Why Choose Electro Conductive Anti Static ESD Floor Systems for Electrostatic Discharge Protection & Performance
At Promain, we specialise in anti static floor paint and esd flooring solutions designed to dissipate static electricity safely and effectively. Whether you're fitting out server rooms, clean rooms, or production floors handling volatile chemicals or active electronic components, our anti static flooring systems help control static electricity, manage electrostatic charge, and maintain consistent conductivity across all areas.
We supply leading systems such as:
These are designed to deliver controlled electrical resistance, durability and strong chemical resistance for high-performance esd floors.
Electrostatic Discharge Flooring vs Conductive Flooring: ESD Protection & Electrical Resistance Explained
Choosing between electrostatic dissipative flooring and conductive floor systems depends on your site’s sensitivity to esd events, static charges and environmental conditions.
Electrostatic discharge flooring (or esd flooring) is engineered to control static electricity by slowly transferring electrostatic charge to ground through moderate surface resistance — typically between ~1 × 10⁶ and 1 × 10⁹ ohms. These static dissipative coatings help protect electrostatic sensitive devices, particularly in computer rooms, medical facilities and electronics assembly areas.
Conductive flooring systems, on the other hand, offer lower resistance (around ~2.5 × 10⁴ to 1 × 10⁶ ohms), making them more suitable for zones handling volatile substances, static sensitive devices, or environments prone to inadvertent contact with electro static discharge sources.
At Promain, we help you match the right anti static esd system to your space — factoring in foot traffic, vehicle load, coating application, uncured concrete surfaces, dust, residual moisture content and grounding continuity.
Specifying Anti Static Epoxy Flooring: ESD Flooring Solutions that Control Static Electricity
Getting the right anti static epoxy flooring or anti static floor paint specification is vital to prevent static discharges and protect equipment, materials, and personnel.
A reliable esd floor system typically includes:
-
Primer to bond with concrete
-
Base coat to level and stabilise
-
Conductive layer with carbon or graphite
-
Earthing strips for ground contact
-
Topcoat to lock in performance and ensure uniform colour
Correct surface prep is essential — uncured concrete, excess aggregate, oil, or moisture can cause coating failure, delamination or disrupt electrical resistance.
Every coating system must consider:
-
Surface resistance requirements
-
Mechanical means of cleaning
-
Substrate conditions
-
Resistance to chemicals, water, and abrasion
-
Volume of foot and vehicle traffic
-
Maintenance schedule
At Promain, we guide you through each layer — from first coat to second coat, and provide support on unopened containers, mixing curing agent tin with base container and following correct coating application methods.
ESD Flooring for Server Rooms, Clean Rooms & Industrial Anti Static Protection
Facilities like server rooms, data centres, clean rooms, and electronics plants face constant risk from static build up. Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits, erase data, or stop production lines without warning.
In these areas, esd floors help dissipate static electricity and reduce electrical charges on contact. For higher-risk zones with volatile chemicals, static conductive flooring — with tighter control on surface resistance — may be required to prevent explosion or fire.
Whether you're working with computer rooms, mild steel surfaces, or need protection against static electricity near volatile substances, Promain provides esd flooring that keeps operations safe and equipment protected. Our coatings resist damage from regular use, spills, and movement of sensitive items.

FAQs – ESD Flooring, Anti Static Floor Paint & Static Protection
Q: What is an electro conductive anti static floor system?
A: It’s a flooring system built to safely discharge static electricity through conductive or static dissipative coatings. These are used to protect electrostatic sensitive devices and prevent esd events in workplaces.
Q: What’s the difference between anti static floor paint and ESD flooring?
A: Anti static floor paint provides general control of static build up, ideal for personnel safety. Esd flooring is designed for stricter electrical resistance standards and includes grounding features to protect active electronic components.
Q: Can I use anti static paint for floors in server rooms?
A: Yes, as long as the anti static floor paint system is properly installed, has correct coating application, and meets surface resistance levels suitable for static sensitive devices.
Q: What industries use electrostatic discharge or esd flooring solutions?
A: Typical sectors include:
-
Electronics assembly
-
Server rooms and data centres
-
Aerospace and automotive production
-
Pharmaceutical and chemical processing
-
Clean rooms and medical labs
Q: How do I choose the best electro conductive anti static esd floor system?
A: Check for:
-
Load type (foot, trolley, forklift)
-
Chemical resistance
-
Surface condition (cracks, dust, moisture)
-
Compliance with esd protection and electrical resistance targets
-
Need for coating system or single-coat application
