Strongcoat Conductive Method Statement

(Conductive floor with resistance between 5 x 104 and 1 x 106 ohms)
Section A : General Comments
High temperature working
It is suggested that, for temperatures above 35°C, the following guidelines are adopted as good working
practice:
(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature controlled) environment, avoiding exposure
to direct sunlight.
(ii) Keep equipment cool, arranging shade protection if necessary. It is especially important to keep cool
those surfaces of the equipment which will come into direct contact with the material itself.
(iii) Try to avoid application during the hottest times of the day.
(iv) Make sufficient material, plant and labour available to ensure that application is a continuous process.
Equipment
It is suggested that the following list of equipment is adopted as a minimum requirement:

Protective clothing : Protective overalls
: Good quality gloves, goggles and face mask
Preparation equipment : Suitable equipment/ materials to ensure proper
preparation of the substrate (see section 1.0)
Mixing equipment : 1 KW slow + multi-speed drill, (200 and 500 rpm settings), plus
mixing paddles and mixing vessel, or forced-action mixer, fitted
with a suitable paddle
Application equipment : Spiked roller and shoes
Spreading trowel or pin screed,
Chalk
Short haired rollers
Plastic broom
Section B : Application
The prevailing relative humidity should not exceed 75% at any stage of the application.
1.0 Surface Preparation
1.1 New concrete or cementitious substrates should be at least 28 days old and/or have moisture content
not exceeding 4% or a relative humidity less than 75%.
www.dcp-int.com
1.2 Existing concrete floors and walls, which require refurbishment, must be prepared to ensure a strong
adhesive bond between the conductive system and the existing substrate.
1.3 The substrate (new or existing) should be clean, sound and free from contamination such as mortar
and paint splashes curing compounds, oil and grease. Excess laitance deposits are best removed by
light mechanical scabbling, grinding or grit/captive blasting followed by vacuum cleaning to remove
dust debris. All preparation equipment should be of a type approved by DCP.
1.4 All blowholes, cracks and surface undulations greater than 0.6 mm in depth should be repaired with a
proprietary, repair compound – consult the local DCP office for specific recommendations.
1.5 Oil and grease contamination must be completely removed by grinding down to sound, clean concrete.
Alternatively, captive/grit blasting techniques can be used to provide the required substrate.
1.6 Where these methods are considered impracticable, alternative methods may be considered but a
clean, sound and dry substrate must still result. In particular it is essential that the substrate does not
suffer from conditions of rising damp. Any alternative preparations must be approved by DCP prior to
commencement of work, as the final performance of the system relies upon the performance of sound
substrates.
2.0 Priming
2.1 Immediately prior to priming, the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any remaining traces of
dust or other loose material.
2.2 Prepared substrates should be primed using stiff brushes and/or short hair roller.
2.3 Add the entire contents of the hardener tin to the base tin and mix the two primer components thoroughly
for at least 2 minutes – under no circumstances should part mixing be considered.
2.4 Once mixed, the primer should be applied immediately to the prepared substrate using stiff brushes and/or
short hair rollers. The primer should be well ‘scrubbed’ into the substrate to ensure full coverage, but care
should be taken to avoid over application or ‘puddling’.
2.5 Allow the primer to dry (see table below) before proceeding to the next stage, do not proceed whilst the
primer is ‘tacky’.
2.6 Porous substrates may require a second primer coat – when the first coat is directly absorbed into the
substrate – but minimum over coating times must still be observed (see table below).
2.7 The minimum over coating times will vary slightly according to the porosity of the substrate. However, they
should be in accordance with the following:
Ambient temperature at time of primer application
20oC 30oC 40oC
16 - 24 hours 12 - 24 hours 8 - 16 hours
www.dcp-int.com
2.8 Earthing and connection
2.8.1 When primer is dry, bond the copper tape (self- adhesive tape of a size 10 mm wide by 0.2 mm
thick) to the primed concrete and connect end of the tape to suitable earth point. This will include
existing earthing points or copper strips that are themselves connected to the earthling points.
Notes:
 Make sure that no part of the floor is more than 2.0 m away from the copper tape and the
perimeter tape is overlapped and applied at 300 - 500 mm from the edge of the wall.
 Extend the copper table to adequate number of earthing points depending on the floor area and
condition.
2.9 Bridging live joints (expansion joints) where continuous connection is required
2.9.1 Prime concrete surface as usual. Apply copper tape either side of joint ensuring that the tape
within the joint is looped at least 20 mm below floor level. Fill chase with a suitable repair
product.
2.9.2 Overcoat the exposed copper tape with Strongcoat Conductive Basecoat using the plastic
broom.
2.9.3 Fill top of joint with closed cell polythene backer rod and overlay joint completely with
Strongcoat Conductive Top Coat F ensuring that path of joints is clearly marked.
3.0 Conductive Basecoat
3.1 Strongcoat Conductive Basecoat should only be applied within 24 hours of the primer curing.
www.dcp-int.com
3.2 The Basecoat should be mixed with a slow speed drill and suitable mixing paddle. Content of base
should be added to the hardener and mixed for at least 3 min. Frequently scrape the sides and bottom
of the container. When mixed the basecoat should be applied to the primed concrete using a proper
medium hard plastic broom.
3.3 On a reasonably smooth substrate, aim to maintain a coverage of about 4.5 m2/kg. This is best
achieved by measuring and marking out the floor in the form of a grid so that the area corresponding
to each pack of material is clearly visible.
3.4 Use a small (25 mm) paintbrush to work the basecoat into any earthing or bridging points (where used)
as a good contact is essential at these points.
3.5 The Basecoat will cure in less than 24 hour depending upon conditions and is ready to receive the
topcoat when a finger drawn across the surface picks up only minimal black traces. At this point, the
Basecoat should be foot trafficable in clean footwear without exhibiting tack.
4.0 Top Coat
4.1 Top Coat F

