GroundWorx™ Basics Static Dissipative Seamless Poured ESD Epoxy Floor Coating | ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014
GroundWorx Basics is a budget friendly, static dissipative 2 component abrasion resistant water based durable system designed for superior anti-static protection of interior concrete floors, wood, VCT tile in electronics manufacturing, assembly and ESD protected areas. Surface resistivity measures 106 – x 109 ohms per square average. Conforms to ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014 when tested according to ANSI/ESD STM7.1 GroundWorx EC combines permanent conductivity, durability and value for applications requiring an inexpensive, easily installed ESD floor coating.
GroundWorx ESD Static Dissipative Epoxy meets the static control flooring requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014 (S97.1 and S97.2). GroundWorx is a two part polymeric ESD epoxy coating that can be applied by both novices and professionals. Many of our clients actually apply their GroundWorx ESD floor themselves. GroundWorx is extremely easy to repair; it’s ideal for challenging applications like warehouses and fork lift applications. GroundWorx can even be installed in occupied spaces with adequate ventilation.
Comes in a two part, 4 gallon kit. Each kit contains (4) 1 gallon containers Part A resin and (4) small containers of Part B catalyst which allows mixing small in increments of 1 gallon for easiest application. GroundWorx installs in a minimum of two coats in a matte finish. This ESD floor coating was specifically engineered for situations where a substantial investment in high-end flooring might not be justified because the floor space may be temporary or redeployed for other usage in the future. Despite its low cost, GroundWorx ESD Epoxy meets the static control flooring requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014 (S97.1 and S97.2), DOD 4145.26M, HDBK263A.
GroundWorx Static Dissipative Epoxy provides a seamless matte finish to almost any sub-floor surface and comes in a 4 gallon kit. The Static Dissipative version of Groundworx is special order 4-5 week lead time. Most projects however use the Conductive Version of GroundWorx with immediate shipment of Pewter color
PRIMER: For applying directly to VCT, ceramic tile, vinyl, linoleum or asbestos mastics, cutback and carpet glues with minimal preparation consider our Perfect Primer Sealer.
TOPCOAT: Optional: None required. For additional physical protection as a low cost sacrificial option, and decorative gloss use the CoatZF ESD Low-Voc Dissipative Clear Floor Finish
Our Static Dissipative Groundworx Epoxy is a special order product and is available in 6 colors with a 40 gallon minimum order and 2-3 week lead time before shipping.
Use this link for a static conductive version of the Groundworx ESD Static Conductive Epoxy which is in the conductive range 2.5 x 104 – 3.5 x 107 ohms and offers system resistance (w/ ESD Footware) < 3.5 x 107 (fully compliant) ANSI/ESD STM 97.1.
We offer the option to include a 1/2″ wide copper grounding strip for grounding to earth grounds. Copper is 1.4 mil thickness (2.6 mil thickness with the conductive adhesive backing). Recommend at least 1 grounding strip every 1,000 sq’ of project surface area. See the guide: HOW TO GROUND ESD COATINGS
For cleaning and maintenance of your GroudWorx SF epxoy floor, recommend the StaticWorx TriboClean to clean and renew the anti-static properties. To extend the life of the GroundWorx Expoxy Floor Coating, recommend application of the GroundWorx CoatZF coating.
For floor surfaces subject to heavy wheeled traffic use including forklift and pallet jack traffic, we offer our HB-97.2 Coating System which includes a high performance 2 part 100% solids epoxy basecoat and high solids urethane topcoat for excellent ESD anti-static control in a physically demanding environment. For more information on anti-static floor systems, see our video library.
