What Are Static Dissipative Coatings: Why You Might Need Them

For over two decades, Consurco has been at the forefront of innovative concrete solutions, including essential static-dissipative floor and wall coatings. As the industrial and technological landscapes evolve, the need for specialized flooring to reduce the risks associated with static electricity has become increasingly apparent.

These advanced coating systems are not just about maintaining aesthetics but about enhancing operational safety and protecting sensitive equipment. Whether you're an engineer, architect, or facility manager, understanding the role of static-dissipative coatings is essential to completing your projects.

What Are Static-Dissipative Coating Systems?

Static-dissipative coatings are much more than a top layer on your floor; they are advanced systems designed to address the unique challenges of static electricity in various environments. At Consurco, we recognize the importance of creating safe, reliable spaces, especially in industries where static control is necessary.

These specialized coatings incorporate conductive materials into their composition, allowing static electricity to dissipate safely. Integrating this technology into concrete coatings ensures that your facilities are protected from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and the potential hazards it presents to the goods produced in this new facility, like microchips and other electronic technology. Our solutions are tailored to meet the demands of diverse environments, from high-tech manufacturing plants to pharmaceutical labs, where the margin for error is nonexistent.

Are Traditional Epoxy, Urethane, and Other Coating Materials Considered Static-Dissipative?

At Consurco, we've seen the limitations of traditional epoxy and urethane coatings in static-prone environments. While these materials are used for their durability and resistance to wear and tear, their standard formulations lack the necessary properties to manage static electricity effectively.

However, we've developed methods to enhance these traditional coatings with static-dissipative capabilities. We make regular epoxy and urethane coatings effective against static by adding conductive materials. This allows us to offer the proven durability of epoxy and urethane with static dissipation.

What Industries Benefit From Static Dissipative Floor Coatings?

Static electricity affects many industries, each facing unique challenges and needs. At Consurco, we've used our services in sectors where the risks are exceptionally high. From electronics manufacturing to pharmaceutical production, our static-dissipative coatings offer that extra layer of protection.

In environments such as cleanrooms, automotive assembly lines, and aerospace manufacturing facilities, static control is essential to help maintain operational integrity. Our commitment to innovation and quality ensures that these industries can operate with the assurance that their floors contribute to a safer, more efficient work environment.