4.1.1 Taking care to ensure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scraped, transfer the entire
contents of the resin and hardener and colour pack into a separate mixing container.
4.1.2 Using a jiffy-type mixer attached to a slow-running electric drill, mix for approximately for 2
minutes. Once the Strongcoat Conductive Top Coat F hardener, resin and colour pack have
been mixed, transfer the entire contents into a Casco or Creteangel-type mixer, taking care to
ensure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scrapped.
4.1.3 Start the mixer and transfer to it the entire contents of the Strongcoat Conductive Top Coat F
filler container, taking care to ensure that these are completely dry and lump-free.
4.1.4 Continue mixing for approximately 2 minutes. Once mixing is complete, transfer the mixed
materials to the prime surface at the required thickness by rack.
4.1.5 Care should be taken when joining the lanes, to achieve a smooth connection. It is
recommended to mask off edges with tape which is then removed while product is still wet.
4.1.6 The laid product should be rolled using a spiked roller shortly (10 minutes) after application.
This first rolling should be at right angles to the direction of laying and should be carried out in
a controlled backward/forward motion, while the second rolling should be done after 20
minutes in a perpendicular direction to the first one.
4.2 Top Coat W
4.2.1 Prior to mixing, stir individual components of Resin, Hardener. Drill the hardener for 2 minutes till it is
uniform. Add the entire contents of the base container to the hardener and mix thoroughly for at least 3
minutes.
4.2.2 Use brush or lambs wool roller, or airless spray machine to apply the mixed Strongcoat Conductive Top
Coat W on the prepared surfaces.
www.dcp-int.com
4.2.3 Apply 2 coats of Strongcoat Conductive Top Coat W at 6 m²/kg per coat, second coat should be applied
at a right angle to the first coat.
4.2.4 The second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat has initially dried. Drying time will depend on
the substrate and the ambient conditions. If the over coating time is exceeded the first coat must be
abraded with sand paper prior to the application of the second coat.
4.2.5 Adequate ventilation must be provided to ensure that necessary drying and curing of the material is
achieved.
2.0 Testing
2.1 Once cleaned, the total system should be tested for conductivity using the test method laid down in
Appendix 1, and the results recorded. The average resistance of the floor to earth when tested by this
method should be between 5 x 104 ohms and 106 ohms. It is recommended that approximately 10
readings are taken per slab.
Notes:
 It is recommended to measure the conductivity of the Basecoat firstly prior to overcoat it with
the topcoat in order to ensure that it has been mixed and applied properly, typically, the
electrical resistance of the Basecoat should be in range of 4x103 ohms (surface-to-surface and
surface-to-ground).
 Strongcoat Conductive Topcoat should be applied at 2.0 mm thickness, otherwise, the electrical
conductivity of the system will be affected.
3.0 Floor Maintenance & Repair
It may be necessary, after installation, to repair small areas of the floor which become damaged. When this is
required,
 saw-cut around the damaged area
 hack out the existing floor down to clean concrete
 level damaged concrete with suitable epoxy repair mortars to about 3 mm below the existing floor
surface
 prime the substrate as in section 2
 apply Strongcoat Conductive basecoat and topcoat as in previous sections flush with the existing floor
surface.
In order to maintain antistatic properties, it is important to implement a regular cleaning regime for the
installed product. Cleaning is best carried out using a rotary floor scrubber and water miscible cleaning agents.
Should the client seek advice on polishing the floor surface, we recommend the study of various “topical
antistats” for this. Many conventional polishes may interfere with the product’s antistatic properties.

