Static Control (ESD & Conductive Flooring)
Where ESD/Conductive Floors Are Required
Static Control flooring manages electrostatic discharge (ESD) by safely dissipating charges through a defined resistance range, protecting sensitive electronics and improving safety in labs, cleanrooms, electronics manufacturing, data/IT spaces, diagnostic imaging, operating theatres and pharmacies.
We supply materials only to B2B clients. Installation and earthing are performed by your appointed ESD‑qualified contractor and electrical team to the system manual and standards.
System Components
-
Conductive/ESD floorcovering (tiles or sheet) with carbon networks/veins.
-
Copper tape grid bonded to subfloor/adhesive layer.
-
ESD‑rated conductive adhesive.
-
Earthing points & hardware to connect the grid to building earth.
-
Accessories: skirtings, transitions, ESD floor finishes where specified.
Technical & Compliance (Essentials)
Confirm exact resistance bands, test methods and certification paths for your jurisdiction and client QA.
Typical Range / Note
-
Dissipative (10^6–10^9 Ω), Conductive (10^4–10^6 Ω)—verify per product
-
IEC 61340 series; ANSI/ESD S20.20 program requirements
-
Tiles (easier replacement) and sheet (fewer seams)
-
Typically Bfl‑s1 (verify DoP/test)
-
Low VOC; EPD/LCA on request
-
ESD‑compatible cleaners/finish; avoid insulating polishes

ESD vs Conductive (Selection Guide)
Use Case
-
Electronics assembly & test
-
Labs, pharmacies, healthcare
-
Server/IT & data spaces
Preferred Class
-
Conductive (10^4–10^6 Ω)
-
Dissipative (10^6–10^9 Ω)
-
Dissipative
Why
-
Faster charge removal
-
Balanced discharge without spark risk
-
Minimizes ESD while avoiding over‑conductivity
Installation Workflow
-
Subfloor prep to specification; verify moisture and flatness.
-
Lay conductive adhesive and embed copper tape grid (per spacing guide).
-
Install ESD tiles/sheet observing arrow/batch orientation.
-
Create earthing connections at designated points; label and test.
-
Commissioning tests: surface resistance, point‑to‑ground, and body voltage per standard.
-
Handover as‑built drawings, resistance logs and maintenance guide.

Design & Detailing Notes
-
Footwear & furniture: ensure ESD‑compatible castors/feet; manage chair mats that may insulate.
-
ESD program: integrate flooring with wrist straps, garments, mats and workstations under ANSI/ESD S20.20.
-
Transitions: maintain continuity to grounded areas; isolate non‑ESD zones as needed.
-
Colour & zoning: use contrasting borders around EPA (ESD Protected Areas) for visual control.

FAQ
Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about static control.
Which resistance class should we specify for an electronics line?
+
Conductive (10^4–10^6 Ω) is common; confirm with your process ESD plan and instrumentation.
How is the floor grounded?
+
Via a copper tape grid connected to earthing points tied to building earth, tested at handover.
Can we wax ESD floors?
+
Use only ESD‑approved finishes; avoid insulating polishes that raise resistance beyond spec.
Tiles or sheet?
+
Tiles allow spot replacement; sheet reduces seams in clean zones—choose per layout and hygiene needs.
Do you provide installation?
+
No—materials only. Installation and earthing are performed by your appointed ESD contractor.
