Electronics / ESD Conductive Epoxy Flooring
In most settings electrostatic discharge is harmless and results in a mild shock. But when you work with sensitive equipment, flammable or combustible materials, preventative measures are necessary to avoid costly damage and serious injury.
Fortunately, there are resinous flooring systems that help to improve safety and offer high performance, durability, visual appeal, and easy cleaning – making them perfect for cleanroom applications.
Learn more about ESD flooring and best practices to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
Why Your Facility Needs Expert ESD Flooring
Expert electrostatic discharge (ESD) flooring is needed to protect both sensitive electronic components from damaging static discharge and personnel from electric shock, especially in industries like electronics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and cleanrooms. It is crucial for several reasons, including the following:
- Prevents component damage: Static electricity, even as low as 10 volts, can damage or destroy sensitive electronic components like integrated circuits and hard drives. ESD data center flooring helps dissipate these charges before they can cause damage.
- Ensures reliability: By preventing electrostatic discharge events, ESD flooring helps maintain the reliability of electronic devices and components, reducing warranty claims and brand damage for manufacturers.
- Prevents shocks: Walking across certain flooring materials can generate thousands of volts of static electricity, causing discomfort and minor shocks to personnel. ESD flooring in cleanrooms and electronics manufacturing facilities safely dissipates these charges.
- Reduces fire hazards: In environments handling flammable powders, gases, or liquids like pharmaceutical manufacturing, ESD flooring minimizes static buildup that could ignite combustible dusts, thereby reducing the risk of fires or explosions.
- Meets industry standards: Using an expert ESD flooring system ensures compliance with standards like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ESD S20.20 standard, which dictates specific resistance requirements for floors to safely dissipate static charges.
