Electrically conductive floor coatings are often a marginal issue in planning \u2013 until functional disruptions or quality losses occur in the process. In electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical, or automotive industries, even minor electrostatic discharges can lead to damage to products and components, as well as quality problems in the further process.<\/p>\n

This makes an ESD floor system all the more important, one that is not only planned according to standards but also designed to suit the use, the substrate, and future operation.<\/p>\n

Conductive systems help building owners and operators minimize risks and sustainably ensure the protection of sensitive technologies.<\/p>\n

In practice, however, weaknesses in planning, execution, or use repeatedly emerge, which can prevent the required dissipative capacity from being achieved permanently.<\/p>\n","width":"8","background_color_text":"bg-none","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

Insufficiently prepared or incorrectly assessed substrates<\/strong><\/p>\n

In particular, increased residual moisture, missing or insufficient mechanical preparation (grinding\/shot blasting), or contamination impair the adhesion of the primer and can permanently disrupt the electrical conductivity in the coating system.<\/p>\n","width":"3","background_color_text":"bg-gray-light","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

Missing or faulty earthing connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missing connection points, insufficient contact, or faulty execution of grounding measures represent a weak point in the ESD system and prevent reliable dissipation of electrostatic charges.<\/p>\n","width":"3","background_color_text":"bg-gray-light","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mismatched components within the overall system<\/strong><\/p>\n

If individual components such as primer, conductive layers, and coating are selected in isolation or not technically coordinated, errors occur in the system build-up and also do not guarantee reliable dissipation of charges.<\/p>\n","width":"3","background_color_text":"bg-gray-light","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lack of consideration for future use and cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

If usage and cleaning processes are not included in the planning early on, a loss of function often occurs gradually. Reasons for this can be mechanical stress, incorrect cleaning agents, or unsuitable maintenance procedures \u2013 see also our coordinated cleaning and maintenance recommendation<\/a><\/p>\n","width":"3","background_color_text":"bg-gray-light","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"","width":"12","background_color_text":"bg-none","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"

Our Role in Planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a manufacturer, we support architects, specialist planners, and building owners in selecting suitable conductive KLB coating systems.<\/p>\n

Our technical advisors will guide you through this process \u2013 with the aim of creating planning certainty and designing systems that function permanently under real conditions, not just in the tender.<\/p>\n","width":"6","background_color_text":"bg-none","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Our Role in Execution<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Especially with ESD systems, the quality of execution determines the actual function. Errors in preparation, processing, or detailed design can hardly be corrected afterwards.<\/p>\n

If required, our KLB application engineers will support you \u2013 from substrate assessment to assistance with critical details such as grounding connection and system build-up.<\/p>\n","width":"6","background_color_text":"bg-none","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"","width":"12","background_color_text":"bg-none","border_color":"border-none"},{"text":"
