ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Flooring

If your facility handles sensitive electronic assemblies, volatile chemicals, or precision instruments, uncontrolled electrostatic discharge can destroy components, corrupt data, or create ignition hazards. Your floor is the first line of defence.

Anti-static is often used loosely in flooring marketing. In practice, all ESD (electrostatic discharge) floors are anti-static in the sense that they control static build-up — but not every floor sold as anti-static is a proper ESD system. True ESD flooring is specified, installed, and tested to defined surface resistance, earthing, and body-voltage limits so your facility can meet standards such as IEC 61340 and ANSI/ESD S20.20.

ESD flooring systems provide a controlled path to ground through a multi-layer build-up comprising a conductive primer, copper earthing tape, and a dissipative self-levelling topcoat. The system maintains surface resistivity within the 10⁵ to 10⁹ ohm range required by those standards, with body voltage generation held below 100 V.

Installed at 2.0 to 5.0 mm total system thickness over mechanically prepared concrete, the solvent-free epoxy resin system delivers compressive strength of approximately 70 N/mm² and flexural strength of 40 N/mm². The finish is low-emission (AgBB compliant), ISEGA-certified for hygienic properties, and provides high abrasion resistance under rolling and foot traffic.

Every installation includes post-cure resistivity testing, earthing verification, and a compliance certificate for your records. We install conductive and dissipative systems from manufacturers including Hychem and Sika for electronics manufacturing floors, data centres, server rooms, laboratories, operating theatres, and munitions-handling facilities.
