As the name suggests, a toll booth on a highway is a type of booth used for toll collection. It belongs to the category of watchtowers and is generally made of materials such as stainless steel, color steel, and fiberglass. It is commonly used at highway entrances and exits. The Ministry of Transport of China has a strict set of material selection and production process standards for toll booths on highways. In its production process standards, all highway toll booths must use anti-static flooring. So why do highway toll booths need to use anti-static flooring?

Static electricity is everywhere, and friction between objects can generate electron gain and loss, thus producing static electricity. The amount of static electricity generated by friction between different materials varies. When people walk inside the pavilion and workers are active, there will be electric charges between shoes and the floor, between skin and clothes, and between clothes. Especially in the upcoming autumn and winter, when the weather is dry, static electricity will occur more frequently. For example, in winter, when taking off clothes and sleeping at night, a "crackling" sound is often heard in the darkness, accompanied by electric sparks; Sometimes when shaking hands with someone, as soon as the fingers touch the other person, one may feel a needle like pain in their fingertips; When combing hair in the morning, the hair often "floats" up; Sliding door handles and turning on faucets can cause electric shock.

Static electricity is harmful to the human body and has a significant impact on equipment in computer rooms. Electrostatic discharge can cause a decrease in the performance of some electronic devices and damage their components. We know that highway toll booths are also a type of computer room equipment, equipped with electronic communication devices, which also need to prevent static electricity hazards. Using anti-static flooring in the booth is an effective method. In addition, because there are many weak wires under the highway toll booth, the anti-static floor can be easily removed for construction. It also has the characteristics of non reflective, non slip, corrosion-resistant, dust-free, non vacuuming, easy to clean, and wear-resistant. Therefore, this is why the floor of the highway toll booth adopts anti-static floor.
