What is Electrostatic Discharge. (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge or static electricity happens when two surfaces come into contact such as foot traffic on a flooring system.
Electrostatic sparks may have enough energy to produce minor electric shocks, cause electronic damage, spoil mechanical components, disrupt production processes, and generate fires and explosion.
- When the charge is released onto an electronic device, the heat from the charge can melt the internal components of a device, causing it to fail.
- When a static charge exceeds a certain level, spontaneous discharges and sparks can occur.
That is why the primary means, or first line of defence in preventing damaging ESD events is to install an ESD flooring system.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT ESD RESIN FLOORING SYSTEM.
One product does not fit all, this is commonly confused within the industry. There are two different epoxy resin flooring (ESD) systems available to you. Conductive and dissipative are the two resistance categories used to describe the speed at which currents flow through a flooring material. The right choice of system is determined by your workspace activity. When it comes to selecting an industrial flooring solution for your Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA), we will help you to decide whether you require a Dissipative or Conductive resin floor system.
Having searched the web for local floor refurbishment companies we came across a few which included Diamond Resin, having asked for quotations from a few and carried out site visits we found the finish from Diamond Resin to be the best option. Gerry, their project manager came across as very enthusiastic and cost reasonable against other quotations.
We found Diamond Resin to be a very professional company. Floor coating for ITV News quote to completion. They completed the painting of our new studio floor on time, for a competitive price to a very high standard. We would use them again without hesitation.
Diamond Resin previously undertook works at two blocks that we manage. The service provided was excellent from start to finish and prices were competitive. All works were completed to a high standard and any snagging was dealt with in a timely manner.

TESTING
Upon completion of an ESD flooring installation we will carry out a Surface Test designed to measure resistance point-to-point (RTT) and surface to ground (RTG) of the completed work surface. We will supply you with a full written report.
Surface resistance tests measure the capacity of a material to resist the flow of electricity. To test surface resistance, an ohmmeter applies a current through a material, measures the voltage, and displays the resistance in ohms.

ANTI-STATIC FLOORING: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Quick answers to the questions we get asked most about our anti-static esd floor systems — from downtime and load capacity to safety, installation and lead times.
How quickly can the floor be back in use?
Standard epoxy is typically walk-on in 12–24 hours and full-traffic in 3–7 days. Where downtime is critical, our fast-cure MMA systems return to full traffic in 1–2 hours — so we can work overnight or zone-by-zone around live operations.
Can you install while we keep operating?
Yes. Most installs are phased — we section off areas, work nights or weekends, and sequence the install so racking and traffic keep moving. We plan the programme around your operation at the survey stage.
How long will the floor last?
With the right specification and proper preparation, our resin floors typically last 10+ years in heavy-duty environments. Every installation is backed by a workmanship guarantee.
Do you handle surface preparation and repairs?
Yes — full surface preparation is always included: shot-blasting or diamond grinding, joint and crack repair, moisture testing, and substrate priming.
