ELECTRAGUARD ESD EPOXY SPECIFICATIONS

Mission Critical Conductive Floor Paint


PRODUCT HISTORY AND
OVERVIEW: Our ElectraGuard ESD
Epoxy was originally designed for use
in providing static control for munitions
applications in 1992. Over the years it
has been further refined with patented
advancements in structural integrity,
conductivity and chemical resistance.
ElectraGuard is a proven performer at
a realistic price. ElectraGuard is a true
two part epoxy. Unlike mere latex or
one part epoxy floor paints that may last a year or two, our ElectraGuard High Gloss System
provides outstanding longevity and a ten year life expectancy. The system is well suited for
application on a variety of flooring substrates including concrete, existing well bonded VCT,
standard and antistatic vinyl tiles, steel, vinyl sheet goods and wooden subfloors. ElectraGuard
may be applied with a roller or with an airless paint sprayer making it an excellent choice for use
on walls, ceilings, bench tops, equipment racks and more.

ElectraGuard ESD Epoxy meets or exceeds the latest most stringent standards for Mission
Critical Static Control. And, unlike ESD tiles, ElectraGuard is seamless for the optimum removal
of dust and powder contaminants. Tiles rely on a random pattern of conductive elements
interspersed in an insulative vinyl and a conductive adhesive to bridge the gaps between the
tiles. Unlike ESD tiles our ElectraGuard features an amorphous electrical conductivity for 100%
conductive contact with footwear and superior static control performance. This same amorphous
conductivity makes it an excellent choice for shielding as well as static control. Tiles become
slippery when wet where as ElectraGuard features inherent anti-slip properties. The electrical
conductivity may be tailored for compliance to the recent DOD 4145.26-M standards. Leave "as
is" for a low glare matte finish or top coat with ElectraThane, ElectraGlaze or ElectraSheen
Sapphire for a diamond like shine, ultimate wear resistance and an ESD floor that consistently
meets the latest ANSI ESD S 20.20-2007 / 2014 standards without fail.
