We will all be familiar with the effects of the build up of static electricity. Taking off a sweater made from synthetic fibre will often be accompanied with crackling sounds as sparks jump across. On some days we can experience unpleasant shocks from touching car door handles particularly when wearing shoes with synthetic soles. The same effects are responsible for the adhesion of dust on still surfaces. Under normal conditions these effects are, at the most, merely unpleasant but not particularly dangerous. However in the industrial environment such electrostatic build-up can cause sparks of sufficient intensity to ignite vapours of flammable gas, cause dust explosions, or disrupt sensitive electronic equipment.

Anti-static grades of resin flooring are available in Types 3 to 8 (coatings, self-smoothing and trowel applied screeds). It is important for the specifier to understand that there is a wide range of products and properties available and to select the system that best meets the requirements for the working environment as a whole and to not treat the individual elements in isolation.
