- Uses
PIP 100 ESD HB can be installed in many environments where the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) cannot be tolerated. Primary industries that use ESD flooring include Electronic Assembly, Data Processing, Military/Aerospace, Hazardous Industries (dust or explosion hazards). This system is intended for application over top of a Protective Industrial Polymers insulating epoxy primer or build coat.
- Limitations
Contamination and surface defects (fisheyes): If contaminates of oils, silicones, mold release agents and/or others are present, PIP 100 ESD HB may fisheye or crawl away from the surface. Surface contaminates should be removed with a suitable detergent and mechanical preparation prior to application. PIP 100 ESD HB ambers when exposed to high intensity lighting.
- Inspection and Application
Caution! Follow all precautions and instructions prior to installation.
Substrate: The substrate must be free of curing membranes, silicate surface hardener, paint, or sealer and be structurally sound. If you suspect concrete has been treated or sealed, proceed with complete removal process. Consult your PIP representative for further instruction if silicate hardeners or membranes have been utilized.
Moisture: Moisture and moisture vapor transmission rates are dynamic in nature and may change over time. Initial testing does not guarantee future results. If the relative humidity of the concrete substrate is over 75% (using ASTM F2170), Protective Industrial Polymers must be consulted and issue a written moisture mitigation recommendation prior to product use.
Vapor/Contamination: Testing for MVT does not guarantee against future problems. If there is no known vapor barrier or the vapor barrier is inadequate, there is an elevated risk of bond failure. Other factors including the migration of oils, chemicals, excessive salts or Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) from the concrete from may also elevate the risk of adhesion difficulties. Consult your PIP representative for approved mitigation treatments.
Temperature and Humidity: During the application and cure of the coating, the substrate temperature, material temperature and room conditions must be maintained between 65°F (18°C) and 80°F (27°C). Relative Humidity (RH) should be limited to 30-60%. Do not apply coatings unless the surface temperature is more than five degree over the dew point.
- Application Equipment
- Protective equipment and clothing
- Jiffy® Mixer Blade model ES
- Clean container for mixing material
- Low speed high torque drill motor
- High quality short nap roller covers- ¼ inch nap
- Application Squeegee
- Preparation
Surface dirt, grease, oil and contaminates must be removed by detergent scrubbing and rinsing with clean (clear) water.
Mechanical Preparation: Blasting or grinding the surface is the preferred method of preparation. The success of industrial diamond grinding as a concrete preparation method will vary depending on technique and the hardness of the concrete.
- Application
Mixing: Premix all components at slow speed prior to mixing together. Use a Jiffy® ES mix blade attach to a slow speed drill. Mix only enough material at one time not to exceed the pot life.
Colors: Premix designated color pack CPESD-xxx . The color pack should be added prior to adding the Part B curing agent.
Mix: Pre-mix Part A for 3 to 4 minutes. Add color pack and mix for 1 to 2 minutes or until color is uniform throughout the pail. Add Part B while mixing and mix an additional 2 minutes.
Apply PIP 100 ESD HB: at a rate of 12-20 mils to the floor surface using a notched squeegee. Back roll the wet coating using a ¼ inch nap mohair roller. Care should be taken to overlap and cross lap, but not over roll the coating introducing air to the surface.
Spreading Rate: Too little material may produce inconsistent or non-compliant electrical properties. The best practice is to measure and grid the floor to be sure of proper application rate and performance.
Curing (Drying): Allow the coating to cure (dry) for a minimum 24 hours after application at 75°F (24°C) and 50% RH before opening the floor to light traffic, allow more time for low temperatures and higher humidity or for heavier traffic. Full coating properties may take up to 7 days to develop.
Joints: All non moving joints (control joints) can be filled with a rigid or semi-rigid joint compound. Construction joints may be filled with semi-rigid joint filler and might need to be re-built and re-cut depending on conditions. Consult Protective Industrial Polymers for proper treatment of moving joints.
Recoat: PIP 100 ESD HB can be top coated with other Protective “ESD” epoxy coatings or may be used as a topcoat over existing (sound) epoxy coatings. Contact your PIP representative for instructions, testing and approval prior to top coating.
Bare Concrete Application: PIP 100 ESD HB must be applied over a PIP epoxy primer to seal and insulate the anti-static topcoat from erratic conductivity in the concrete. Use either PIP 1000 CR or PIP 1200 WR.
- Maintenance Guidelines
Allow floor coating to cure at least one week before cleaning by mechanical means (IE: sweeper, scrubber, disk buffer).
Care: Increased life of the floor will be seen with proper maintenance and will help maintain a fresh appearance of your new Protective Industrial Polymers floor. Regularly sweep to avoid ground in dirt and grit which can quickly dull the finish, decreasing the life of the coating. Spills should be removed quickly as certain chemicals may stain and can permanently damage the finish. Only soft nylon brushes or white pads should be used on your new floor coating. Premature loss of gloss can be caused by hard abrasive bristle Polypropylene (Tynex®) brushes.
Caution: Heavy objects dragged across the surface will scratch all floor coatings. Avoid gouging or scratching the surface. Pointed items or heavy items dropped on the floor may cause chipping or concrete pop out damage. Plasticizer migration from rubber tires can permanently stain the floor coating. If a rubber tire is planned to set on the floor for a long period of time, place a piece of acrylic sheet between the tire and the floor to prevent tire staining. Rubber burns from quick stops and starts from lift trucks can heat the coating to its softening point causing permanent damage and marking.
Repair: Repair gouges, chip outs, and scratches as soon as possible to prevent moisture and chemical under cutting and permanent damage to the floor coating.

- Mechanical Spark Resistance
This system creates an inert plastic barrier. It does not contain metallic or carbide fillers that can create an impact spark. Applied at the proper thickness over plastic aggregates, this system meets most requirements for non-sparking membrane surfaces.
- Electrical Grounding
An insulating Protective Industrial Polymers primer must be installed between the concrete surface and the ESD coating system. In cases where a conductive system is desired, a coat of PIP 125 ESD WR-GP must be applied in addition to the insulative top coat. The anti-static coating system must be grounded to an earth ground to function properly. Conductive copper tape installed to the primer every 1000 sq. ft. or approved contact points under the anti-static coating must be established. The copper tape and/or contact points must be connected to the buildings electrical ground or directly to an approved earth ground. The EOS/ESD Association provides instruction for proper grounding of ESD equipment and floors. Please contact Protective Industrial Polymers Inc. for proper grounding.
