Anti-Static

Electro-static discharge (ESD) can pose a threat to sensitive electronic equipment, and in environments that handle volatile gases, powders, liquids or other substances it can even be a potentially dangerous ignition source. This charge can quickly build up within a floor when subjected to regular traffic from people and wheeled equipment.

To minimise these concerns, a controlled electrostatic protected area (EPA) can be created by installing a resin coating that safely dissipates electrostatic charge to ground faster than it accumulates.

Flowcrete’s specialist anti-static finish fulfils the three flooring criteria outlined in ANSI/ESD S20.20, which requires a system resistance of a person through the floor and to ground of less than 35 megohms.
