Epoxy flooring has numerous different and specialized applications for a variety of personal, commercial, and industrial purposes. We sell and install many different types of custom epoxy from our in-house product line, Rez-Stone. And some of our most popular and most specialized are our static control (spark-resistant/static-dissipating) Rez-Stone epoxies, which are helpful where electrostatic discharging properties are needed.
As the name implies, static control epoxy helps mitigate the amount of static electricity build-up in any given environment. Static electricity build-up can be a major hazard in environments where flammable substances are present. This type of epoxy is ideal for industrial settings where things like oil, gas, and other combustibles are around which could be ignited, as well as areas with sensitive electronics that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
How Does Static Control Epoxy Work?
Static Control epoxy works by dissipating the build-up of static in the air as it itself is conductive. It enables static charges to flow harmlessly through itself and be safely discharged into the ground below.
Of course, these types of epoxies also have the benefits of other epoxies as well, such as being impact-resistant, chemical resistant, easy to clean, and overall, greatly increasing the life span of your base floor underneath. Also, let us know if your static-dissipating epoxy could benefit from more of these resistances, like abrasions, heavy traffic, or even more harmful chemical spills.
Why are Static Control Epoxies Becoming More Popular?
Static control epoxies have become increasingly popular in recent years due to the growing demand for electrostatic discharge protection in a variety of industries. Static control epoxies help prevent any issues by safely dissipating static charges and reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge.
Overall, static control epoxies provide a safe and reliable solution for controlling electrostatic discharge and protecting sensitive equipment and materials. As a result, they have become an increasingly popular choice for a wide range of industries, including electronics manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and more. Battery plants have been a huge area of growth recently as the demand for electronic vehicles increases. Many large companies are turning to Hoover & Wells to help them solve these problems.