APPENDICES
APPENDIX 1 - STRONGCOAT CONDUCTIVE TEST METHOD
Apparatus
Resistance Measurement Apparatus: A meter that is capable of making measurements or making indications
from 1.0 x 103 ohms to 1.0 x 1012 ohms. Typically the measurements will be made at 10 volts or 100 volts.
Resistance Measurement Electrode: Cylindrical electrode, 2.27 kg ± 0.05 kg with a diameter of 63.5 mm ± 3 mm
and Shore A durometer hardness between 50 and 70.
Suitable connection leads.
Paper tissue and plain water.
Aluminum foil.
Method
1. The flooring system should be always kept clean and free from any contaminations or foreign materials
that may affect the electrical conductivity.
2. Connect one end of the first test lead to the electrode, and the other end of the first test lead to the
integrated checker or meter. Connect one end of the second test lead also to the integrated checker or
meter, and the other end of the second test lead to ground reference.
3. Place the electrode on the ESD floor surface.

4. Apply 10 volts and wait 5 seconds for the meter to stabilize. If the indicated resistance is less than 1.0 x 106
ohms, note the resistance. If the indicated resistance is equal to or greater than 1.0 x 106 ohms, switch the
meter to 100 volts and retest. Note the resistance after the meter stabilizes or after 15 seconds.
5. Switching the test voltage to 100 volts may result in a resistance reading of less than 1.0 x 106 ohms. When
this occurs, the reading made with the 100 volt test voltage is used.
Results
Report results of all the tests and a mean value for the tests.

practice:
- Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature controlled) environment, avoiding
exposure to direct sunlight.
- Keep equipment cool, arranging shade protection if necessary. It is especially important to keep
cool those surfaces of the equipment which will come into direct contact with the material itself.

Section B : Application
1.0 Substrate Preparation
1.1 New concrete or cementitious substrates should be at least 28 days old and/or have
moisture content not exceeding 4% or a relative humidity less than 75%.
1.2 Existing concrete floors, which require refurbishment, must be prepared to ensure a
strong adhesive bond between the flooring system and the existing floor.
1.3 The substrate (new or existing) should be clean, sound, levelled and free from
contamination such as mortar and paint splashes, curing compounds, oil and grease.
1.4 Excess laitance deposits are best removed by light mechanical scabbling, grinding or
grit/captive blasting followed by vacuum cleaning to remove dust debris. All
preparation equipment should be of a type approved by DCP.
1.5 All blowholes, cracks and surface undulations greater than 0.6 mm in depth should
be repaired with a proprietary, repair compound. Consult the DCP’s Technical
Department for specific recommendations (Fig.8).
Page 3 of 14
Fig.8: Repair of pinholes using Quickmast 341
1.6 Oil and grease contamination must be completely removed by grinding down to
sound, clean concrete. Alternatively, grit blasting techniques can be used to provide
the required substrate.
1.7 Where these methods are considered impracticable, alternative methods may be
considered but a clean, sound and dry substrate must still result. In particular it is
essential that the substrate does not suffer from conditions of rising damp. Any
alternative preparations must be approved by DCP prior to commencement of work,
as the final performance of the system relies upon the performance of sound and
level substrates.
Note
For the best results, the application should be done when the ambient temperature
is greater than 15˚C, if the expected temperature onsite is lower than this, it is
recommended to store the product at warm rooms (i.e. 25˚C) 24 hours prior to the
application, In all ways, the substrate and ambient temperatures must stay above
10˚C so that epoxy resin can cure.
2.0 Priming
2.1 Immediately prior to priming, the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any
remaining traces of dust or other loose material.
2.2 Add the entire contents of the hardener tin to the base tin and mix the two components
thoroughly for at least 2 minutes – under no circumstances should part mixing be
considered.
Page 4 of 14
2.3 Once mixed, the primer should be applied immediately to the prepared substrate at a rate
of 5 m2/kg using short hair rollers. The primer should be well ‘scrubbed’ into the substrate
to ensure full coverage, but care should be taken to avoid over application or ‘puddling’.
(Fig. 9)
Fig.9: Application of Strongcoat Primer

