    Colorex SD

    Colorex SD is a static dissipative homogeneous floor covering in tile format with permanent ESD properties. Because of the dense network of dissipative veins, static charges flow easily through the floor to earth. Colorex SD tiles can withstand the most demanding conditions and offer a perfect solution for highly sensitive areas such as cleanrooms, and for demanding production sites in the electronics, life sciences and manufacturing industry.

High Performance

Colorex EC
Static charges flow easily through the dense network of tiny conductive veins in the whole thickness of the tile. These are collected by the conductive adhesive and securely discharged to earth via the copperstrip. It’s a completely natural system that needs no volatile, chemical anti-static additives to aid conductivity. The conductivity is completely independent from moisture in the air.

Functionality:
Permanently conductive

Description:
Permanently conductive floor, connection between tiles through conductive adhesive and connected to earth through copper strip. Compliant to person-shoefloor-system requirement.

Application areas:
ESD facilities, cleanrooms, pharmaceutical laboratories, production sites and operating theatres.

Colorex EC Plus
Renovating an industrial floor can be a very costly and labour intensive endeavour. The downtime needed to move or disassemble heavy production equipment and the cost of a complex subfloor renovation can begin to add up before work on installing the new floor has even started. Colorex EC plus is a high performance floor covering system that consists of loose lay tiles. Suitable for applications where expensive preparatory measures and downtimes are not acceptable, it can be installed without interruptions and is immediately accessible. There’s no need for special subfloor treatments or preparations. The tiles connect to each other using a unique dovetailing system that remains hidden. But because they have a genuine Colorex surface you can still take advantage of its proven features and benefit.

Functionality:
Permanently conductive

Description:
Permanently conductive floor, connection between tiles through dovetails and connected to earth with copper strip. Compliant to person-shoefloor-system requirement.   

Application areas:
Renovation of ESD facilities, cleanrooms, pharmaceutical laboratories and production sites. Suitable when down time or raising moisture are critical.

Norms & Certifications

Norms & Certifications

In order to provide our customers with highest safety, we measure and report the conductivity of each production batch. As a result of this quality control procedure, we establish a measurement report showing the distribution of conductivity values within a single batch. These reports are available to the customer upon request.

The homogeneous structure of Colorex SD/EC with its dense network of conductive veins is a guarantee for lifetime conductivity. Performance is permanent, independent from air humidity or temperature conditions

In conjunction with appropriate ESD footwear, Colorex EC is fully compliant with the personnel grounding requirements specified in the IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards for ESD Protected Areas (EPA):
- System resistance Person / Footwear / Flooring System < 35 MOhm
- Body Voltage < 100V

Product Construction

We Start Where Others Stop

We make tiles in order to ensure consistent and unique properties and to overcome problems that can be fatal like emission, shrinkage and diminishing of conductive properties. Tiles can be installed more quickly and easily than sheets and with less waste, especially in small and medium areas or rooms with irregular shapes.

Colorex provides all the features normally associated with ESD sheet product but with the additional benefits mentioned above that the tile format offers. ESD sheet products require a high plastisicer content which can result in out-gassing. In contrast, Colorex tiles have a small percentage of placticer content and as a result, very low outgassing.

The Colorex System

Choose here the level of conductivity that fits best in your application. Colorex can be used everywhere. It can be installed by directly glueing it on concrete, as part on top of a raised floor panel or as a loose lay tile system. All versions come in two levels of conductivity: EC Highperformance and SD Performance. The loose lay version additionally has an anti static (Basic plus) and slip resistant (R11 plus) version to complete the high tech solutions offer.
