Static Control Vinyl Floor Tile 8400 Series
The need for static protection to drain electrostatic charges from personnel and materials is well accepted
in many industries. Whether safeguarding sensitive electronic components during manufacture or service
or helping control charge in a computer room or munitions factory, a key element of an ESD (electrostatic
discharge) prevention program is the use of a properly designed flooring system.
Description
Static Control Vinyl Floor Tile 8400 Series is a long-term solution for helping control ESD. This solid vinyl
tile is durable and attractive and can easily be installed by competent flooring contractors. The flexible,
resilient tiles are made with only 100% pure vinyl and contain a minimum amount of filler and none of the
regrind that can make tile brittle. Both the “conductive” and “static-dissipative” versions are available in
a selection of bright, vivid colors. A proprietary manufacturing process completely seals in the conductive
carbon medium, resulting in a unique tile that can be easily cleaned and shined to a gloss while
maintaining its electrical properties – without the use of an ESD wax or polish.
Key Features
• Lifetime warranty on electrical performance
• 10-year limited warranty on materials
• Long-term ESD protection
• Excellent wear resistance and durability
• Easy, low-cost maintenance
• Made with 100% pure homogeneous vinyl; no regrind
• Micro-edged for squareness for ease of installation