2.4 Allow the primer to dry before proceeding to the next stage, do not proceed whilst the
primer is ‘tacky’.
2.5 Porous substrates may require a second primer coat – when the first coat is directly
absorbed into the substrate – but minimum over coating times must still be observed.
2.6 The minimum over coating times will vary according to the porosity of the substrate and
ambient conditions. However, it is recommended to leave the primer for 12 to 24 hours
prior to be overcoated.
3.0 Installation of Copper Tape and Earthing

3.1 Once the primer is dry, self- adhesive copper tape with a minimum width of 12 mm and
around 60 micron thickness should be placed on the primed concrete (Fig.10). The end of
the tapes should be connected to suitable earth points.
Page 5 of 14
Fig.10: Placement of copper tape
3.2 Make sure that no part of the floor is more than 2 m away from the copper tape and the
perimeter tape is overlapped and applied at 300 – 500 mm from the edge of the wall.
3.3 Extend the copper tape to adequate number of earthing points depending on the floor
area and condition. In general it is recommended to have at least one earthing point for
every 92 m2 area, provided that 2 earthing points are needed for each separate area.
Important:
Placement of copper tape and earthing works should be approved by an electrical
engineer/consultant who has extensive experience in the implementation and testing of
electrostatics discharge flooring systems.
3.4 Where continuous connection is needed, expansion joints should be bridged following
these steps (Fig.11):
3.4.1 Prime concrete surface as usual. Apply copper tape either side of joint
ensuring that the tape within the joint is looped freely in the joint to a length
sufficient for accommodating the expected joint movement.
3.4.2 Using a short hair roller, apply Strongcoat Conductive Basecoat over the
exposed copper tape including the inner and outer sides of the joints taking
into account the allowable overcoating time.
3.4.3 Upon completion of the Strongcoat Conductive Topcoat layer (as will
illustrated later), fill the joints with a suitable proprietary elastic sealant from
Flexseal Range in conjunction with compressible backing rod (i.e. Cellrod).
Page 6 of 14
Fig.11: Bridging of expansion joints
4.0 Application of Strongcoat Conductive Basecoat

4.1 Strongcoat Conductive Basecoat should only be applied within the overcoating time stated
above.
4.2 The Basecoat should be mixed with a slow speed drill and suitable helix type paddle. The
entire contents of the base should be added to the hardener and mixed for at least 3
minutes. Frequently scrape the sides and bottom of the container. When mixed, the
Basecoat should be applied to the primed concrete using a proper short hair roller (Fig.12).
Fig.12: Application of Strongcoat Conductive Basecoat

4.3 On a reasonably smooth substrate, aim to maintain a coverage of 4.5 m2/kg. This is best
achieved by measuring and marking out the floor in the form of a grid so that the area
corresponding to each pack of material is clearly visible.
Page 7 of 14
4.4 Use a small (25 mm) paintbrush to apply the Basecoat into any earthing or bridging points
(where used) as a good contact is essential at these points.
4.5 The Basecoat will cure in around 24 hour depending upon conditions and is ready to
receive the Topcoat when a finger drawn across the surface does not pick up any black
traces. At this point, the Basecoat should be foot trafficable in clean footwear without
exhibiting tack.
5.0 Application of Strongcoat Conductive Topcoat

