GROUNDING
Statguard
and easily meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirement <100
volt generation tested per ANSI/ESD STM97.2.
Conventional grounding practices like electrically
connecting Statguard
electrical ground or internal building auxilary ground
are only required for applications of static dissipative
floor finish that are less than 50 square feet. For
applications that are greater than 50 square feet, the
capacitance of Statguard
MANY times greater than the capacitance of the
human body model. The difference in capacitance is so
great that the Statguard
theoretical reservoir or natural ground. “Floor
finishes...function by two separate machanisms. First,
they reduce the surface’s tendency to generate a
static charge. Second, They provide a path for the
dissipation of charge. The charge may dissipate over
the surface of the finish or it may dissipate to ground if
the floor finish is grounded.” (ESD Handbook TR20.20
section 5.3.4.2) The capacitance and surface
resistance of the Statguard

properly grounded conductive or static dissipative
flooring are to be worn on both feet. Ask your Desco
Representative for Technical Bulletin TB-2020 for more
information.
Statguard Dissipative Floor Finish contains zinc.
CONCRETE
Two measures are used to determine a good concrete
surface for Statguard
1. The surface should be sealed.
2. The surface should be cleaned of all contaminants.

SURFACE
Surface to be finished should be clean, dry, and
smooth. Heavy dirt or grease build up should be
removed with a stripper or degreaser. DO NOT apply
Statguard
SEALING
Surface preparation is absolutely critical for porous
materials such as concrete. Proper preparation
simplifies application, increases durability, and is
essential for proper adhesion of the coating of the
substrate. Industrial grade polyurethane, vinyl, or
acrylic base sealers are recommended to seal high
porosity floors before applying the Statguard
Finish. Enamel paint, urethane or acrylic sealer can be
used for bare wood, and enamel undercoat with rust
inhibitor for metal. See Statguard
New concrete should cure for 60 days before sealing.
Not all concrete surfaces are created equal. They vary
widely in physical and chemical qualities due to the
way the concrete was originally formulated, poured or
finished.
Concrete surfaces are very porous and should be
properly sealed prior to the application of Statguard
Floor Finish. There are several methods to prepare
problem concrete. Each method depends on the
condition of the concrete. Cleaning methods range
from: sweeping, vacuuming, wire brush, air-blasting,
water jet, steam cleaning, or stripping. Adhesion
properties for the concrete sealer can be increased by
profiling or roughing surface through acid etching,
rotary drum sanding, scarifying, or mechanically
scratching the surface. The concrete sealer will reduce
the porosity of the concrete and provide a smooth and
level surface for the finish. The sealer also provides a
barrier to prevent any water migrating up through the
concrete.
No Sealer Application: Sealing is recommended for
increasing coverage and correcting problem concrete
surfaces that are not dry or free from grease, oil, etc. If
the subfloor surface is dry, level, and free from dirt,
grease, oil, paint, sealer, old adhesives, and other
foreign materials, it may be suitable to applying
Statguard® finish directly onto the concrete.
