Conductive polymer earthing networks: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled electrostatic discharge causes equipment failure and safety hazards in industrial environments. These innovations engineer specific resin-filler matrices to ensure predictable surface resistivity and slip resistance.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Conductive polymer earthing networks?

Poor uncured material workability

(10)evidences

Subsurface gas entrapment and moisture reactions cause aesthetic and structural defects during curing. Eliminating these voids ensures surface integrity and long-term coating durability.

Substrate surface adhesion failure

(6)evidences

Uncontrolled static buildup on flooring surfaces creates ignition risks and electronic interference. Mitigating these discharge events ensures operational safety in industrial environments.

Surface charge accumulation and delamination

(5)evidences

Accumulated surface charges on industrial flooring and equipment lead to sudden electrical discharges. Preventing these events protects sensitive electronics and eliminates ignition risks in volatile environments.