5.1 Transfer the entire contents of the resin and hardener and colour pack into a separate
mixing container and mix them using a jiffy type mixer for 2 minutes until uniform
consistency is achieved.
5.2 Transfer the entire contents of the mixture into a creteangel-type mixer, and start
mixing while adding the filler part gradually for two minutes until a uniform lumps-
free consistency is active.
5.3 Once mixed, the Topcoat should be laid using a V-shape notched trowel or pin leveler
at a coverage rate of 3.2 kg/m2 to achieve 2.0 mm thickness. Good lighting conditions
will assist in even application and spotting the poorly covered areas.
5.4 The following steps are crucial to ensure that the Strongcoat Conductive will work
effectively:
5.4.1 Large application areas must be divided into small manageable areas to
ensure a proper coverage.
5.4.2 The Topcoat should be laid using a pin leveler in one uniform direction.
5.4.3 Directly after laying the Topcoat, V-shape notched trowel should be used
to comb the layer in the same direction of laying. This is highly
recommended so that active conductive ingredients are aligned in one
direction prior to spiking (Fig.13).
Fig.13 Combing of Strongcoat Conductive Topcoat using V-shape trowel
Page 8 of 14
5.4.4 10 minutes after laying and combing the topcoat layer, it should be rolled
using a spike roller. This first rolling should be at right angle to the
direction of laying and should be carried out in a controlled
backward/forward motion.
5.4.5 After further 15-20 minutes, a second roller of the coat should be done in
a perpendicular direction to the first rolling (i.e. same direction of laying
and combing). (Fig.14)
Fig.14: Spiking of Strongcoat Conductive Topcoat

5.4.6 At normal ambient conditions, it is recommended that each kit is laid and
finished within 40-45 minutes after mixing. At high ambient
temperatures, the application rate should be expedited to maintain a
proper performance and finishing for the installed floor.
Notes
It is recommended to measure the conductivity of the Basecoat firstly prior to
overcoat it with the Topcoat in order to ensure that it has been mixed and
applied properly, typically, the electrical resistance of the Basecoat should be in
range of 2 to 4x103 ohms (surface-to-surface and surface-to-ground).
Strongcoat Conductive Topcoat should be applied at 2.0 mm thickness, otherwise,
the electrical conductivity of the system will be affected.
6.0 Onsite Verification and Testing

6.1 The testing procedure depends on the intended function of the ESD flooring system.
In general, for usages other than areas where explosives, flammables and ordnance
are handled, follow the compliance verification in accordance with ANSI/ESD S20.20
Table 2. See Appendix A for further information.
6.2 For application in areas where explosives, flammables and ordnance are handled,
follow the testing procedure as in ASTM F150. See appendix B for further information.
6.3 When applied in accordance with this Method Statement, Strongcoat Conductive is
designed to fulfill the requirements of the above mentioned standards with electrical
resistance between 2.5x104 – 1.0x106 ohms. However, Strongcoat Conductive must
Page 9 of 14
be viewed as part of an ESD system which includes the floor, footwear, wrist strap
and individuals. The entire ESD system must be tested in accordance with ANSI/ESD
S20.20 Personnel Grounding Requirement (Table 2) to ensure the safety of the users.
6.4 On large areas of application where some of the above mentioned instructions cannot
be preciously followed, it is expected to have some variations in the electrical
characteristics of the ESD flooring system. However, the performance should be
accepted as long as the below criteria are achieved:
6.4.1 For areas other than where explosives, flammables and ordnance are
handled, the criteria of ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 should be followed which
is stated that the required limit for flooring/footwear systems shall not
exceed 3.5 x107 ohms when the system is tested in accordance with the
ESD TR53-01-15 as shown in Appendix A.
6.4.2 For areas where explosives, flammables and ordnance are handled, DOD
Contractor’s Safety Manual For Ammunition and Explosives criteria
should be followed which states that the maximum resistance of a body,
plus the resistance of the conductive shoes, plus the resistance of the
floor to the ground system shall not exceed 1.0 x106 ohms total (i.e.
surface to ground resistance not more than 5x105 ohms and combined
resistance allowed for the person’s body plus the resistance of the
conductive shoes not more than 5x105 ohms) when tested in accordance
with appendix B.
Section C : Note
This method statement is offered by DCP as a ‘standard proposal’ for the application of Strongcoat
Conductive. It remains the responsibility of the Engineer to determine the correct method for any given
application. Where alternative methods are to be used, these must be submitted to DCP for approval, in
writing, prior to commencement of any work. DCP will not accept responsibility or liability for variations to
the above method statement under any other condition.
