ESD Conductive Flooring

Measurable, verifiable flooring systems that carry the charge to ground, for areas where electrostatic discharge is unacceptable for product, equipment and process.

Why ESD

Making an invisible risk measurable.

In electronics manufacturing, in areas with explosive-atmosphere classification and in environments where sensitive equipment operates, the uncontrolled discharge of static electricity threatens the product itself, the equipment and the process. An antistatic floor limits charge accumulation; an ESD conductive floor goes one step further and carries the charge to ground along a defined path.

The value of an ESD floor emerges not on the day it is installed but on the day it is measured. That is why we begin the application by planning the grounding connection points, and at completion we verify the surface’s conductive behavior with the field measurements prescribed by international ESD standards, and record the results. What we hand over is not a coating but a verified protection system.

What sets this system apart
  • A grounded system: The charge is not merely limited; it is safely carried to earth along a defined path.
  • Handover with measurement: Post-installation conductive behavior is verified by field measurement and reported.
  • Uninterrupted protection: The conductive network is built for continuity across the entire surface.
  • Epoxy durability: The conductive function is achieved without compromising epoxy’s mechanical and chemical resistance.
Where it is used

System cross-section

An uninterrupted path from surface to ground.

In an ESD floor, every layer has a defined duty; the integrity of the system comes from the continuity the conductive network establishes with the grounding points.

  • Conductive wearing coatTaking the charge from the surface, the cleanable, durable top layer.
  • Conductive interlayerThe network that collects the charge across the entire surface and carries it to the grounding points.
  • PrimerThe bonding layer providing adhesion to the concrete.
  • Concrete slabThe existing substrate the system is built on, assessed beforehand.
  • Grounding connectionPoints defined on the plan, tying the system into the building’s earthing installation.

Safety
Key properties

What is expected of an ESD floor.

Conduction to ground

Carries the charge to earth along a defined path.

Measurable performance

Conductive behavior is measured in the field and reported.

Against spark risk

Aims to eliminate the possibility of uncontrolled discharge.

Mechanical strength

Retains epoxy’s load and abrasion resistance.

Chemical resistance

Protection against many chemicals and spills.

Lasting behavior

Conductivity is not superficial; it comes from the system’s structure.

Typical thickness

Thickness that scales with the need.

The values below are indicative typical ranges only. The final system and thickness are determined by assessing the area’s risk class and conditions on site.
