.060 in, Royal Blue
Transforming Technologies MT2530RB Two-Layer ESD Rubber Table Mat Roll, 30" x 50 ft, Royal Blue
The Transforming Technologies MT2530RB is a premium 2-ply rubber ESD table mat roll designed for electronics assembly, rework, and inspection workstations. The MT2500 series combines a static dissipative top layer with a conductive bottom layer for reliable, long-lasting ESD protection that meets or exceeds ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements. The 50 ft roll format allows custom cutting to fit any bench length, making it the preferred choice for facilities outfitting multiple workstations or running high-volume electronics production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the MT2500 and MT4500 series?
The MT2500 series is 0.060" thick and suited for standard electronics assembly benches. The MT4500 series is 0.080" thick and provides additional durability for heavier-use environments. Both meet ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements.
Does this mat need to be grounded to work?
Yes — the mat must be connected to a verified common point ground via a ground cord attached to the 10mm snap. Without grounding, the mat provides no ESD protection. The conductive bottom layer is also compatible with continuous workstation monitors.
What widths and colors are available?
The MT2500 series is available in 24", 30", and 36" widths in NASA Blue, Royal Blue, and Gray. Pre-cut ready-made table mat sizes are also available if you don’t need a roll.
Can I cut this roll to a custom length?
Yes — the 50 ft roll format is designed for custom cutting to fit any bench length. Snaps for ground cord attachment are added during the cutting process.
Is this mat compatible with a continuous workstation monitor?
Yes. The conductive bottom layer supports continuous monitoring systems that verify both wrist strap and mat ground paths simultaneously — a requirement for many ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliance programs.
How do I clean and maintain an ESD rubber mat?
Clean the MT2530RB with an ESD-safe mat cleaner such as ACL Staticide or a mild IPA solution. Avoid harsh solvents that can degrade the dissipative surface layer over time. After cleaning, verify surface resistance with an ESD meter to confirm the mat still meets your program’s resistance requirements. Most programs recommend testing worksurfaces at least quarterly.
How does a 2-layer rubber ESD mat compare to a vinyl ESD mat?
Rubber ESD mats like the MT2530RB are significantly more durable and heat-resistant than vinyl mats — they won’t be damaged by hot solder irons or component leads. Rubber also provides a more stable, consistent surface resistance over time. Vinyl mats are generally lower cost but degrade faster in production environments. For high-use production benches, rubber is the preferred long-term investment.
