These coatings performed well in esd tests but were unattractive.
Epoxy floor conductivity.
Product 1esd epoxy coating system will test in the esd range between 1 000 000 and 1 000 000 000 ohms electrical resistance when product 1esd conductive is applied over a non conductive primer or non conductive bodycoat and produces a 12 15 mil thick esd floor coating system.
These three segments define the conductive flooring specification.
Esd safe flooring requirements.
Epoxy floor is a generic term for a floor coating system.
Coating systems are thinner rolled on options.
Then the electrical resistance of the floor must be 1 10 6 ω.
The choice of which type of flooring to use whether conductive or static dissipative is generally covered by legislation or specified by the owner s esd co ordinator.
For more information about esd epoxy and other static free floor coatings read here.
Next the coatings applied in two or three layers.
There are different ways to produce these coatings and technologies have changed over the years.
Conductive epoxy floor coatings.
After surface prep is complete cracks holes and spalled joints are repaired with an epoxy paste.
Industrial esd epoxy flooring.
Ansi esd s20 20 is a process based document which provides parameters for a standard set of test methods for evaluation of esd safety.
