ELECTRAGUARD ESD EPOXY SPECIFICATIONS
Mission Critical Conductive Floor Paint
Click Here for this document in a PDF format
  PRODUCT
HISTORY AND OVERVIEW:
ElectraGuard was originally invented for use in
DOD munitions applications in 1992. Over the
years it has been further refined with patented
advancements in structural integrity.
ElectraGuard is exclusive to United SCP and a
proven performer at a realistic price.
ElectraGuard is a two
part epoxy. Unlike mere latex or one part epoxy
floor paints that may last a year or two the
ElectraGuard System provides outstanding
longevity (many clients report a 10 year service
life and the product may easily be recoated if
ever needed). The
system is well suited for application on a
variety of substrates including concrete, wood, well bonded standard vinyl tiles
and more.
The ElectraGuard ESD
Epoxy Floor Paint System meets or exceeds
the latest most stringent standards of
electrical conductivity and Tribocharge
reduction.
Leave "as is" for low glare matte finish or top coat
with ElectraThane and or ElectraGlaze for a diamond like shine and
ultimate wear resistance.

* Please Note:
The above readings are reflective of three
coats applied to concrete and allowed to
cure for a 3 week period prior to testing.
Highly Insulative or conductive substrates such as
ceramic or steel, high humidity (damp) concrete,
ambient humidity, grounding techniques and
coating thickness may alter your final
results. Always pretest the coating to your
internal specifications in a small
inconspicuous area prior to full scale
application. Resistance values may be easily adjusted upwards
with additional coats of ElectraThane or
ElectraGuard NC (rolled with a 1/4" nap
roller). This process will
allow the system to fall in the static
dissipative range of
>1.0E06 and <1.0E09.
