The manufacturing of sophisticated energetics may create dust. To eliminate the hazardous accumulation of this type of material it is imperative that an esd floor be seam free with a smooth profile. Minor deviations such as expansion joints, saw cuts and other imperfections may be filled prior to installation of an esd floor covering material. The following method is used successfully to create a smoother profile. A seam free floor with a smoother profile is much easier to keep clean, provides the ultimate in esthetics and provides excellent stability with rolling loads (such as carts and trolleys).

1) Remove loose and broken concrete

Concrete repair for esd floors remove broken concrete first

Remove dust and debris.

Vacuum, Sweep, Vacuum

Use oil free sweeping compounds if needed.

 

 

 

 

2) Apply Mapei Plani-Patch

Skim coat and or fill imperfections in esd floor substrate

Mix small quantities of Mapei with water to the consistency of pancake batter using a rotary mixer. Add a small amount of latex for smoother troweling. Trowel using concrete finishing trowel. Allow to dry completely before proceeding. Large Photo

 

 

3) Lightly Sand Profile

Lightly sand area to receive esd flooringTypically use a coarse sanding disk or open screen disk. Reapply Mapei in low spots if needed. Lightly re sand. Sweep and vacuum thoroughly. Use oil free sweeping compounds if needed. No dust should show on your palm when you run it across the  concrete. Feel the substrate, if smooth proceed to the next step. Large Photo Full Area

 

 

4) Apply One Coat of ElectraGuard ESD Epoxy Floor Paint. Follow our directions!

Expect imperfections on first coatAllow to cure for 24 hours. Expect the coating to not look acceptable for a finished product. Areas of concrete repair will shadow thru the coating. Lightly sand (do not sand thru coating). Thoroughly sweep and vacuum. Use oil free sweeping compounds if needed.

 

 

5) Apply One Coat of ElectraBond to Sanded and Cleaned ElectraGuard

Apply ElectraBond to first coat of ESD Floor Paint
