RI 2.0 Conductive Dry Adhesive
ESD Flooring installations with no messy glue, no VOCs and minimal downtime
RI 2.0 conductive dry adhesive simplifies ESD flooring installations in 24/7 operational spaces, such as labs, cleanrooms, server rooms, data centers and electronics manufacturing facilities. RI 2.0 can be installed without concern for odors or VOC content and without using mixing equipment, trowels or messy wet adhesives and can be installed with minimal downtime.
In labs and cleanrooms, used with Eclipse EC (electrically conductive) rubber, LabCon ESD vinyl or AmeriWorx large format tiles, the ESD material works as both a floor and integral flash cove. Seams can be welded, providing a seamless installation, for a particle-free environment. There are no wet or messy adhesives to deal with and the new floor can be used or walked on immediately after installation, minimizing costly production losses.
RI 2.0 Dry Adhesive - StaticWorx RapidInstall System – For Consistent, Predictable, Seamless Installation with Minimal Downtime
With RI 2.0 dry conductive adhesive there is no messy wet adhesive to worry about. By eliminating the variables, RI 2.0 adhesive takes the guesswork out of flooring installations. RI 2.0 is quick, clean and easy to install, for a consistent, predictable, seamless installation every time. And the floor can be opened to traffic immediately after it is installed. Because it requires minimal downtime RI 2.0 dry adhesive also minimizes costly production losses.

The Problem With Overlooking Installation
When selecting an ESD floor, if you view flooring as a standalone product you may fail to consider how the floor will be installed and what sorts of challenges your installation team may encounter.
Unsatisfactory installations typically occur due to unpredictable or overlooked variables, such as moisture in the concrete, or cracked, broken, chemically scored or uneven subfloors, to cite some common examples.
The best way to avoid installation failure is for the method to be as easy and predictable as possible.
Issues Differ By Application
The types of issues to consider differ by application. A facilities manager for an electronics company may be most concerned with moisture issues in the concrete, for instance, and about the condition of the subfloor. For cleanroom installations, specifiers should consider whether or not the installation method will produce a particle-free environment – on the surface as well between seams and around wall coving. In many cases, an adhesive like RI 2.0 can allow you to leave the filters operating during the installation.
People sometimes dance around these potential pitfalls by relying on quick-fix solutions, such as injection-molded click-together floors. These types of floors often contain Red List chemicals such as PVC, halogenated flame retardants, and phthalates. Sometimes these floors do not lay flat or lock together tightly; this provides opportunity for the collection of FOD. Some of these plasticizer-based floors outgas and contaminate microelectronic and optical parts. Many construction material outgassing tests only monitor building materials at ambient temperatures.
Best practice in cleanrooms and labs is to specify seamless floors from manufacturers who provide reports such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy FTIR results for space-grade cleanrooms applications like NASA.
The Solution: StaticWorx RI 2.0 Dry Adhesive
StaticWorx Rapid Install System, Quick, Easy and Predictable
StaticWorx RI 2.0 dry conductive adhesive is quick and easy to install, with no messy adhesives, no VOCs and no outgassing. RI 2.0 can go right over problem subfloors, including concrete with up to 80% moisture. Simply repair any cracks or blemishes, roll the RI 2.0 adhesive over the subfloor, lay the ESD flooring material over the dry-adhesive sheet, roll with a hand-roller, and the floor is ready for traffic.
With RI 2.0 adhesive, ESD floors can be installed 24/7 in occupied spaces with minimal downtime. For cleanrooms and labs, seam-welding the flooring material produces a clean, monolithic surface that’s contaminant- and particulate-free throughout the installation.
Compatible with vinyl or rubber tile and sheets.
