statguard ? conductive acrylic paint application instructions charleswater europe?s conductive acrylic paint is a durable acrylic paint that is conductive in accordance with mil-hdbk-283-b figure 1, item no. 71016, 3.8 litres description charleswater europe?s statguard ? conductive acrylic paint is a one part floor coating formulated to produce controlled dissipation of static electrical charges. conductive acrylic paint is very effective as a static control floor coating for electronics manufacturing, assembly, and storage. it is available in grey in a 3.8 litre container as item no. 71016 and in 19 litre container as item no. 71017. general guidelines grounding: conventional grounding practices like connecting painted surfaces to ground or internal building grounds are only required for applications of statguard ? conductive acrylic paint that are not in excess of 1.8 square metres. for applications that are greater than 1.8 square metres, grounding should not be required. the electrical properties of conductive paint enable the surface to dissipate 5000 volts to zero in less than 0.01 seconds per ftms 101c, method 4046 without conventional grounds. the conductive paint becomes a capaci- tance reservoir that effectively drains static charges. foot grounders should be used in conjunction with flooring painted with statguard ? conductive acrylic paint to properly ground personnel. for more information, please contact the charleswater europe factory. surface preparation the two most important characteristics for successful application of statguard ? conductive acrylic paint applications are: 1. the surface must be clean, dry, dull, and smooth. heavy dirt or grease build-up should be removed with a stripper or degreaser. cleaning methods range from: sweeping, vacuuming, wire brush, air- blasting, water jet, steam cleaning, or stripping. 2. if the surface is concrete, it must be in good condition. concrete: new concrete should cure for a minimum of 28 days before coating with statguard ? conductive acrylic paint. not all concrete is created equal -- concrete surfaces vary widely in physical and chemical qualities due to the way the concrete was originally formulated, poured, or finished. there are several methods to prepare problem concrete. each method depends on the condition of the concrete. adhesion properties can be increased by profiling or roughing the surface through acid etching, rotary drum sanding, scarifying, or mechanically scratching the surface. priming: statguard ? conductive acrylic paint bonds well to clean, dry concrete. however, a standard industrial primer can be used on certain difficult to bond substrates and enhance the adhesion of statguard ? conductive acrylic paint. previously painted surfaces: the surface should be clean and free of dust, grease, wax, and soap residue. wash with ordinary detergent and water. rinse thoroughly with clean water and let dry. glossy surfaces can be dulled by lightly sanding and then vacuuming, and cleaning. cracks and holes should be repaired before applying the statguard ? conductive acrylic paint. adhesion can be improved by using a standard industrial type primer. unpainted surfaces: adhesion can be improved by using a standard industrial type primer. metal should be primed with red oxide primer. concrete, wood, plastics, and most other surfaces should be properly cleaned. let dry and then apply statguard ? conductive acrylic paint. coverage: statguard ? conductive acrylic paint will cover 28 to 37 square metres at a 1 to 1.5 mm thick dry film per 3.8 litre on a smooth surface. coverage is less on coarse or textured surfaces. two coats are recommended to achieve maximum performance from the paint. application always use in a well ventilated area or wear a suitable respirator. wear appropriate eye protection such as splash goggles and impervious type protection gloves to protect hands. application by roller 1. stir paint thoroughly to mix any settled solids to produce uniform grey colour. 2. combine separate cans of paint into one container to ensure uniform colour distri- bution. it is recommended that a test area be coated to ensure that the adhesion and electrical performance of the paint is acceptable. (see adhesion testing, figure 5.) if the test areas show inadequate adhesion, use an industrial floor primer/sealer. 3. saturate a 6.35 mm fine nap roller or an industrial brush with paint. remove excess paint and trapped air from the applicator by moving applicator several times in the paint tray. 4. a minimum number of strokes from the applicator on the substrate is recommended to minimise air bubbles. figure 2. paint application with roller. unit 17. millbrook business park, sybron way ? crowborough, east sussex tn6 3jz united kingdom phone: 00 44 (0) 1892-665313, fax: 00 44 (0) 1892-668838 ? e-mail: info@charleswater.co.uk, internet: www.charleswater.co.uk ppe-5019e 03/00 page 1 of 4 1. mix any settled solids to produce a uniform grey colour. 2. combine separate cans into a larger container. 3. saturate a 6.35mm fine nap roller with paint, remove excess paint and trapped air. 4. a minimum number of strokes from the applicator is recommended.

conductive acrylic paint is recommended for appropriate static protection. figure 3. spray paint application clean up wash applicators with water immediately after painting. remove paint spills promptly with a wet cloth. close container after each use. keep container from freezing. drying it is recommended that conductive acrylic paint be allowed to dry at a temperature in excess of 7c. a minimum of 1 to 2 hours drying time should be allowed before applying the second coat. wait a minimum of 12 hours drying time after the last coat before allowing light traffic on the coated area. at high humidity levels, a longer drying time may be necessary. do not force dry. maintenance use sweeper, vacuum, or broom to remove dirt. allow two weeks drying time before using a damp mop to clean the coated area. do not use abrasive cleaners, floor rinse, or scrubbing machine to clean the floor. optional finish/sealer charleswater europe?s statguard ? conductive acrylic paint can be over-coated or sealed with statguard ? floor finish static dissipative coating to increase durability, enhance shine, improve ease of maintenance, and seal out dirt and debris. statguard ? is a polymer base floor finish/sealer that can be used as a top coat on the conductive acrylic paint. surface resistivity will then be in the 10 6 -10 7 ohms range. two coats are recommended. three coats will increase electrical properties, durability and reduce frequency of maintenance. ask for technical bulletin ppe-5023e for more information on statguard ?
