Electro-Static Dissipative (ESD) Resin Flooring Experts
Specialist ESD flooring solutions for environments where static control is critical - installed by experts with over 20 years of experience.
Where Would You Use Electro-Static Dissipative Resin Flooring?
Electrostatic dissipative (ESD) resin floors are made to control static electricity in environments where it can pose risks. These include electronics manufacturing, healthcare facilities, laboratories and clean rooms. They are also used in places with sensitive equipment, such as the automotive, aeronautical, medical, and oil and chemical processing industries.
Applications in Electronics, Healthcare, and Labs
ESD resin floors are critical in environments where static electricity can damage sensitive equipment, disrupt processes, or create safety hazards.
Electronics Manufacturing and Assembly: Protects microchips, PCBs, and semiconductors from static discharge; ESD-safe flooring, mats, and workstations prevent damage during soldering, assembly, and handling of components.
Healthcare Facilities and Medical Labs: Ensures the safety of patients and equipment by preventing static buildup that could interfere with diagnostic machines, robotic surgical tools, and sensitive medical devices like pacemakers and infusion pumps.
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 metres. 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.
How ESD Flooring Works
Electro static discharge generated by people and equipment can damage sensitive devices, but the resin flooring safely controls and dissipates it.
1. Static Charge Is Drawn From People and Equipment
Electro static dissipative flooring safely collects discharge generated by personnel, tools, and sensitive devices in the workspace.
2. Charge Travels Through a Conductive Resin Layer
The static electricity flows through the ESD flooring’s conductive resin layer, creating a controlled path to grounding.
3. Discharged Safely to a Grounded Point
The collected charge is routed safely to a designated grounding point, preventing accumulation and hazards.
4. Prevents Equipment Damage, Sparks, and Contamination
By controlling static electricity, ESD flooring helps maintain operational efficiency and protects valuable devices and processes.
The numerous benefits to businesses
Investing in ESD resin flooring offers businesses several practical and financial benefits, as it protects sensitive equipment, ensures compliance, improves safety, and enhances durability and long-term operational efficiency.
Static Control Properties
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.
Protection of Sensitive Environments
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.
Durability and Functionality
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.
Compliance and Standards
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.
Customisation and Aesthetics
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.
Long-Term Cost Savings
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.
Environmental Considerations
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.
