Ucrete - Best industrial flooring with antistatic properties in South Africa
Antistatic flooring
Protecting electronic components
As electronic devices get smaller and are used ever more widely, protecting them from the effects of an electrostatic discharge becomes even more critical.
Explosion protection
Wherever solvents are used, whether in processing or for cleaning, there is a potential risk of explosive vapor/air mixtures forming.
Similarly, wherever fine organic powders are handled or generated during processing, powder/air mixtures with the potential for a dust explosion can be generated.
An electrostatic discharge can provide sufficient energy to ignite such mixtures, often resulting in an explosion.
A system approach
Ucrete antistatic floors have the conductive properties needed to control undesirable static electricity.
But you need more than an antistatic floor! You need a floor with the solvent and chemical resistance, the temperature and impact resistance to give you a long-lived floor. It may need to be easy to clean and hygienic, and have the slip resistance to provide a safe working environment.
We produce a wide range of Ucrete antistatic floors, from smooth and terrazzo systems to highly slip-resistant defined profile floors. We want you to have a floor that meets all your needs, and provides the safety of static control.
Note: In order to prevent personnel from becoming charged, they must be in electrical contact with the floor. This will require the use of antistatic footwear.
Undesirable static electricity
- damages electronic equipment
- leads to unwanted accumulation of dust
- causes discomfort and accidents
- ignites explosives, solvent/air or air/powder mixtures
Preventing static electricity
The best way to prevent an electrostatic discharge that might damage sensitive electronic equipment or cause dust or solvent explosions is to prevent the accumulation of static in the first place.
Ucrete antistatic floors are designed to minimize body voltage generation and facilitate dissipation of charge to ground of personnel wearing the appropriate antistatic footwear. More conductive floors are more effective at preventing the accumulation of static electricity.
Explosive handling areas
The Ucrete MFAS-C conductive flooring system should be used wherever explosives are handled.
