RESINDEK® ESD FLOORING INSTALLATION FOR #1 COMPUTER SUPPLIER

ESD FLOORING INSTALLATION - PROJECT OVERVIEW

Summary:

  • The world's #1 direct-sale computer supplier needed a mezzanine flooring solution to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to solid state devices
  • Flooring was further enhanced by installing the Invisi-Loc® underside fastening system
  • ResinDek ESD panels have been extensively tested and are in compliance with various ANSI/ESD Association Specifications

Challenge: Provide a mezzanine flooring solution to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to solid state devices

Solution: ResinDek® Gray Diamond Seal® ESD was chosen due to the electrostatic dissipative surface, and the Invisi-Loc® underside fastening system provided a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that hides fasteners

ResinDek® panels with ESD are designed to exceed industry requirements for static controlled flooring, shelving and work surfaces. As a result, it has become the top choice for the world's leading manufacturers, particularly when it comes to mezzanines, work platforms, and ESD flooring applications. Implementing ESD-control programs with ResinDek ESD anti-static flooring ensures comprehensive protection throughout the manufacturing, transportation, and storage of sensitive devices.

Past industry studies have indicated that 30% of all electronic failures can be attributed to electrostatic damage. Vulnerability is increasing as RFID technology and smaller electronic devices emerge.

ESD losses can result in any of the following:

  • Lost time
  • Connection down-time
  • Data loss
  • Shocks to personnel
  • Systems upset due to reboots
  • Equipment damage

ESD FLOORING INSTALLATION

When the world's #1 direct-sale computer supplier built their 527,000 sq. ft. electronics manufacturing facility in North Carolina, they selected ResinDek ESD in order to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to solid state devices. The flooring was further enhanced by installing the patented Invisi-Loc® underside fastening system, which hides unsightly fasteners. Invisi-Loc is an underside fastening system that secures panels underneath rather than on top to provide a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.

The ResinDek Engineering team designed and engineered the superior Gray Diamond Seal® ESD coating (formerly known as “Gray Diamond Seal® 2 ESD"). This coating boasts outstanding durability, ensuring longevity, while also delivering a visually stunning appearance that remains impressive year after year. Gray Diamond Seal® ESD has exceptional resistance to common stains and has been proven to be extremely easy to keep clean.

RESINDEK® ESD STATIC-CONTROLLED WOOD DECKING PANELS ARE COMPLIANT WITH ANSI/ESD ASSOCIATION SPECIFICATIONS

ResinDek ESD panels have been extensively tested by the testing firm of Stephen Halperin & Associates and have been found to be in compliance with the following ANSI/ESD Association Specifications:

  • ANSI/ESD S7.1 - Resistive Characterization of Materials–Floor Materials.
  • ANSI/ESD S20.20 - Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment.
  • ANSI/ESD STM97.1 - Floor Materials and Footwear–Resistance Measurement in Combination with a Person.

Testing Results are Summarized as Follows:

  • Average point-to-point resistance = 6.6 x 106 ohms
  • Average point-to-ground resistance = 7.8 x 106 ohms
  • ResinDek ESD mezzanine floor panels generated less than 10 volts with static controlled footwear, and experienced a rapid voltage decay from 5,000 volts to less than 50 volts in under .50 seconds
