ElectraGuard was originally invented for use in DOD munitions applications and first put to work for esd control at General Dynamics in 1992. Over the years it was further refined with patented advancements in structural integrity. Now? ElectraGuard Elite is exclusive to United ESD. With no coating failures, loss of conductivity or wear performance issues since it's inception, ElectraGuard is a proven performer at a realistic price. Other ESD floor paints are latex  / acrylic based and may show signs of coating failure after a mere 2 years. Not so with ElectraGuard.  ElectraGuard - Wear characteristics far superior to mere solvent based urethanes and latex paints, rivaling those of thick set esd epoxy flooring without the associated toxicity, disposal considerations and environmental impact.  ElectraGuard - Powerful permanent conductivity and (unlike most esd vinyl floors) is capable of handling forklift and other heavy duty industrial traffic. Leave "as is" for low glare matt finish or top coat with ElectraThane Sealer followed by ElectraGlaze ESD Floor Finish (the ElectraGuard Tri-Layer Full System) for a diamond like shine and ultimate wear resistance.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW:

New concrete substrates should be allowed to cure for at least sixty days prior to application of this product.  Applications to floors colder than 60 ⁰ F is not recommended.  Sweep and vacuum flooring substrate. If contaminated mop with, a neutral degreaser to remove oil, grease and soil. For exceedingly smooth troweled concrete, concrete that does not readily absorb water, sealed concrete or concrete coated with parting compounds the concrete may be etched with standard concrete etching solutions diluted per manufacturers recommendations, thoroughly rinse with water and allow to dry overnight. Etching may generally be replaced by screen disking or sanding (80 grit pads or rougher) If substrate has been previously coated, a small area should be cleaned and roughed up by  a screen disking with a 80 grit screen.  Test ElectraGuard for adhesion, lifting etc.  Any areas of the existing coating which display poor adhesion should be stripped.  Wash the stripped areas, acid rinse, thoroughly rinse with water and allow to fully dry prior to application of ElectraGuard.  Catalyzed ElectraGuard should be used within six hours of mixing, therefore prepare only the quantity necessary for immediate use.  Add the pre-measured catalyst to epoxy base.  Stir gently until the catalyst has been thoroughly mixed in.  Allow catalyzed mixture to stand 5 minutes.  Apply catalyzed material with a short nap roller in thin uniform coats.  The initial coat will cover approximately 250 to 500 square feet per gallon.  Second coat coverage is approximately 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.  A third coat provides optimum esthetics and is highly recommended. Note: United recommends the use of Titanium Mats or very soft rubberized esd chair casters when rolling chairs directly over this product, esd vinyl tiles and esd thick set epoxy (virtually any and all hard surface esd flooring).  Soft chair casters look like hard casters but have a very soft rubberized coating on the wheels. ElectraGuard ESD Epoxy is a thin set epoxy (approximately 3 to 10 mil thickness) much tougher and longer lasting than ESD paints.  Due to it's reduced solids count and thin set benefits ElectraGuard may exhibit slight variances in texture and color depending on the substrate of application. These variances do not affect the excellent electrical performance or wear characteristics.  This product is available in gray, light gray, beige and green and as applied features a non glare matt finish. Should high shine be desired consider sealing the ElectraGuard with ElectraThane and ElectraGlaze (see application instructions for details). Application Instructions  

TYPICAL MAINTENANCE:

1) Dust Mop Daily.

 

2) Damp mop weekly using a diluted solution of ElectraClean and water. Note: Never use plain water or other floor cleaning chemicals as this may leave an insulative residue.

 

3) Auto Scrub every two months or as needed to remove ground in dirt and contaminants, start with lightest pad possible.

 

4) As needed: high speed polish using a white or champagne colored pad and ElectraShine polishing spray.
