ESD Conductive Adhesive

Conductive adhesive

Conductive adhesive is a specialized bonding solution designed to maintain electrical continuity in environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) control is critical—such as operating rooms, cleanrooms, laboratories, and manufacturing areas for electronics or medical devices.

System Components and Construction Process

To ensure proper performance, the following components must be installed in sequence:

  1. Conductive Flooring (ESD Vinyl Tiles or Sheets)
    Specialized floor coverings designed to conduct static electricity.

  2. Conductive Adhesive
    A carbon-loaded or metallic adhesive that ensures conductivity between the flooring and copper tape. Must be applied as per manufacturer’s specifications.

  3. Copper Grounding Strip (Copper Tape)
    Installed beneath the floor covering, this tape connects the conductive adhesive to the building’s grounding system. Usually placed every 6–10 meters and extended to an electrical ground point.

  4. Subfloor
    The subfloor must be dry, smooth, clean, and fully cured. Moisture levels should meet the flooring and adhesive manufacturer’s tolerances to avoid future failure.

Important Notes:

  • The entire surface under the conductive flooring must be covered with conductive adhesive—spot gluing is not acceptable.

  • Proper grounding of the copper tape is essential for the system’s effectiveness.

  • All components must be compatible and approved for use in ESD-sensitive areas.
