Series 234ESD
Static-Shield EP
Generic Type
Modified Novolac Polyamine Epoxy - Electrostatic Dissipative
Common Usage
Commonly used in facilities that manufacture, process, assemble, package, service, inspect or otherwise handle electrical or electronic parts, assemblies and equipment susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharges which have established, implemented and maintain an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control Program. Also used in data centers, clean room/labs, computer rooms, military/aerospace, avionics, automotive manufacturing or any environments where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a nuisance or may have damaging effects.
Formulated using single wall carbon technology specifically designed to provide superior electrical conductivity and enhanced mechanical properties. Ensures permanent and uniform electrical conductivity eliminating “hot spots". Designed for static dissipative resistance in the range of 1x10^6^ to 1x10^9^ (one million to one billion) ohms surface resistance when testing point to point/point to ground for establishing floor resistance values per ANSI/ESD S20.20. Project specifications and application specifics should clearly indicate what resistance range is required. Note: Not intended for industries requiring protection against explosion hazards such as dust, fuels, and solvents or electrically initiated explosive compounds and devices.

Recommended DFT
12.0 to 16.0 mils (305 to 405 microns).
Intermediate
Pigmented Series N222, N222FC, 233, or 239. Note: If N222, N222FC, or 233 are used to build broadcast, slurry, or mortar systems, they must be fully grouted and sealed with pigmented N222, N222FC, 233, or 239 to fully insulate them prior to applying the 234ESD to ensure proper electrostatic dissipative surface resistance values.

Curing Time
| Temperature | Light Traffic | To Service | Full Cure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75°F (24°C) | 12 to 24 hours | 24 hours | 5 days |
Note: If more than 24 hours have elapsed, the coating must be mechanically abraded before recoating. Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity and film thickness.
Topcoats
Series 234ESD
Primers
Series 201, 208, N222, N222FC, or 233 must be used as a primer along with an epoxy intermediate coat to ensure the concrete is sealed and insulated prior to the application of the 234ESD static control topcoat.
Series N241 and N242 are self-priming and an epoxy primer should not be used. Note: Series N241 and N242 must be seeded to refusal with 30/50 mesh aggregate and fully grouted and sealed with pigmented N222, N222FC, 233, 239, 280, 280FC, 281, or 282 to fully insulate Series N241 or N242 base coat prior to applying the 234ESD to ensure proper electrostatic dissipative surface resistance values.
