ESD Flooring

Static Dissipative and Conductive Floors for Superior Static Control

What is ESD Flooring?

As a person walks across a standard epoxy floor, it is very easy to build up static charge through friction because epoxy acts as an insulative material. Where there is static, there is electro-static discharge. This can cause mayhem in certain industries.

ESD floors, also known as static-dissipative floors (1 Mohm to 1000 Mohms) or conductive floors (.025 Mohms to 1 Mohms), provide superior static control, inhibiting static electricity on a person or from reaching sensitive equipment.}

Benefits of ESD Flooring

Stonhard ESD flooring provides superior static control while providing a number of other performance and aesthetic benefits.

Esdconductivity

Protection Against Electro-Static Discharge

ESD flooring protects personnel from injury or loss of life due to shock or explosion. ESD floors are often used to protect those working in cleanrooms. ESD floors protect sensitive electronic components from damaging static electricity, often in computer and electronics manufacturing. ESD flooring offers better performance than tile which can delaminate under heavy-duty conditions. ESD flooring saves money on replacing or repairing electronic equipment that has failed or been damaged due to static electricity. ESD floors create a 100% effective static-controlled environment, complete with ESD footwear.

High Gloss

High Gloss

The high gloss of ESD flooring ensures a consistent electrical conductivity by minimizing surface irregularities that could disrupt the dissipation of static charges. High-gloss flooring is also easier to clean, essential in environments like electronics manufacturing and laboratories where dust and contaminants can interfere with static control. High-gloss ESD flooring coatings may make them more resistant to wear, chemicals, and moisture. Precision-based environments benefit from light reflection for better visibility. The high-gloss appearance provides the aesthetic of a high-tech space.

Self Leveling White Transparent

Self Leveling

A self-leveling floor creates a seamless surface ensuring consistent electrical conductivity across the entire floor. This reduces the risk of "hot spots" that could interfere with sensitive equipment. The self-leveling property eliminates dips, bumps, and trowel marks for a flawless surface that enchances performance and ease of cleaning. A self-leveling floor may make for a quicker application reducing downtime for business.

Smooth Finish White Transparent

Smooth Finish

A smooth finish aids in static control, hygiene, and durability where ESD flooring is required. It ensures an even electrical conductivity and reliable electrostic discharge protection. It is easier to clean and maintain preventing dust, dirt, and contaminants from accumulating. A smooth flooring surface minimizes friction and reduces wear. The smooth finish may be more resistant to chemical and moisture which helps maintain performance. Finally, a smooth finish gives high-tech facilities a professional, cutting-edge look.

High Strength White Transparent

High Strength

High-strength ESD flooring can support heavy machinery without cracking or wearing down making it ideal for manufacturing and data centers. This also givees it consistent ESD performance and a longer lifespan.

High Traffic White Transparent

High Traffic

Many facilities that require ESD flooring are constantly in motion. ESD floors need to be able to maintain their electrostatic dissipative properties no matter the continous foot or equipment traffic. If floors are formulated to withstand a high volume of traffic they can provide long-term protection against ESD. 

Slip Resistance

Slip Resistance

Slip-resistant flooring is designed with material properties to help reduce slipperiness and increase traction. Necessary for the protection of employees, customers, and visitors in both industrial and commercial facilities, slip-resistant floors come in a variety of finishes and textures specifically designed to reduce slippage.

Textured Finish White Transparent

Textured Finish

Depending on the environment, ESD floors can utilize a textured finish to provide better traction (for example in areas prone to spills, dust, or moisture). Textured finishes can still provide consistent static dissipation, ensuring that electrostatic charges are controlled effectively.

ESD Flooring Applications

How We Install Your ESD Flooring System

Step 1
Inspection And Testing

Inspection and Testing

The area is inspected prior to installation to determine the right system required for the area and the type of testing required. Based on the condition of the slab, use of the space, or age of the building, different tests may be required, such as Calcium Chloride or Relative Humidity testing to determine the moisture content of the slab or contamination.  Proper conductivity requirements are discussed with the customer to determine which ESD system is required.

Step 2
Substrate Preparation

Substrate Preparation

Based on the information found from these tests and onsite visits, the proper preparation procedure is determined. This may include mechanical preparation with media blasting, diamond grinding, and removal by jack hammers and chipping guns. If slabs are determined to be contaminated with oils, de-greasing may be necessary to achieve proper adhesion. Preparation is the most important process to ensure there is a proper bond to the substrate.

Step 3
Flooring Application Image

Application

Installation of the system will vary depending on the specific system (broadcast, mortar, self-leveler). Common installation procedures vary from screeding and troweling the material, squeegeeing and rolling the material, and broadcasting the material. Grounding plates and joint bridge details are utilized to properly ground the flooring system. All details, including waterproofing, cove base, penetrations, drains, etc., are discussed prior to installation.These will be handled properly to ensure a good quality ESD floor installation with professionally trained installation teams. After application and cure of the ESD flooring, ESD properties are tested to insure proper readings for the space.
