What should the specification be for an ESD epoxy floor coating system? I
will be starting with a new concrete floor surface. Is there a
specification for the epoxy material? A sales quote indicated that the
material will be 23 mils thick, applied in two coats over a base coat of
100% solids epoxy. In addition, I am really concerned because the quote
said "Please note that the NFPA does not require grounding straps or
other personal grounding devices in areas that have a minimum of 40
sq.ft. of uninterrupted ESD flooring". So... I don't need foot straps???
What about "slip resistance"? This is a new facility in the construction
stage and I would like to utilize an epoxy floor covering to replace my
mats. I would greatly appreciate input from those who have knowledge of
or experience with this.
