When we started to develop Statclear A50 we knew there was a demand in our core market,the electronics manufacturing industry, for a permanent clear anti static coating. We have been surprised by interest in Statclear from a broad range of other markets including packaging, escalator maintenance and even the Canadian police force. What we did…

You have invested time and money into your ESD floor. The floor is now an integral part of your static control system so you want to maintain it properly so that it continues to work effectively for the foreseeable future.   Simple steps to care for your ESD floor The good news is that your…

We have regularly been on site when a surface resistivity meter has been placed on the concrete factory floor and the reading indicates the floor is within the range to be classed as static dissipative. Static problem solved – yes?   Unfortunately not, bare concrete floors can exhibit anti static (dissipative or conductive) properties. Whilst…

We are so used to discussing the negative effects of static electricity, we thought it about time we should discuss the positive impact it can have on your everyday life. Mobile phones Did you know that every time you touch the screen of your mobile to open an app you are using the power of…

We can’t stress enough how important it is to prepare the surface properly before the application of ESD paint. This is the most important part of any floor installation. If you just slap on the paint without any preparation, the results will be haphazard so like any job, preparation is the key, and will save…

We are getting asked with increasing frequency for ESD paint to apply to walls. The first question I always ask is “Why”? Look to your floor If a floor is ESD protected with a static dissipative surface then anyone brushing or rubbing against a wall will discharge straight into the floor through their ESD footwear.…

You’ve spent the money, painted or installed your Anti Static floor. All sorted – right? No need to do anything else is there? Assuming you have followed the manufacturers instructions correctly your floor should be working and static is being removed quickly and safely. How do you know for certain though? One year, two years,…

You have a problem with static, you’ve been recommended anti static paint but how does anti static paint actually work? The majority of people quite frankly don’t care. If it solves their static problem they are happy. If however you are one of the minority or want to understand the basic principals involved we can…

If you have a problem with static an ESD ( electrostatic discharge) floor can help. Static is a problem that can manifest itself in many ways in a work environment. In terms of electronics it is believed that up to 50% of hardware failures are static related. In other settings it can produce shocks, sparks…
