Description
Flowshield ESD Conductive is an antistatic,
hard-wearing, self-smoothing epoxy resin floor
finish that complies with BS2050,
ANSI/ESDS2020, ASTM F150 Conductive, IEC
61340-4-1 and IEC 61340-4-5 requirements.

Uses
To provide a hard-wearing, seamless, antistatic
floor. It is commonly used in dry process areas
where the floor is subjected to medium to heavy
duty foot, trolley and pallet truck traffic. Typical
uses include laboratories, clean rooms,
equipment testing areas in electronic,
aerospace, automotive, printing and
pharmaceutical plants.

A netw ork of 12 mm w ide, self-adhesive, conductive
copper tape is alw ays recommended in combination w ith
any Flow crete antistatic flooring system. The copper tape
must be applied directly onto the cured Flow prime,
maximum 1 metre in from the perimeter of the application.
Further, strips of tape should be applied w ithin this area
every 3 metres. Special attention should be paid to tape
areas passing over expansion or bay joints to ensure
per manent electrical continuity. The applied tape should
be secure and fully bonded to a confir med earth point.
