In today’s technology-driven world, electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a significant risk to sensitive electronic components and equipment. To address this concern, businesses across various technological industries are turning to static control technology flooring solutions. 

Our COAT Systems specialized epoxy or urethane technology flooring solutions are designed to mitigate the risks of static electricity, providing a safe and efficient environment for critical operations.

Electrostatic discharge occurs when there is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electric potentials. It can happen when people or objects come into contact, or even during the movement of non-conductive materials. ESD poses a serious threat to sensitive electronic components, as even a small discharge can cause irreversible damage.

• Device damage: The most common effect of ESD is damage to electronic components. ESD can cause immediate failure or long-term degradation of the affected components, leading to malfunctions or complete device failure.
• Data loss: ESD incidents can corrupt data stored in electronic devices, leading to data loss or data corruption. In critical systems like data storage devices or servers, data loss can have severe consequences.
• Reduced performance: Even if ESD doesn’t cause immediate damage, it can reduce the performance of electronic devices. Sensitive circuits can become less efficient or less reliable after exposure to ESD.
• Reduced lifespan: Repeated exposure to ESD can reduce the overall lifespan of electronic devices. Components may degrade faster over time, leading to premature failure.
• Costly repairs and downtime: Repairing or replacing damaged electronic components can be expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, ESD incidents can lead to downtime in critical systems, causing disruptions in operations.
• Safety hazards: In certain situations, ESD can pose safety hazards to users. For example, in explosive environments or medical settings, ESD can ignite flammable substances or interfere with sensitive medical equipment.
• Quality control issues: ESD can impact the quality and reliability of manufactured electronic products. Manufacturers need to implement proper ESD control measures to ensure product quality.
• Warranty void: ESD damage can void warranties, leaving users responsible for repair or replacement costs.
• Interference with communication: ESD can cause interference with communication signals in devices like radios or wireless communication equipment.
• System failure cascade: In complex systems, ESD-induced failure in one component can lead to a cascade of failures, affecting the entire system.

In industries where sensitive electronic equipment and devices are used, such as electronics manufacturing, laboratories and data centers, static control is of utmost importance. Our static control technology flooring solutions provide a controlled path for static electricity to flow safely to the ground, preventing these ESD incidents.

• How epoxy technology flooring solutions work for ESD protection

  Our epoxy technology flooring solutions are composed of epoxy resins and hardeners, creating a durable and chemically resistant surface. These floors contain conductive particles that allow static electricity to dissipate harmlessly. The conductivity can be adjusted to suit the specific requirements of the facility.
