ESD / Static Control Poured Epoxy Flooring: ESD Control

In industries where electronic components or volatile chemicals are involved, static electricity can result in significant damage, injury and financial loss. Even when people are equipped to handle static-sensitive devices, inadvertent contact can occur.

Ground Zero's ESD epoxy floor, wall and ceiling coatings and toppings can tie your entire ESD system together. With the most comprehensive ESD epoxy line in the industry, the Ground Zero can design a floor system to meet your specific needs. Not only does Ground Zero have the most complete line, our products significantly outperform the competition and are protected by multiple patents. Our ESD epoxy products generate a maximum Body Voltage Generation of 15 volts, and have consistent readings regardless of relative humidity.

  • 5-Year Guarantee of Electrical Properties
  • Excellent Chemical & Abrasion Resistance
  • 8 Products & 4 Primers to Choose From
  • Most Complete line in the Industry Protected by Multiple Patents
  • Unaffected by Relative Humidity
  • < 15 Volts VBG
  • Consistent Readings Throughout Entire Surface

ESD Primers

EPHB CR High-Build Primer for ESD Coatings

A high-build primer formulated specifically for applications involving static-sensitive products or equipment. EPHB CR is easily applied and penetrates deep into the concrete. The result is a primed surface that works in conjunction with Ground Zero's ESD-control coatings.

PR 300 Vinyl Tile Epoxy Primer

PR 300 is an ideal primer for ESD applications where a static-control coating is being applied over vinyl tile. It is formulated with a special curing agent that provides extra bond strength, assuring a secure bond to the tile. PR 300 combines high strength and flexibility, enabling the primer to move with the tile's natural flexing, so the tile won't loosen.

ESD PR1 Conductive Black Primer

If a conductive floor coating is required, ESD PR1 can be applied as a base coat before using an ESD topcoat. This black, conductive, carbon-filled primer is applied at 6 mils (2.5 x 10 4 - 10 6 range). It should not be used with an ESD urethane topcoat

ESD PR3 Static-Dissipative Black Primer
This primer was specifically formulated to be used with Ground Zero's Chemi-LDR 610 ESD Slurry Coating when a static dissipative floor is required. ESD PR3 allows Ground Zero to be flexible when designing a system to meet your needs. It is a 100% solids epoxy system.


Thin-Film ESD Epoxy Coatings

ZeroStat Crete ESD EP 1000 Epoxy Coating
High-gloss, high-solids, low-odor ESD coating. Typical installation requires one coat.

ZeroStat Crete TM ESD EP 3000 Epoxy Coating
High-gloss, solvent-borne, VOC-compliant coating with a slight orange peel finish. Typical installation requires two coats.


Thick-Film ESD Epoxy Coatings

Chemi-LDR TM 610 ESD Self Leveler Epoxy
This high-gloss, low-odor, high-solids, 60-mil, ESD self-leveling coating is designed to be applied to floors that are too rough for a thin-film coating, but which have not deteriorated to the point where a heavy-duty floor resurfacer is needed to repair them. Typical installation is over a conductive or static-dissipative primer.

ZeroStat Crete ESD EN 7000 Epoxy Novalac
This high-solids, low-odor, epoxy Novalac with an orange peel finish offers excellent chemical resistance against strong acids and caustics. Typical installation requires one coat.

ZeroStat Crete ESD TM Coating
This transparent epoxy coating is designed to be used independently or in combination with decorative flake or colored quartz aggregate to manufacture a monolithic conductive or static dissipate (ESD) decorative floor system. This 100% solids, no odor conductive epoxy resin polymer can provide ESD control to any existing non-ESD surface; including concrete, tile, terrazzo and previously coated floors.

ESD Coatings

Because ESD coatings differ in their characteristics and benefits, several different types of ESD products may be required for one facility. For example, areas with heavy tow-motor traffic, light foot traffic, clean room assembly/manufacturing, solvent/chemical storage, and product handling might each require several different ESD products. That's why Ground Zero offers a full line of ESD-control coatings.

Problems such as odor, moisture in new concrete, osmotic pressure, etc., also require an innovative product line. No single polymer type or ESD product will handle all of the conditions that can be experienced in the field. Krypton Floor's dedication to research and development in ESD control allows us to offer the most extensive and cost-effective ESD product line on the market today.

Ground Zero ESD-control coatings offer the following benefits:

  • Consistent resistance measurements when tested at 10-500 volts.
  • Eliminates hot and cold spots.
  • <15 volts BVG (when utilizing conductive footwear). (ZeroStat Crete 850ESD and Chemi-LDR 610 ESD <50; ZeroStat Crete ESD EN 7000 <20.)
  • Dissipate a 5000-volt charge to zero in <0.1 seconds (72 0 F @ 12% RH).
  • Maintain electrical conductivity throughout the entire thickness.
  • Do not depend on relative humidity (RH) for electrical properties.
  • Electrical properties guaranteed for five years.

Thin-Film Polyurethane Coatings

ZeroStat Crete UR 5000 ESD Polyurethane
This solvent-borne, VOC-compliant, UV-stable alphatic polyester polyurethane coating comes in a slight non-skid texture. Our urethanes also offer higher chemical resistance and are UV-stable. Typical installation requires one or two coats.

ZeroStat Crete UR 7000 WB ESD Waterborne Urethane
This waterborne, low-odor aliphatic urethane offers easy sprayability for walls or workstations. It also features fast cure cycles, low VOC and easy repairability. Typical installation requires one or two coats.

ESD Resurfacer

ZeroStat Crete 950 ESD Epoxy Resurfacer
This low-odor, high-solids epoxy resurfacer has electrical properties throughout its entire thickness. Typical installation is a 3/16" topping applied by raking and then power-troweling. Used for badly damaged concrete or areas exposed to high abuse. Only available in a conductive range.
