Antistatic Flooring Solutions.

Sensitive electronic environments are also catered for by OSC. With our seamless Antistatic flooring range we offer safe flooring solutions that keep electrical charges earthed. What is more, a large number of our flooring systems can be tailored to meet antistatic grades on request.

Utilising the latest in seamless resin flooring technology our electrostatic dissipating (ESD) Systems are second to none in sensitive environments.

Our systems have been specially formulated to disperse static electricity, which is ideal for clean rooms or environments where sensitive components, gas, solvents or even explosives are handled such as in the electronics manufacturing industry or chemical processing sector.

O.S.C. supplies a wide range of static control flooring such as :

1. ESD work Conductive PVC floor for clean room and electronic area with surface resistance 10⁴-10⁶ ohm/sqr.
2. Static dissipative epoxy self-leveling for electronic areas and heavy duty areas with surface resistance 10⁶-10⁹ohm/sqr.
3. Conductive epoxy self-leveling for electronic areas and explosion proof areas with surface resistance 10⁴-10⁶ohm/sqr.
4. - Static dissipative epoxy paint for electronic areas and light duty areas with surface resistance 10⁶-10⁹ ohm/sqr.

Component Sensitivity Predicted to Drop to as Little as 25 Volts -

The internal protection devices used in earlier electronics designs created robust components. But those protections slowed circuit speed, inhibiting the production of faster, more capable components. The trade off for today's faster, higher performance devices is an increased vulnerability to electrical interference. Industry experts predict that component sensitivity, once well over 1000 Volts, will soon drop to as little as 25 Volts. To safely and dependably manufacture, handle or use these faster, more capable electronics, the floor must not only ground out static charges. It must prevent static events from occurring in the first place. It Can Happen anywhere at anytime - to protect electronic components from the threat of static discharge, ESD protective measures must be in place at all times, through the manufacturing process and in the field, particularly in areas where the disruption of electronic functioning or loss of sensitive data threatens safety. O.S.C. representatives are available to help you find the answers to your ESD Flooring questions. Each are specialists in their field with years of experience in ESD Flooring solutions.

Tips to help you select the appropriate ESD flooring for your operational needs :

1. Review your static protective needs with a knowledgeable advisor.
2. Determine whether the floor will be temporary or permanent and how the floor will be installed.
3. Find out whether people who walk on the floor will be wearing regular or ESD protective footwear.
4. Learn the difference between computer grade and grounded flooring.
5. Decide what sort of walking surface you want – soft, hard, shiny, etc.
6. Determine peripheral considerations – do you need durability? Sound absorption? Anti-fatigue properties? Resistance to pallets or forklifts?
7. Always test for moisture, particularly if leaning toward vinyl, rubber or epoxy. Moisture can cause the outright failure of most resilient floors, with problems such as adhesive breakdown and adhesive oozing. High moisture can also lead to the development of molds and bacteria.
