Concare, Inc. Captures The Trend Of ESD Testing With Its Specialty Flooring For ESD Environments

Concare, Inc., the awards winning industry leader of customized solutions for flooring protection and restoration, proves to be on the cutting edge of new testing standards by implementing ESD compliant flooring solutions across multiple manufacturing operations and industrial applications.

As of recent (2007), testing standards and trends for Electrostatic Dissipative materials (ESD), companies have shifted from controlling individual electrostatic components to focusing more on providing an electrostatic protected environment in which statically sensitive components are manufactured. The testing methods for ESD flooring have become more stringent, mainly because the range of acceptable test results has diminished. The passing standards for these tests are more restrictive due to an increased emphasis on body voltage generation (BVG) and the ensuing interaction throughout the entire electrostatically protected environment. With today's testing standards for ESD, the best way for a company to be compliant is to ensure that the environment has a uniform static control condition throughout the facility, including the floor that will safely function under all circumstances.

"Through our partnership with Protective Industrial Polymers (PIP), Concare, Inc. now has both the capability and the materials necessary to renovate any existing ESD floor as well as being able to bring all statically sensitive environments into compliance without a huge investment or excessive production ," said Ron Puszynski, President of Concare, Inc. "We teamed up with PIP to be their exclusive installers of their ESD flooring, making us the only flooring solution provider in the Midwest with the ability to deliver an ESD compliant floor in accordance with the new 2007 testing standards and trends."
