Antistatic and ESD flooring in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad has a long history in electronics and electrical manufacturing, including large public sector electronics units and many small suppliers in Sahibabad and along the industrial roads. A lot of this work involves boards, sensors and components that can be damaged by static discharge too small for anyone to feel. If your customers audit your ESD controls, or your field failure rate is higher than it should be, the floor is one of the first things to look at.

Why the floor matters in an ESD programme

People generate static simply by walking, especially on dry days and on insulating floors like tiles or ordinary epoxy. That charge sits on the person until they touch something. If that something is a circuit board, the discharge can damage components without any visible sign.

An ESD floor, combined with ESD footwear, drains that charge continuously to earth as people move around. Wrist straps protect seated operators at benches, but the floor protects everyone who walks, carries or pushes a trolley, including supervisors, material handlers and visitors.

Suppliers facing customer audits

Many Ghaziabad units supply larger electronics, defence or automotive customers who audit ESD controls against standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20 or IEC 61340-5-1. Auditors usually check:

• that the floor's resistance to ground is in the specified range
• that the combined resistance of person, footwear and floor is within limits
• that test records exist and are kept up to date
• that the ESD protected area is marked clearly

We help with the floor part of this. We build it to the specified range, test it at handover and provide readings you can keep in your records.

Building an ESD floor in an existing factory

Most of our Ghaziabad work is in running plants, so the floor often goes into rooms that were previously ordinary shop floor. That means:

• Oil and grime removal. Old factory floors often have oil soaked into them, which has to be ground or cut out.
• Crack and joint repair. Vibration from nearby machines can crack slabs. Cracks are repaired before the ESD layers go down.
• Copper grid and earthing. Copper tape is laid on the primed slab and connected to earthing points agreed with your electrician.
• Conductive primer and ESD finish. A conductive layer ties the grid together, then the ESD epoxy or PU finish is applied.
• Testing. We measure resistance across the room and record the results.

The work area is sealed off so the rest of the plant keeps running.

Epoxy or PU?

ESD floors are available in both. ESD epoxy is harder and suits rooms with trolleys and moderate loads. ESD PU is slightly softer, quieter and more comfortable for staff standing at benches all day. Either can meet the resistance range. We will suggest one based on how the room is used.

FAQs

What resistance range do electronics units usually need?

Most electronics assembly areas use static dissipative floors between 10⁶ and 10⁹ ohms. Your ESD programme or customer specification sets the exact requirement.

Do you provide test reports for audits?

Yes. We test at handover and give you the readings and test locations. Ongoing periodic testing should be part of your own ESD programme.

Can we move heavy racks on an ESD floor?

Yes, within reason. Use wide wheels or protective plates for very heavy racks, because deep gouges can break the conductive path.
