A generic term used to describe any form of flooring that is designed to reduce static electricity on people. Static control flooring is available in numerous forms including: carpeting, carpet tiles, vinyl tile, rubber tile and epoxy coatings. A more specific description should be used when specifying this type of flooring. A meaningful flooring specification should always include electrical resistance in Ohms and triboelectric performance measured in volts.
Vinyl Maintenance
The amount and type of traffic will determine the maintenance frequency and requirements of your Staticworx vinyl flooring. Maintenance of StaticWorx ESD Vinyl tiles require sweeping, washing, rinsing and buffing. Do not use a sweeping compound as these may contain oils. Do not use generic wax or floor finishes on conductive or static dissipative vinyl tiles. All power buffing machines should not exceed 1500 R.P.M. Clean the floor with a neutral floor cleaner only. Do not use an excessive amount of water. Do not use pads or brushes that have been used on standard waxed floors as these will tend to cross contaminate and leave a non-conductive wax film that will compromise the dissipative properties of the floor.
