Abstract
A novel carpet material or mat which is characterized by an extraordinary ability to quickly and comfortably discharge any build-up of a static electricity charge on a person who has built up such a charge, say, by walking across conventional carpeting. The novel material is constructed with a backing which has a low dissipation factor and relatively low volume and surface conductivity, with a conductive thread in the pile and with an electroconductive tufting substrate sheet.
