Sherwin-Williams "3425E static control waterbased epoxy coating" is a high solid, two component epoxy coating designed as a coating or topcoat over standard flooring systems to provide a static dissipative flooring system in the range of 106 to 109 ohms resistance. It is an ideal flooring finish in computer rooms, circuit board assembly areas, hangars and where highly sensitive electronic equipment is used regularly. It provides good resistance to wear, abrasion and chemical attack from most common alkalis and acids. Conductive flooring is required in flammable material handling areas, black powder storage areas and other areas where highly explosive materials are present. In tests, the new waterbased system has performed better at static dissipation than solventbased systems. In addition, the coating is breathable, which makes it a good choice for older concrete floors or where moisture has been an issue in the past. Because the new primer and coating are low odor, they can be installed in occupied spaces without disrupting tenants. The coating and primer are very easy to apply, can be cleaned up with soap and water, and do not sacrifice dry time and speed-to-cure when compared to traditional conductive solventbased epoxy systems.
