Electrostatic dissipative (ESD) resin floors are specifically designed to control static electricity in environments where it can pose risks such as in electronics manufacturing, healthcare facilities, laboratories and clean rooms – and places with sensitive equipment such as automotive, aeronautical, medical and oil and chemical processing.
One of the largest ESD flooring systems we’ve installed is for Mace at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. Using the Flowcrete system from start to finish, this SR1 Level floorspace, measures almost 3500 square meters. This is what they said about our workmanship Mace | Central Flooring Services
When we install Electrostatic Dissipative resin floors, we also arrange for anti-static properties testing to be carried out in line with the manufacturers guidelines and provide you with a test certification.
Electro dissipative floors prevent static discharge that could potentially damage sensitive electronic components or equipment and enhance safety by minimising the risk of static shocks to people working with sensitive equipment, reducing discomfort and potential safety hazards.
Spaces like clean rooms, laboratories, or manufacturing areas where static electricity can interfere with processes or damage sensitive materials are classed as critical environments. Take the electronics industry, an ESD flooring system is particularly beneficial here, where even small static discharges can harm delicate electronic components.
ESD resin floors offer a seamless, smooth surface that’s easy to clean and maintain. Many ESD resin flooring systems are resistant to chemicals, oils, and other substances, extending their lifespan and maintaining functionality.
Designed to meet specific industry standards, ESD floors ensure compliance with regulations set for static control in different environments. These specialist floors come with certifications proving their effectiveness in controlling static electricity.
Despite their functional benefits, ESD resin floors offer a variety of design options, colours, and finishes, allowing customisation to match the artistic requirements of different spaces. Some floors can be finished to provide a reflective surface, enhancing light reflection and improving overall visibility.
ESD resin floors typically want minimal maintenance, reducing long-term operational costs. Their robust nature and resistance to wear and tear contribute to longer lifespans, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.
Some ESD resin flooring systems are eco-friendly, using materials that are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to healthier indoor air quality. Certain flooring materials used in ESD systems are recyclable, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
