ESD Flooring

Site Inspection & Testing

• The installation area is inspected to assess subfloor condition, moisture levels, and project requirements. Tests such as calcium chloride or relative humidity testing may be conducted to determine suitability for ESD flooring and to assess the required grounding performance.

Subfloor Preparation

• The concrete surface is mechanically prepared through grinding, shot blasting, or other methods to remove contaminants and ensure a clean, stable bonding base. Proper preparation helps with long-term adhesion and ESD performance.

Flooring Installation & ESD Testing

• Copper grounding strips and conductive adhesive are installed, followed by the ESD PVC flooring. After curing, the system is finished and tested for surface resistance and grounding continuity to ensure compliance with ESD standards.

For Daily Cleaning

• The layer of dirt on the floor acts as an insulator, hindering the proper dissipation of static electricity to the ground. Sweep or use an ESD-safe vacuum daily. Avoid wax-based, oil-based, or highly alkaline cleaning agents, as they may interfere with ESD performance.

Deep Cleaning & Scrubbing

• A floor scrubber fitted with soft, non-abrasive pads operating at low speed would be great. After scrubbing, always rinse thoroughly with clean cold water to remove any detergent residue. Newly installed ESD flooring should be left for at least 4–5 days to allow the adhesive to cure before wet maintenance.

Maintenance Do's & Don'ts

• Avoid bleach, ammonia, strong alkaline cleaners, and abrasive pads like steel wool, as they can damage the surface.
• Waxing is usually unnecessary and may interfere with the conductive layer.
• Always use soft casters and clean spills immediately to prevent surface damage.
