Why Wax an ESD Floor?
ESD
floor finish provides protection, fights scuff marks
and extends the life of
your static control floor!
Like you, an esd floor works hard for it's
living. Unlike you (we hope), ESD flooring needs to
perform flawlessly often 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Conventional wisdom from the esd flooring material manufacturers
dictate that their materials do not require (in fact they do not
recommend) using any type of esd floor wax.
|
Unfortunately,
this
outdated "conventional wisdom"
hasn't had to maintain a floor in
a real world manufacturing environment! |
Past
reasons for not using an esd floor finish primarily focused on the
somewhat large increase in resistance levels that many of the older
formulations achieved. Newer formulations are tailored to provide
resistance levels compliant with the latest EOS ESD 2020 guidelines,
providing only marginal decreases in conductivity and (generally speaking)
only providing these decreases to flooring materials that start out
in the conductive range (<1.0E06 electrical resistance to ground per S7.1). ESD and static control
flooring that falls in the static dissipative range (>1.0E06
<1.0E09) will typically see slight increases in conductivity.

- Protects your flooring and investment
- Reduces maintenance cost.
- Dramatically
extends the floors life cycle.
- Heel scuff marks
are easy to remove (for a change).
- Reduces tribocharging.
- Seals all seams and porosity.
- Can improve chemical resistance.
- High gloss for
extremely clean, high tech appearance.

Reductions in tribocharging (as well as
increases in the floor finishes conductivity) are further enhanced by
high speed polishing of the finish. It's important to note that
modifications to the floors conductivity will be minimal with typical
ambient relative humidity conditions prevalent in most manufacturing
environments, therefore it's best to fully evaluate this unique floor finish in your
environment under your operating and load conditions. Check your
specifications and test your floors electrical conductivity
prior to applying small 2'x2' test patches. Apply the
finish according to
our recommendations in area's that receive the most abuse
possible. Evaluate the product for visual performance against wear,
electrical conductivity and ease of application. Remember "all static
control floor finishes are not created equal" (contrary to what
your local floor maintenance supplier may tell you). Thorough
evaluation and the right product will yield dramatic results. |

In this photo it's EASY to see where the
ElectraGlaze ESD wax (and protection) starts.
A pencil (as well as heel straps) leave an easy to
see (hard to remove) scuff mark on the untreated
Forbo ESD flooring surface but NOT where
ElectraGlaze starts. |
