The Static Threat
In data centers and server farms, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a silent killer of hardware. Conductive and dissipative flooring systems are the first line of defense, grounding static charges safely.
The Conductivity-Moisture Link
ESD flooring systems rely on specific conductive adhesives and grounding strips.
- Conductivity Disruption: Excess moisture in the concrete slab can disrupt the electrical continuity of the flooring system.
- Adhesive Failure: Conductive adhesives are often more sensitive to moisture and alkalinity than standard glues. A failure in the bond can break the ground path, rendering the ESD protection useless.
Verifying the Ground
IFTI specializes in testing for mission-critical environments. We ensure the slab moisture levels are within the narrow tolerance required for ESD systems. We help you protect the data that powers the world.
