Not Protecting ESD Floorings Can Result in
High-Cost Maintenance
Implementing and improving ESD protection is an ongoing process for many companies. Selecting
the correct ESD flooring is critical. However, maintaining that floor can be costly.
In addition to the technical requirements of an ESD floor, the ability to keep a bright,
high-gloss appearance is often part of the selection criterion. If a floor is being maintained like a regular (non-ESD)
floor, often no waxes or finishes are used per the tile manufacturer's recommendation; however, the flooring manufacturer
may recommend using buffing pads or other maintenance techniques.
Depending on the size of the floor and floor traffic, the maintenance costs will be significant,
especially if part of the goal of an ESD floor is to keep it looking shiny.
Floor Finish Benefits
When thinking about using a dissipative floor finish with ESD flooring, a
company's goals
often include:
• Maintain the electrical properties of the ESD floor.
• A clean, bright, and shiny floor appearance.
• Reduce the floor maintenance costs.
A dissipative floor finish, such as Desco Europe Dissipative Floor Finish,
will
improve the gloss, reduce costs and enhance the electrical properties of the
existing ESD floor tile.
