Conductive Laminate Floor

It s easy to lay and a cost effective solution.

Conductive laminate floor.

When the floor becomes electrically charged these conductive elements act as an electrical chain conducting electricity from the surface of the floor through its entire thickness. A decorative high pressure conductive laminate for flooring material is formed of a plurality of phenolic impregnated carbon containing core sheets a melamine resin impregnated decor sheet containing about 3 5 carbon fibers having a length greater than 1 16 inch and preferably 1 8 inch or more and a melamine resin impregnated abrasion resistant overlay. According to material differences there are different types of esd flooring such as esd vinyl flooring anti static laminate anti static rubber flooring anti static ceramic etc. Static control flooring is installed over an electrically conductive underlayment such as conductive copper foils or carbon loaded adhesive.

Nevamar conductive flooring laminate has significantly lower surface and volume resistivity thus resulting in a product tailored for application requiring rapid bleed down of static electricity charges. This type of product satisfies applications in computer rooms clean rooms and hospital operating rooms. 04 of 04 switching to esd vinyl. Conductive flooring systems provide the lowest charge generation and quickest charge dissipation for an esd production environment.

A decorative high pressure conductive laminate for flooring material is formed of a plurality of phenolic impregnated carbon containing core sheets a melamine resin impregnated decor sheet. Nevamar conductive flooring laminate has significantly lower surface and volume resistivity thus resulting in a product tailored for application requiring rapid bleed down of static electricity charges. The conductive components are completely encapsulated within the surface and as such are not a source of environmental contamination. Laminate rubber and ceramic can only reach static dissipative 1 10 6 ω 1 10 9 ω while vinyl flooring can realize conductive 2 5 10 4 ω 1 10 6 ω which is permanent.

The floor s conductive or dissipative properties are responsible for the first criterion. Most laminates are suitable for use with underfloor heating but it is advisable to check with the flooring manufacturer before installing the system. The flooring is grounded through a copper strip which connects to the flooring to a grounded connection such as a wall outlet. One copper grounding strip is required for every 1000 sq.

Conductivity and electrical resistance to predict how efficiently how quickly or slowly an esd floor will ground static charges we measure the electrical resistance of the flooring material using an ohm meter.
