What is ESD & Antistatic Flooring?

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and Antistatic flooring are specialized coatings engineered to control and safely dissipate static electricity, protecting both equipment and personnel from potential damage caused by electrostatic discharge. These flooring solutions work by conducting electrical charges through the floor and grounding them, preventing the accumulation of static electricity in environments where sensitive electronics are used.

ESD and Antistatic flooring are essential in industries such as electronics manufacturing, data centers, clean rooms, laboratories, and healthcare facilities, where even a small discharge can disrupt operations or damage costly equipment. In addition to protecting electronics, these coatings also create a safer working environment by minimizing the risk of static-related accidents.

Benefits of ESD & Antistatic Flooring

  • Static Protection: Prevents the build-up of static electricity, safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment and minimizing the risk of electrostatic discharge.
  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces the likelihood of static-related accidents, providing a safer work environment for personnel in high-risk areas.
  • Durability: Specialized ESD and Antistatic coatings are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, machinery, and other industrial demands, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Compliance: Meets industry standards for static control, helping companies adhere to safety regulations and avoid costly downtime due to equipment failure or damage.
  • Easy Maintenance: These flooring solutions are low-maintenance, providing an easy-to-clean, seamless surface that supports hygienic practices in sensitive environments.

Calcium Chloride Testing: Is Your Floor Ready?

Calcium chloride testing is a vital step in assessing a concrete slab's readiness for covering materials. The test measures a slab's moisture vapor emission rates by placing a pre-weighed calcium chloride disc under a sealed sheet for 24 hours. The accumulated weight helps calculate vapor emission rates, which ideally range between 3-5. Technicians must adhere to specific protocols to ensure accurate results, which include meticulous surface preparation and maintaining the test setup for 60-72 hours.

How to Test Epoxy Bond Strength on Floors

Epoxy bond strength on floors are assessed using specific tools and protocols to ensure adherence to industry standards. Measurement tools include tensile testing machines, peel strength test devices, and surface preparation tools. To determine if a surface is ready for epoxy bonding, technicians conduct various tests such as moisture testing, visual and tactile inspections, pH testing and surface roughness measurements. Pull-off testing, following ASTM D4541 guidelines, measures the epoxy's bond strength by applying a controlled force on the surface.

5 Best Calcium Chloride Tests For Epoxy Floors

Calcium chloride testing is crucial for successful epoxy floor installations by providing data on subfloor moisture levels. The test requires a very specific environment, with temperatures between 65-75°F and a humidity of 40-60% for roughly 72 hours. Equipment selection, meticulous test site cleaning, and adherence to test setup are key steps to ensure accurate results. These results inform whether the concrete meets manufacturers’ moisture level requirements for epoxy installation. If moisture levels are too high it can lead to coating failure and decreased floor longevity.
