United ESD presents an innovative way to bond your new floor covering to a variety of substrates.  URAS allows the use of old flooring substrates (including sealed, painted or epoxy coated concrete or asbestos laden floor covering) as an underlayment for new flooring. Perfect for raised computer flooring and floors going into leased facilities (it doesn't leave a residue like liquid adhesives).   No need to disturb old asbestos laden flooring materials. Save time and aggravation by not removing well bonded VCT, floor sealers or epoxy.  Save the headaches of having to allow your floor time to cure before putting it to use (or the associated smell typical with liquid flooring adhesives). URAS works with a broad range of conductive AND standard flooring.  We've heard rumors that it's not for use with standard linoleum but if you have doubts, just take look at the results from this BRUTAL test at our warehouse. 

In this photo ElectraFloor ESD Vinyl has been installed over an old asbestos laden VCT (saved a ton over having the asbestos abatement experts come in and remove the old flooring and much safer too). This installation Technique was perfect for this leased facility. When the client moves the ESD floor goes with them!
