PART THREE: EXECUTION
3.1
EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrate to receive
static control coating system. Notify Architect if substrate is
unacceptable. Do not begin preparation or application until
conditions are acceptable.
B. Pre-application
Product Testing: Mask off a 36" x 36" test area. Apply
three thin
coats of ElectraSeal. Optional: Follow with one thin coat of ElectraGlaze
Allow the coating (s) to cure for
at least 24 hours. Pre-test material bond strength to substrate
per ElectraSeal product instructions. Test Electrical
conductivity to ANSI/ESD STM7.1-2020 - Point to Point Electrical
Resistance, flooring. Contact manufacturer should results exceed
>1.0E09 Ohms.
C. Moisture Testing of Concrete Slab: Prior to
installation, test the concrete slab in accordance with ASTM
D4263. This test involves taping an 18” x 18” polyethylene sheet
to the concrete subfloor and then waiting at least 16 hours
prior to collecting the results. Visible condensation on the
bottom of the sheet or darkening of the concrete indicates
excessive moisture. Test the concrete’s pH level in this area.
The pH levels shall be between 7 and 10. Should testing indicate
excessive vapor emissions or inappropriate pH levels contact
United Static Control Products prior to proceeding with the
application.
D. Ensure new
concrete has the following properties:
1) Maximum water/cement ratio of 0.45
2) Cured 60 days at a minimum of 60 degrees F.
3) Minimum compressive strength of 3,500 PSI.
4) Minimum tensile strength of 200 PSI.
3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
| Specifier Notes: A
properly prepared substrate is essential for successful
application. Contaminants, dust and sealers of an
unknown origin may inhibit bonding of coating to
substrate. |
A. Prepare substrates in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions.
B. Ensure substrate is clean, free of dirt, oil,
grease, wax and other compounds which may inhibit bonding of
ElectraSeal to substrate.
C. Repair cracked and
eroded concrete in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Remove and repair unsound substrates.
3.3
APPLICATION
A. Mask all encumbrances such as
existing wall base and columns prior to application of coatings
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B.
Install electrical grounding foil in accordance with
manufacturer's recommended grounding methods as is shown
here. Use two ground connections for smalls areas (<3,000
square feet) and one additional ground connection for every
3,000 square feet thereafter.
C.
Ensure that concrete or other substrate is visibly dry.
D. ElectraSeal is designed for use as supplied. Do not add thinners to any component of this
conductive floor coating system.
E. Apply 1st coat of ElectraSeal to prepared concrete per
manufacturers recommended guidelines. Do not over apply - apply
a thin even coat. Allow to cure for at least 2 hours prior to proceeding.
NOTE: When applied in environments with an ambient
humidity in excess or 80% rH, increase the drying time between
coats to at least 4 hours while maintaining the suggested
ambient application temperature of 60 degrees F.
F. Apply 2nd coat of ElectraSeal per manufacturers recommended
guidelines. Do not over apply - apply a thin even coat. Allow to cure at least
2 to 4 hours prior to proceeding.
F: Apply 3rd coat of ElectraSeal per manufacturers recommended
guidelines. Do not over apply - apply a thin even coat. Allow to cure at least
4 hours prior to proceeding.
G. OPTIONAL: Apply one thin coat of ElectraGlaze per
manufacturer's instructions. Allow coatings 1 hour to dry before subjecting to
foot traffic and 24 hours prior to subjecting to moderate
forklift traffic.
3.4 TESTING
A. Test the flooring for compliance to ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 per test method
ANSI/ESD STM7.1-2020, Flooring Systems Resistive
Characterization, section 6.2 Product Acceptance of Installed or
Applied Flooring Systems (electrical resistance point to point and
electrical resistance to ground).
B. Optional: Compliance Verification per ESD TR53, Page 6, Table
2 Personnel Grounding Requirement per TR53 Footwear Section.
3.5 PROTECTION
A. The ElectraSeal system gains hardness and conductivity
during a curing phase lasting 48 hours. Protect
floor coating system while curing and especially during move in
of heavy equipment.
