Conductive Laminate Floor

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.

Conductive laminate floor. Synthetic fibers and wool are conductive materials which means you re more likely to get a shock after shuffling over a laminate floor in wool or synthetic socks than with cotton socks. Most laminates are suitable for use with underfloor heating but it is advisable to check with the flooring manufacturer before installing the system. One copper grounding strip is required for every 1000 sq. 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.

This type of product satisfies applications in computer rooms clean rooms and hospital operating rooms. 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. It s easy to lay and a cost effective solution. 04 of 04 switching to esd vinyl.

Conductive flooring systems provide the lowest charge generation and quickest charge dissipation for an esd production environment. 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. 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. The flooring is grounded through a copper strip which connects to the flooring to a grounded connection such as a wall outlet.

There are also special anti static shoes though this might not be the most comfortable option in your own home. Laminate flooring this synthetic floor simulates wood and offers a stain and scratch resistant floor finish. Static control flooring is installed over an electrically conductive underlayment such as conductive copper foils or carbon loaded adhesive. 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.
