Method · Flooring

Static goes from the floor to earth.

For data centres and electronics production, where static can damage equipment. Before handover we measure the floor's resistance.

What it is

What it is

An epoxy floor made to carry static away, laid over a copper-tape grid that is connected to the building earth.

Choose it when

Data centres and electronics production, where static can damage equipment.

Keep in mind

Before handover the floor's resistance to ground is measured to be below 1×10⁹ Ω (ANSI/ESD S20.20) or the project's specified range. ESD floors work together with the footwear.

How it is built

Layers (built up from the bottom)

  1. Conductive self-levelling epoxy

    A self-levelling conductive finish that flows out flat.

  2. Conductive primer

    Applied over the copper tape. It carries static to the tape.

  3. Copper grounding tape (grid)

    Laid in a grid on the primer and connected to the building’s ground.

  4. Epoxy primer

    Soaks into the concrete so the next layer bonds.

  5. Concrete (ground and repaired)Substrate

    Weak surface ground off, cracks and voids filled to a sound, flat base.

The figure shows one typical build-up. The actual layers are decided after we see the site.

How we install & check

Substrate decides the primer

Slab moisture is always measured before a resin floor; damp slabs need a moisture barrier or a moisture-tolerant system.

Other floors, by use

Floors are chosen by how they are used. If another floor fits better, we will say so.

Questions

What decides the price?

The floor area, the state of the substrate (whether cracks, chips or moisture need repair first), the type and build of the finish, the chemicals and traffic it must take, and the hours we can work. Send photos and drawings on LINE and we will check the site and quote.

How is it different from an ordinary epoxy floor?

The epoxy is made to carry static and laid over a copper-tape grid connected to the building earth, so static drains away. The resistance is measured before handover (below 1×10⁹ Ω to ground, ANSI/ESD S20.20).

Can it go on a damp floor?

A damp slab needs a moisture barrier or a moisture-tolerant system. For high-moisture slabs and enclosed damp areas there is STPE, which goes onto damp (not wet) slabs, often with no primer. We measure the moisture before we choose.
