Industrial floors inhibit the generation of electrostatic discharge or ESD which is the pulse of static electricity that happens when charged person or surface comes in contact with another object. Antistatic spray coatings typically consist of a conducting polymer (plastic) and a solvent made from deionized water and alcohol. They allow fibers to retail a little moisture which makes them more electrically conductive and reduces the chances of static charge building. Copper stripping inside the flooring is done to improve the conductivity.
