ESD conductivity for protecting electronic components
ESD-conductive flooring in the production hall of company Inpotron.
Assignment and requirements
In the electronic’s production and manufacturing area of Inpotron, the industrial floor coating meets current ESD requirements according to DIN EN 61340-5-1. The top priority is to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge.
Particularities and challenges
An ESD-dissipative floor covering is the guarantee for intact products in both new construction and renovation projects. In addition, employees are protected from electrostatic discharge.
The water vapour-permeable system also allows rising damp from the heated concrete slab to be transported upwards. For a good indoor climate, the build-up only contains low-VOC products. The covering is easy to clean taking into consideration our respective cleaning and maintenance recommendation for conductive floors.
The solution
The priming coat EP 782 E Spachtelgrund was applied on top of the very adhesive universal primer EP 724 E Haftgrund Super to level the substrate. This levelling layer creates the basis for a pore-closed surface.
Together with copper tape KLB-Kupferband, EP 799 Ableitgrund forms the cross-conductible base coat. This is followed by a flow coating using EP 785 EL+ and a final matt sealant PU 813 EL+/ESD in the colour approx. RAL 7035, which gives a homogeneous surface appearance.
