ESD Carpet Tiles for Static Control

kV" (standard anti-static carpeting) our conductive filaments are inserted in each yarn end of the basic raw broadloom. This superior manufacturing technology provides a carpeting than never requires chemical anti-stat treatments yet provides exceedingly consistent electrical conductivity across the entire surface of the material.

Utilizing a proprietary process, our raw broadloom is than bonded to a durable, semi conductive, textured, condensed closed cell vinyl backing. After curing, this dimensionally stable backed broadloom is precision cut to specific sizes (either 18" x 18" or 24" x 24" 36" x 36" and boxed to protect the carpet face and corners during shipping. 24" carpet tiles are provided in either boxes of 27 or 18 each, 18" tiles are provided in boxes of 24.

Make sure that the sub-floor and site conditions meet your requirements!

The installation of ZeroStat carpet tiles shouldn't begin until the work of all other trades (especially overhead trades) has been completed. The installation areas must be clean, fully enclosed, weather-tight and have the permanent HVAC system set at a minimum of 68o F (20o C) for a minimum of 72 hours prior to, during and after installation. The ZeroStat Carpet Tiles must be delivered to the installation area and allowed to acclimatize in the same manner. To allow for proper inspection of the substrate, installation of the flooring and final inspection of the install all areas to receive flooring must be adequately lighted. Wood floors should be of double construction with a minimum thickness of 1 inch. The wood floor must be rigid, free from movement and have at least 18" of well ventilated air space below. Typically, ZeroStat carpet tiles shouldn't be installed over wooden sub-floors built on sleepers over, on or below grade concrete floors without special considerations. Contact us if such a install is required.

Our recommended adhesives bond to a variety of substrates!

The subfloor to receive the flooring should be smooth, flat, level, permanently dry, clean and free of all foreign material such as dust, paint, grease, oils, solvents, curing and hardening compounds, sealers, asphalt and old adhesive residue. The concrete must have a minimum compressive strength of 3500 psi. Patch and repair minor cracks and other imperfections with a Portland-base patching compounds. Do not install floor coverings over gypsum-based leveling or patching compounds. It is essential that calcium chloride moisture tests be taken on all concrete floors regardless of the age or grade level. One test should be conducted for every 1000 sq. ft. of flooring (minimum of 3). The test should be conducted around the perimeter of the room, at columns and where moisture may be evident. The moisture emission from the concrete must not exceed 5.0 lbs per 1000 sq'ft. in 24 hours (for our conductive liquid adhesive) and 3.5 lbs per 1000 sq/ft for our textile reinforced releasable adhesive system. A diagram of the area showing the location and results of each test should be submitted to the Architect, General Contractor or End User. If the test results exceed the limitations, the installation must not proceed until the problem has been corrected.

Insure that the received materials meet your criteria!

Prior to installation of this product insure that all floor covering materials and adhesive have arrived on site, that the dye lots, and part numbers match the clients order and that the materials have arrived in undamaged condition. Don't forget; allow the materials to time acclimatize to the temperature controlled environment of the installation area for at least 72 hours prior to beginning the install.

1) US 2000 Releasable Adhesive is a textile reinforced, double stick "tape." Available in conductive and standard. Perfect for installing floors in leased facilities (when you move the floor goes with you). Excellent choice for asbestos laden substrates, raised computer floors and fast track usage (requires no curing time to achieve bond). This material is supplied in a 39" x 86' rolls. Designed to cover a variety of surfaces including existing well bonded VCT, Linoleum, Cement, Steel, Hardwood, virtually any surface that is smooth, dust and oil free, well bonded and meets the moisture emission requirements of being below 3.5 lbs per 1000 sf (calcium chloride test). Easy to use, clean, odor free and FAST (saves about 25% in labor over troweled on liquid adhesive).

Releasable Adhesive Application: Grasping inside tube of roll, walk backwards (with light tension on roll), peeling off "run." Align with any adjacent (previous) runs. Note: Although runs can be overlapped it's easiest (for liner removal purposes) to leave a slight 1/16 gap between runs). When comfortable with positioning, lightly broom in place (to remove any excessive bubbles). Remove top liner from sheet, observe carpet lay direction (arrow on carpet tile vinyl backing), place tiles on adhesive surface (starting at inside corner and carefully aligning edges). Note: Do not compress. Upon completion roll in place with 75# Roller. Floor may be used immediately!
Do Not Compress carpet tiles into place! Slight seams may be evident but blend after vacuuming and usage.

2) GZ-C2000 Conductive Liquid is a permanent, solvent free, water based, one part conductive adhesive system designed specifically for use with our conductive flooring materials. When properly applied this adhesive has excellent seam strength, and does not require additional seaming adhesive. GZ-C2000 is designed for use on, above or below grade, on unsealed concrete, VCT, Vinyl's, Steel, Mahogany and "sturdy floor type" subflooring (our latex based conductive primer is typically required for non-absorptive substrates). GZ-C2000's Advanced Polymeric Acrylic features the highest conductive filler to bond strength ratio and tolerance to cement moisture emissions in the industry: Warranted to 5.0 lbs per 1000 sf (calcium chloride test).

GZ-C2000 Conductive Liquid Application: Apply using a 1/16" x 1/16" square notched trowel. Allow adhesive to slightly tack, observe carpet lay direction (arrow on vinyl backing), place tiles on adhesive surface (starting at inside corner and carefully sliding into place). After 4 hours, carpet tiles may be rolled using a light weight(<51#) vinyl tile roller. Prior to rolling large area look for adhesive oozing between seams and possibly onto carpet, discontinue rolling for 8 more hours if evident). To avoid shifting of tiles do not allow equipment or other heavy loads to utilize floor for: 72 hours (cement) and 96 hours (primed non absorptive substrates). Clean up trowels and hands with warm soapy water. If adhesive gets on carpeting clean immediately with warm water blotting dry with dry clean towel.
