[Elecraft] Antistatic Silicon Mat?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I follow Elecraft Engineer Paul's advice (after he studied the electrical characteristics of a number of mats) and avoid any mats that do not specify their ohmic values. Too often, such mats better insulators than static dissipating devices.

So I'd at least e-mail the manufacturer for electrical specs.

Found on Amazon, looks very handy but is it really antistatic (ESD safe) for our purposes?
