Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring
Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring Total Protection for Sensitive Uses
Static electricity may appear harmless in day-to-day applications, yet it can destroy costly equipment, destroy data, or even be life-threatening in sensitive environments. Our anti-static epoxy floor coating provides a protected path to ground, regularly releasing static charges before they accumulate to damaging levels.
We’ve installed our epoxy anti-static flooring in many Hawaiian facilities where precision and protection aren’t options, including:
- Electronics manufacturing facilities
- Server rooms and data centers
- Medical centers with delicate equipment
- Laboratories for research
- Manufacturing areas and clean rooms
- Aircraft maintenance facilities
How Our Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring System Works
Our anti-static epoxy floor paint system differs from typical epoxy flooring in that it utilizes special conductive materials that safely direct static electricity to points of grounding. This provides a continuous path with no static buildup and still achieves superior durability and chemical resistance as you would want from high-end epoxy surfaces.
The system generally includes:
- A well-prepared concrete base
- Our proprietary conductive primer coat
- The anti-static epoxy floor coating with specified electrical resistance characteristics
- Optional topcoats for increased wear or special application
All of the layers functioning together to produce a floor that retains static dissipative characteristics throughout its entire lifespan, not only on the surface.
Other Benefits Beyond Static Protection
By investing in Mauie Epoxy Solutions’ anti-static flooring, you’re not only gaining static protection. Our flooring systems provide:
- Seamless Protection: With no joints or grout lines, our anti-static epoxy floors leave no hiding place for dust and impurities, perfect for clean facilities.
- Chemical Resistance: Our proprietary formulas resist aggressive chemicals and cleaning chemicals without compromising anti-static properties.
- Visual Attraction: Form and function are combined. We provide a variety of color and finish levels that match with your building but also serve technical requirements.
- Long-Term Return: Although anti-static epoxy flooring price can be more than normal epoxy in the beginning, the protection that it gives to your equipment and processes offers an outstanding return on investment.
- Simple Maintenance: Our floors need minimal maintenance but retain their electrical characteristics and look good for many years.

What Is Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring? An Explanation of the Science
Anti-static epoxy flooring is designed specifically to manage static electricity through an electrical resistance usually between 10^6 and 10^9 ohms. This should dissipate dangerous static charges safely but avoid making the floor too conductive and hence create other electrical problems.
The distinction of anti-static from regular epoxy floor coating is in the incorporation of advanced conductive elements in the epoxy matrix. They form nano-scale pathways whereby static electricity passes into grounding points in order to avoid build-up to potentially harmful levels that can compromise sensitive equipment or pose hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anti-Static Epoxy Flooring
With good installation and maintenance, our anti-static epoxy floor coatings generally will still be performing well 7-10 years under commercial conditions before needing extensive refurbishment. Actual lifespan will depend upon use traffic, chemical usage, and maintenance habits. We can give you a more accurate estimate based on your facility conditions at our first consultation.
Anti-static epoxy floors are easy to clean but need special cleaners to preserve the static-dissipative properties. Cleaning should be performed with pH-neutral cleaners designed for conductive flooring. Do not use waxes and polish since these chemicals will affect the electrical characteristics of the floor. We offer all customers with comprehensive maintenance instructions specific to their individual installation.
Although both are able to control static electricity, they have other electrical resistance characteristics. Typical resistance for anti-static epoxy flooring is 10^6 to 10^9 ohms, dissipating static safely while giving some degree of electrical insulation. Conductive flooring is less resistant (10^4 to 10^6 ohms) and facilitates the passage of electricity more easily. We will assist you in selecting which system is most appropriate for your particular application based on equipment sensitivity and safety issues.
Anti-static epoxy floor cost generally falls in the range of $7-15 per square foot installed in Hawaii, depending on site conditions, preparation needs, and system demands. Though this is an additional premium over conventional epoxy systems, the degree of protection it will give sensitive equipment will pay for itself hundreds of times over. We offer complete, open quotes following site evaluation to keep you informed of the investment.
In a few instances, we can install our anti-static epoxy floor system over existing floors, as long as they are structurally sound and properly prepared. For mission-critical use where accuracy in electrical resistance is necessary, however, we generally advise against laying over existing flooring to provide for successful bonding and uniform electrical properties. We will inspect your existing flooring upon consultation to determine the most effective course of action.
