Electro Static Dissipative Epoxy Floor Coating
Ultra High Solids ESD/Conductive Epoxy Floor
Epoxy.com Product #1ESD
Description
Electrostatic Dissipative Epoxy Coating for ESD Epoxy Flooring - Product #1-ESD is an ultra high solids bis-A epoxy floor coating designed to provide electrostatic control properties to various surfaces including concrete or other nonconductive substrates. The use of a conductive primer will transmit conductive readings through ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) Epoxy Coating for ESD Flooring Epoxy.com Product #1 if applied no thicker than 15 mils.
ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) Epoxy Coating for ESD Flooring Epoxy.com Product #1-ESD provides excellent bond to concrete as well as high impact and wear.
Advantage
- Easy Application
- Dissipates a 5000 volt Charge to Zero in less than 0.1 Seconds @72°F and 12%RH.
- Available in Static Dissipative Range of 1,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 ohms per EOS/ESD Standards.
- Can be made Conductive (100,000 to 1,000,000 OHMS by priming with Product #668
- Consistent Electrical Resistance Ratings When Tested at 10-500 Volts.
- High Gloss
- Good Abrasion Resistance.
- Easy to Clean..
Considerations
- Test for moisture vapor transmission using anhydrous calcium chloride test as per ASTM F-1869 and/or situ RH probe testing per ASTM F-2107. Maximum MVT is 3 pounds per 1000 SF per 24 hour period. Above these values use Product #100MR Moisture Tolerant Epoxy Primer and Basecoat or Product #830 Moisture Vapor Epoxy treatment.
- Substrates Temperatures must be a minimum of 55-60°F. and a maximum of 85°F.
- Relative Humidity (RH) should be between 30% and 85%. Substrate must be 5°F above the measured dew point.
- Substrate must be clean and free of Dirt, waxes, curing agents and any other foreign material that will interfere with bonding. See Epoxy.com Surface Preparation Guide for more details.

Application
Surface Preparation
Surface preparation is considered to be the most important step of any resinous flooring application. Improper surface preparation could turn what seems to be a simple process into a lengthy, difficult repair. See Epoxy.com Surface Preparation Guide for proper surface preparation procedures. When in doubt you should always contact Epoxy.com Technical Support with your questions.
Installation
Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) Epoxy Floor Coating - Product #1-ESD is normally spread with a trowel or squeegee and back-rolled with a 3/8" medium nap roller. Care should be taken to minimize the entrapment of air caused by over rolling.
Clean Up
Clean skin with soap and water. Tools and equipment should be cleaned with xylene or lacquer thinner.
Coverage
ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) Epoxy Coating for ESD Flooring - Product #1ESD will yield 12-15 mils when spread at 100-130 sq ft/gal. 15 mils is considered the maximum thickness.
Maintenance
After completing the application of ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative) Epoxy Coating for ESD Flooring - Product #1ESD, the installer should provide the owner with maintenance instructions relevant to the specific topcoats or floor covering. If floors become slippery due to animal fats, oil, grease, or soap film, clean and rinse thoroughly.
