Tame the Static Beast Before it Takes another Byte!
ElectraGuard Elite ESD Flooring for Static Control Perfect for covering concrete, VCT, Epoxy and low performance (anti-static) vinyl esd floors!
Today's reality dictates an increasingly daunting task. Electrostatic thresholds are dropping significantly requiring an unprecedented, higher level of static control flooring performance at a time when funding has become more of an issue. Now (more than ever) ESD flooring must be selected by proven long term performance, electrical reliability and installed cost. In addition, esd flooring must meet the newest standards of ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 and be positioned to meets standards yet to be written. It must be easy to maintain, capable of handling a multitude of traffic, be aesthetically pleasing and never NEVER stop working. At United we provide the most extensive selection of static control flooring in the industry. It's up to our clients and the industries they represent to select the most popular. ElectraGuard is our most popular option and for very good reasons.
You can pay more but you'll never find a better hard surface ESD floor!
ElectraGuard was originally invented for use in DOD munitions applications and first put to work for esd control at General Dynamics in 1992. Over the years it was further refined with patented advancements in structural integrity. Now? ElectraGuard Elite is exclusive to United ESD. With no coating failures, loss of conductivity or wear performance issues since it's inception, ElectraGuard is a proven performer at a realistic price. Other ESD floor paints are latex / acrylic based and may show signs of coating failure after a mere 2 years. Not so with ElectraGuard. ElectraGuard - Wear characteristics far superior to mere solvent based urethanes and latex paints, rivaling those of thick set esd epoxy flooring without the associated toxicity, disposal considerations and environmental impact. ElectraGuard - Powerful permanent conductivity and (unlike most esd vinyl floors) is capable of handling forklift and other heavy duty industrial traffic. Leave "as is" for low glare matt finish or top coat with ElectraThane Sealer followed by ElectraGlaze ESD Floor Finish (the ElectraGuard Tri-Layer Full System) for a diamond like shine and ultimate wear resistance. . ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE, TESTING BY UNITED ESD:
Double Click Charts to Expand APPLICATION OVERVIEW: New concrete substrates should be allowed to cure for at least sixty days prior to application of this product. Applications to floors colder than 60 0 F is not recommended. Sweep and vacuum flooring substrate. If contaminated mop with, a neutral degreaser to remove oil, grease and soil. For exceedingly smooth troweled concrete, concrete that does not readily absorb water, sealed concrete or concrete coated with parting compounds the concrete may be etched with standard concrete etching solutions diluted per manufacturers recommendations, thoroughly rinse with water and allow to dry overnight. Etching may generally be replaced by screen disking or sanding (80 grit pads or rougher) If substrate has been previously coated, a small area should be cleaned and roughed up by a screen disking with a 80 grit screen. Test ElectraGuard for adhesion, lifting etc. Any areas of the existing coating which display poor adhesion should be stripped. Wash the stripped areas, acid and rinse thoroughly. Allow the floor to dry. Catalyzed ElectraGuard should be used within six hours of mixing, therefore prepare only the quantity necessary for immediate use. Add the pre-measured catalyst to epoxy base. Stir gently until the catalyst has been thoroughly mixed in. Allow catalyzed mixture to stand 5 minutes. Apply catalyzed material with a short nap roller in thin uniform coats. The initial coat will cover approximately 250 to 500 ft 2 per gallon. Second coat coverage is approximately 400 to 600 ft 2 per gallon. A third coat provides optimum esthetics and is highly receomended. Note: United recommends the use of soft chair casters or Titanium Mats (for hard chair casters) when rolling chairs directly over this product and all hard surface esd flooring. Soft chair casters look like hard casters but have a rubberized coating on the wheel. ElectraGuard ESD Epoxy is a thin set epoxy (approximately 3 to 7 mil thickness) much tougher and longer lasting than ESD paints. Due to it's reduced solids count and thin set benefits ElectraGuard may exhibit slight variances in texture and color depending on the substrate of application. These variances do not affect the excellent electrical performance or wear characteristics. This product is available in gray, light gray, beige and tan colors and features a non glare finish. Note see full application instructions prior to use. TYPICAL MAINTENANCE: 1) Dust Mop Daily.
2) Damp mop weekly using a diluted solution of ElectraClean and water. Note: Never use plain water or other floor cleaning chemicals as this may leave an insulative residue.
3) Auto Scrub every two months or as needed to remove ground in dirt and contaminants, start with using the lightest pad available.
4) As needed: high speed polish using a white or champagne colored pad and ElectraShine polishing spray.
5) As needed (about every year or two). Follow the ESD floor care procedure as listed at: How to maintain an esd floor SPECIFICATION OVERVIEW:
