Why is Epoxy coating anti-static?
In order to ensure the safety of the production process, to protect workers and their property, factories now require strict anti-static processes.
Electrostatic discharge can render sensitive electronic components useless, so organizations involved in the manufacture or assembly of semiconductors or electronics need antistatic floors.
Epoxy construction method antistatic
Step 1. Prepare the surface
- The concrete floor surface is level, clean, free of dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the entire concrete surface.
Step 2: Apply primer on the entire surface.
Step 3: Apply self-leveling epoxy coating about 2mm.
Step 4: Put the copper tape
A strip of copper of the required width and thickness is set. The butter paper is first removed and the sticky side of the copper tape is kept in contact. Stick the self-adhesive copper strip to the primed surface at a distance of 1 to 4 meters together, vertically and in width
It is a natural black three-component self-balancing system. Base coat should be applied after priming dries (usually after 6 – 8 hours. Since priming).
Step 6: Apply epoxy paint to finish antistatic
After a new layer of coating time, using the floor area measuring device. Check whether the floor surface quality has eliminated the accumulated current or not
What is antistatic epoxy floor?
Anti-static industrial floors prevent the generation of static electricity or ESD, which is an impulse of static electricity that occurs when a person or a charged surface comes into contact with another object. The discharge can be seen as a small blue spark or spark, although most of the electrostatic charge is usually not as obvious.
Electrostatic discharge (conducting) can be very dangerous and even catastrophic. In such cases, installing antistatic floors is an essential step in creating a safe environment for workers.
How does antistatic flooring help?
Almost any movement in the environment will contribute to the generation of static electricity, even if it is a familiar step on the carpet in the office. The daily movement of vehicles or heavy equipment on the floor or the repetitive movement of automatic factory parts.
The majority of electrostatic discharges are below 3,500 volts and are completely undetectable to everyone. However, anti-static floors are capable of capturing all of those charges and grounding them before they cause a reaction.
