ESD Flooring Installation
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cost your facility time and money and is a health risk. Having the right type of flooring for electronic applications can make your facility safer and help prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
Surface Technology Inc. provides expert ESD installation for your facility’s floors if you work with combustible or flammable materials or electronic equipment. From flooring tiles to epoxy coatings, we install ESD floors that meet the ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard for durable quality you can trust.
What Is ESD Flooring?
ESD floors protect electronic equipment from damage caused by electrostatic discharge. ESD occurs due to static electricity generated by traffic in the area, from walking on the floor to handling the products.
While ESD tiles may be used in office spaces, industrial and warehouse areas typically use special epoxy or urethane coatings applied over a concrete subfloor. The coating creates a conductive surface that dissipates electrostatic charges by sending them to the ground before they can cause damage to sensitive equipment.
Advantages of Electrostatic Discharge Flooring
Proper ESD flooring installation is an important part of any facility that manufactures or uses sensitive electronic equipment. By dissipating electrostatic charges, ESD flooring assists in:
- Protecting equipment from damage: ESD floors provide a pathway with the least resistance to electricity, allowing electrostatic charges to safely dissipate. This feature safeguards electronic and other sensitive machinery from damage.
- Ensuring quality and reliable finished products: Other than causing damage, ESD can impact the efficacy, longevity, and performance of electronic equipment. Installing ESD floors ensures equipment functions to standard.
- Reducing the risk of fires: When static discharge occurs, it creates an ignition source for flammable elements like gases or vapors. By reducing the chances of a discharge, ESD floors contribute to safer working areas.
ESD conductive flooring is also easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for cleanroom applications.
