Welcome to the StaticWorx Learning Center

Specifying the wrong ESD floor can cause flooring failure & result in production shutdown. Learn what specifiers need to know to avoid costly mistakes.

Without special footwear, some ESD floors cannot prevent static discharge. Learn why, how options differ, and how footwear interacts with flooring materials.

Most ESD flooring failures stem from these 7 common but avoidable mistakes. Find out what they are and how you can easily escape common pitfalls.

To comply with relevant ESD standards, test electrical properties using methods outlined in ESD S20.20.

ESD Floors should never be specified based on the descriptive terms conductive or static dissipative. Always base ESD specs on verifiable metrics.

If the vapor barrier fails to adhere to the subfloor, tiles will lift. Bond test and manufacturer oversight are crucial to ESD floor installation success.

Vapor in the subfloor can cause even floors in arid climates to fail. This episode addresses moisture problems and how to avoid costly rework down the road.

In this episode of Static Bursts, Dave and Rick discuss the key criteria for selecting an ESD floor: application, aesthetics, installation and maintenance. First of two part special.

Pairing the wrong ESD floor/application can lead to flooring failure. We explain factors to consider, why each is important, and how to avoid mistakes.

Grounding an ESD floor is straightforward and easy. Conductive adhesive eliminates the need for expensive copper equipotential grounding grids of the past.

Whether an ESD floor is conductive or dissipative—measured by testing electrical resistance—is too often used to predict the performance of an ESD floor.

ESD flooring materials should always be tested and qualified as an ESD flooring system – i.e. in combination with a person and the footwear designated for the space.
