GroundWorx EC ESD Epoxy Flooring Info
GroundWorx EC combines permanent conductivity, durability and value for applications requiring an inexpensive, easily installed ESD floor coating.
Despite the low cost, GroundWorx EC meets or exceeds all the recommended guidelines for static control flooring in ANSI/ESD S20.20. GroundWorx EC ESD floors are durable, attractive and they can be applied over most flooring materials including concrete, wood and old tile. The most impressive aspect of GroundWorx EC is the ease of application. It's as simple to install as conductive acrylic paint but it also provides the durability you expect from permanent ESD floors.
GroundWorx EC is the only two part ESD epoxy coating that can be applied by both novices and professionals. Many of our clients actually apply their GroundWorx EC ESD floor themselves. GroundWorx EC is extremely easy to repair; it's ideal for challenging applications like warehouses and fork lift applications like shipping/receiving areas. Statcoat installs for less than $1.00 per square foot but with minor maintenance it will look as attractive as ESD floors and epoxy that cost 3 to five times more. GroundWorx EC can even be cleaned and shined using StatCare maintenance products.
Here are some of the Features:
- 2 component water based epoxy
- Abrasion resistant
- Permanent ESD properties
- Chemical resistant
- Can be installed in occupied areas
- Fast curing for quick turn-around
- No installation skills needed
- Costs less than 1 dollar per square foot
- Easily repaired
- Ideal for warehouses and abusive applications
- Tough as polyurethanes and expensive ESD epoxies
- Puts conductive acrylic paints to shame
GroundWorx EC Application and Maintenance
New concrete floors should be allowed to cure a minimum of thirty days. Application to floors colder than 60 F is not recommended. Floor surfaces must be free of any release agents, curing compounds, salts or efflorescence before coating. Sweep and then wash floors with an appropriate cleaning product to remove oil, grease, and soil. Follow by etching surface with an etching solution, then thoroughly rinse with clean water.
 If floor has been previously coated, a small area should be cleaned, roughed up by screen disking with an 80 Grit screen, and then sealer applied to test for adhesion, lifting, etc. Any areas of the existing coating which display poor adhesion should be stripped. Wash the stripped areas, acid etch, and rinse thoroughly. Allow the floor to dry.
Catalyzed GroundWorx EC should be used within six hours of mixing, therefore, prepare only the quantity necessary for immediate use. Add premeasured catalyst to epoxy base. Stir gently until the catalyst has been thoroughly mixed in. Allow catalyzed GroundWorx EC to stand for 5 minutes.
Apply catalyzed GroundWorx EC with a short nap roller in thin, uniform coats. The initial coat will cover approximately 400-500 ft2 per gallon. Allow the initial coat to dry for 5-7 hours, then apply a second coat. Second coat coverage is approximately 500-600 ft2 per gallon.
NOTE: This product is not recommended for applications that experience reoccurring standing water. Finished floors may be opened to light traffic, under normal curing conditions, after 12 hours. Complete curing with maximum durability and chemical resistance will take 5-7 days.

Staticworx™ ESD Epoxy Flooring provides supreme durability in a seamless, nonporous, easy-to-clean surface. This unique system of 100% solids epoxy carbon-base polymer and electrically conductive aggregate core is designed for the most demanding electronics manufacturing and assembly requirements, including areas with motorized traffic.
With three times the load-carrying capacity of concrete, the Staticworx™ Load-Max E9000 ESD epoxy maintains its appearance longer and in tougher conditions than any other flooring material. The floor's wear-resistant surface is impervious to scuff marks and stains, requiring only a damp mop to maintain the floor's high gloss shine. Ideal for areas with motorized traffic, the Staticworx™ epoxy floor features superior abrasion resistance, durability and hardness. Also protects against a variety of acids, alkalis and solvents. |
*Epoxy Materials are a non-returnable item.

Typical Applications Include:
- Clean Rooms
- Automated Assembly Areas
- Computer Control Rooms
- Electronic Assembly Areas
- Automated Guided Vehicle Areas
- Electronic Manufacturing Plants
- Powdered Product Plants
- Pyrotechnic Processing Areas
- Storage Areas

Integrated tri-layer construction forms a redundant conductive network
with millions of paths to ground.
Thicker than standard coatings, the 3 integrated electrically conductive layers in the Staticworx™ ESD resin form a conductive network within a highly impact-resistant floor. Each layer contains stable, electrically conductive inert elements that provide consistent ESD protection that's unaffected by moisture and humidity. |
|
Base Layer
The base layer consists of a 100% conductive solids epoxy polymer, forming a highly conductive ground plane. This ground plane provides the foundation for the floor's electrically conductive network. |
Core Layer
The core layer is composed of an extremely hard aggregate that's permanently embedded into the base layer, further increasing the floor's overall strength. Within this aggregate mixture are virtually indestructible, electrically conductive carbide bits. With 14,400 carbide bits per square foot, the core layer provides millions of paths to ground, resulting in consistent ESD protection, while eliminating the risk of nonconductive voids. |

The Protective Top Layer
The protective top layer contains a conductive matrix that's suspended within 100% solids polymer. This clear conductive top layer provides a seamless, high gloss wear surface with superior abrasion and chemical resistance. |
