Static electricity is part of our daily lives. It manifests itself, for example, in the typical sparks on the finger when touching a metal doorknob.
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage or malfunctions, especially in integrated circuits, measuring devices, servers.
Micro-chip manufacturer Advanced Smart Card based in Cairo, Egypt contacted us, looking for a conductive floor that would allow the evacuation of electrostatic charges to ground within their 4000m2 facility.

Supreme Floors has two ranges, Conductive conductive tiles and Atlas ESD conductive PVC roll flooring. The client opted for the first option in 60.8×60.8cm and 2mm thick tiles.
After applying a self-leveling mortar on the ceramic tiles, they installed the Conductive tiles by gluing them with a conductive glue. They had previously installed a copper tape to allow the electrostatic charges to be discharged to ground (one ground is required every 40m2). The electrical installation requires the intervention of professionals.
In order to ensure a good seal and stability of the conductive conductive tiles, the joints were heat-sealed with a PVC bead (an operation better known as hot welding).

The advantages of Conducta conductive flooring are that it is highly resistant to foot traffic and easy to clean because of its smooth surface. Conducta conductive vinyl floorings are installed in server rooms, electronic component factories, explosion risk rooms but also in operating rooms.
