GroundSafe™ ESD Flooring by StaticWorx
StaticWorx attractive, high-performance static-control floors protect sensitive electronics and electronic components from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Most specifiers and buyers don't realize that electrical and ESD standards differ by industry. And many are unaware of the ways that flooring materials interact with the workplace environment. As a result, they choose the wrong ESD floor, one that fails in their environment or application.
With years of experience and our lengthy publishing history, StaticWorx leads the industry in technical know-how. Our technical sales and service reps work with each client, providing the objective, research-based evidence necessary to make an informed decision. We don’t just sell floors. We tailor ESD flooring solutions that meet each client's specific goals and objectives.
Whether you’re an architect, looking for specifications; a large or small flooring contractor; a facilities manager for an electronics manufacturing or handling facility; or with a government office - like the FAA or Department of Homeland Security, a university, cleanroom or university lab, film or TV studio, call center, police department, or 9-1-1 dispatch operation - StaticWorx can help.
To discuss how best to solve a static problem or to learn more about StaticWorx high-performing ESD flooring options, call: 617-923-2000. Or visit our website: staticworx.com

Very informative! I was asking that stupid question too... 6 mins later I'm better educated. Thanks so much WORX!
Thank you. It was extremely helpful
"The NFPA and OSHA say that the floor has to have always more resistance than 25 thousand ohms." 👍🏼 @4:05
I have been given the task to strip, apply and maintain ESD wax for very large factory. Aside from 1:1 buffing, can the wax be burnished to provide extended longevity?
very good content
Hi Dave,
My Name is Ehab Qiblawi from VIP coatings, and I am gathering some information for anti-static flooring to learn more and educate some of my colleagues. so i just want to tell you that you helped me a lot in your videos, so is it OK if I mention you as one of the resources or references for my paper?
Thanks Ehab. You’re welcome to use Staticworx as a resource or reference for your paper.
ANSI 20.20 changed several years ago. I suggest an update
Thank you for taking the time to comment! We have issued a much more updated video and do say in our description that our latest video on Conductive vs Dissipative can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/A0qd3LnES5M/v-deo.html&t.
Good...how about throwing in the more common terms like Kilo Ohms, and Meg Ohms? Nice job using all standards as a method.
You must be referring to some of the homeopathic methods for reducing EMF...which are somewhat questionable. Before you start grounding yourself while you are sleeping, you may want to perform a risk assessment for your sleeping environment. Things like the likelihood of nearby lightning strikes, high-tension line proximity, ground field for your home or other nearby structures, etc. should be taken under consideration. You may actually end up doing more harm than good.
I'm sorry could you speak up I can't hear you over your shirt
What you forgot to mention is to meet s20.20 the resistance between a person IN HEEL GROUNDERS with the flooring must be below 35 meg ohms. Heel straps ALWAYS have built in 1 meg resistors SO even if the floor is 1.0e04 the total resistance between the tech, their heel straps and the floor will be one meg ohm. Considered the SAFE range for fifty years. What happens if the floor is static dissipative and it gets dirty? You FAIL ANDI ESD S20.20. Millions of people go to work on a static conductive floor daily, out of those million people ZERO will be electrocuted because of the floor. A static conductive floor offers ultimate static control. Very misleading video
Hi Mark, You present some interesting comments that we should explain further in a future video. They are common misconceptions. I tried to look you up but your public profile on UA-cam doesn't have any contact info so I can not know the context of your concerns. That said, heel straps are universally available with and without resistors. Additionally, if a person is standing on a floor wearing two heel straps with one meg resistors, the resistance between the person and floor is divided by two = .5 megohms. And keep in mind that wet leather shoes can measure very conductive < 25,000 ohms. If a person walks in a wet area with leather shoes, e.g the bathroom, their shoe soles now become infinitely more conductive than the "electrically protective" heel straps they are wearing. The so called 25,000 ohm minimum resistance stated in most flooring specs is based on a now defunct NFPA requirement. I say defunct because in 2015 the NFPA eliminated the conductive flooring reference. However, when it was in effect the NFPA 99 committee meant for the user to test resistance with an applied voltage of 500 volts. ESD flooring manufacturers test conductive flooring resistance at the ANSI/ESD required 10 volts. A floor measuring 25,000 ohms at 10 volts, (for example black back ESD carpet tile) will measure under 10,000 ohms at 500 volts. The NFPA would never have approved such a floor. They would consider it an electrical hazard. Lastly, the resistors used in heel straps and wrist straps can be damaged by ac voltages yielding a dead short vs the 1 megohm resistance they previously provided.
@@staticworx so does that mean the sweet spot is shifted when testing with a 10 volt vs 500 volt?
