APPLICATION BY SPRAY
Conventional Spray Gun:
“E” fluid tip and
needle and #704, 765 or 78 air gap.
Airless Spray:
Spray gun and spray cap or
suitable orifice diameter 0.508-0.635 mm.
Mix paint thoroughly before using and stir
occasionally when applying. No thinning
necessary. Room temperature must be
above 10°C.
A minimum of two coats of Statguard
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 7°C. 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 StatguardFloor Finish static
dissipative coating to increase durability,
enhance shine, improve ease of
maintenance, and seal out dirt and debris.
Statguardis 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
Floor Finish.

Testing
Representative areas should be tested for
adhesion and electrical performance of the
paint before applying paint to the entire floor.
To best ensure consistent results, the test
should be done at various locations.
ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES:
Test the surface resistivity, point-to-point
resistance, and resistance-to-ground
properties of coated area per ANSI ESD-
S7.1 test method. For quick and easy
verification of the paint’s electrical
properties, Charleswater Europe
recommends the use of our 99100 Surface
Resistance Test Kit (Figure 4). For more
information request Technical Bulletin PPE-
5032E.

floor using Surface Resistance Test Kit, Item
#99100
ADHESION:
Allow newly applied paint to dry a minimum
of 48 hours before proceeding with the test.
At humidity levels over 55% RH, allow 72
hours of drying time before testing. Use a
razor to cut a cross or a few perpendicular
lines over a 75 mm by 75 mm area on
several spots of the thoroughly dried area.
Use a piece of masking tape to cover the
marked area. Make sure the tape is
thoroughly adhered to the test area. Pull the
tape off the surface and examine the
amount of paint which has peeled off during
the test. If any significant portion is
transfered to the tape, better surface
preparation (acid etching, cleaning or
sanding) should be done on the substrate to
enhance the adhesion.
