Specifications
The numbers a plant engineer asks for
New Era installs the conductive grade. Here is the resistance band it is published at, how that compares with the dissipative grade, and the rest of the cured properties, so you can check the floor against your own ESD program before anybody quotes it.
Conductive
2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms
Charge drains fastest in this band. Tested to ASTM D257 and ANSI/ESD S7.1.
Dissipative
10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms
The band most electronics assembly programs specify. Available if yours calls for it.

Values are the manufacturer published figures for the conductive system New Era installs. ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground and requires the finished floor to be tested in place, so treat these as the system specification and not as a substitute for your own acceptance test. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will spec it against your program.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Austin
ESD (electrostatic control) flooring controls static so it cannot damage electronics, ignite in sensitive areas, or disrupt processes. The system carries a grounded conductive layer and meets defined resistance ranges for labs, electronics manufacturing and clean spaces, and we test and document the resistance on handover.
ESD Flooring across Austin
We install ESD static control flooring throughout Austin and the Central Texas, including these Austin areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
If your process can be damaged, degraded or set off by a discharge, this is the floor for it. Tell us what you are protecting and we will spec it to your facility.
Cleanrooms & Labs
Seamless surfaces with integral cove, specified alongside your gowning and airflow protocol.
Warehousing & Distribution
Pick, pack and handling areas moving sensitive product, where the floor is the ground path for everything on it.
Process & Production
Lines running solvents, powders and volatile product, where a spark is a safety problem before it is a quality one.
How a static control floor actually goes down
Five stages. The last one is the one most contractors skip, and it is the only one that proves the floor does what the spec says.
Diamond grind the slab
Mechanical prep to clean, profiled concrete. No acid etch, no bonding to a surface that was never opened up.
Repair and level
Cracks, joints and spalls cut out and filled, moisture tested first and primed if the slab is pushing.
Lay the ground path
The conductive layer and its grounding connections, which is the part that makes it a static control floor instead of a coloured one.
Build the system
Base, conductive media and topcoat to the thickness your spec calls for, phased area by area so the line keeps running.
Test it and hand over readings
Point to point and point to ground measured on the finished floor, in writing. A floor nobody measured is a floor nobody can certify.

ESD Flooring in Austin FAQ
Twenty-five straight answers for Austin, and every one ends with the fastest way to get a quote.
Where a floor has to land
Static control flooring is bought and sold on one number, resistance to ground in ohms. This is that scale. New Era installs in the conductive band, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 will not qualify a floor to the right of the ceiling marked here.
New Era installs in the conductive band, 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms.
Is ESD static control flooring good for commercial spaces in Austin?
Industrial, and that is the point of the system: electronics assembly, cleanrooms, labs and testing facilities, battery and electric vehicle plants, aerospace, data server rooms, packaging lines, aircraft hangars, and any Austin area carrying a dust or explosion risk. It is rated for heavy duty forklift and manufacturing traffic at 13,700 psi compressive. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan your project.
How does ESD static control flooring compare to other floor options?
The comparison that matters is resistance, not looks. Conductive runs 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms and dissipative runs 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground. Below that band you are draining charge faster; above it you are outside the standard. Which one you need is set by your own ESD program, and we will walk you through it at no cost. Call (832) 253-3211.
Will ESD flooring in Austin handle forklifts, pallet jacks and heavy point loads?
13,700 psi compressive, 9,000 psi flexural, 120 in-lbs impact and 85 Shore D hardness (ASTM D695, D790, D2794 and D2240). It is specified for heavy duty forklift and manufacturing areas. Full cure before vehicle traffic is 7 days. Free Austin quote at (832) 253-3211.
When can I use the floor after ESD static control flooring in Austin?
About 24 hours to foot traffic at 70F, 36 hours if the space is running cold at 50F, and 7 days to full cure for vehicles and forklifts. Working time per batch is 25 minutes at 70F, which is what sets how the crew stages the area. We give you the exact Austin schedule. Call (832) 253-3211.
What kind of facilities need ESD flooring in Austin?
Anywhere an uncontrolled discharge costs you a part or a person: electronics assembly, cleanrooms, labs and testing facilities, battery and electric vehicle plants, aerospace and defense, data server rooms, packaging lines, 911 call centers, aircraft hangars, and any Austin process carrying a dust or explosion risk. If your ESD program cites ANSI/ESD S20.20, the floor has to come in under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground and be tested in place to prove it. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us what you are protecting.
Is ESD static control flooring chemical and stain resistant?
Rated in the best category against motor oil, jet fuel, premium gasoline, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid, 30 percent ammonia, 50 percent caustic soda, 20 percent sodium chloride and hard well water. Some solvents are not recommended, and we will say so rather than find out on your floor: acetone, MEK, methanol, ethanol and 37 percent battery acid among them. Tell us what gets spilled in your Austin space and you get a straight answer. Call (832) 253-3211.

Do you offer free estimates in Austin?
Always, and it includes the two slab tests that decide the whole system: moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170), plus an assessment of whatever is already down. We measure, talk through the options and put the pricing in writing at no cost. Call (832) 253-3211 and we typically respond within 24 hours.
Can you add anti-slip or safety features to ESD static control flooring?
Yes. Anti-slip aggregate blends in at 32 oz per kit, and we add safety striping, zone markings and high visibility lines wherever the Austin plant needs them. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you handle large Austin jobs and multi-phase work?
One kit covers 400 square feet at 6 mils, so a plant wide Austin job is a scheduling problem rather than a capability one. We phase it area by area so your operation never stops. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan it.
What system do you use for ESD static control flooring?
A conductive carbon nanotube epoxy topcoat, published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1). It is 100 percent solids and low odor, and it lays over a prepared base system at 5 to 7 mils. The dissipative grade of the same family runs 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms if your program calls for that band instead. Decorative flake, metallic and polished concrete are not static control systems and we will not sell them to you as one. Call (832) 253-3211.
What Austin areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Austin and San Antonio metros, Austin included, plus the surrounding Texas markets. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will confirm we cover your address and book a free estimate.
Why choose New Era for ESD static control flooring in Austin?
Because the floor gets a number instead of an adjective. Full diamond-grind prep, a conductive system published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1), and one crew from the grind to the topcoat on every Austin job. 4.9 stars across 102 reviews. Free quote at (832) 253-3211.
What is the process for ESD static control flooring in Austin?
Test, grind, repair, prime, build, topcoat. The slab gets tested first (ASTM F1869 and ASTM F2170), then we diamond-grind to clean profiled concrete, repair cracks and joints, prime where the slab needs it, then lay the conductive topcoat at 5 to 7 mils. Foot traffic at 24 hours, full cure at 7 days. You get the Austin schedule up front. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can I see examples of ESD static control flooring you have done near Austin?
Yes. We will share recent Austin-area photos and references so you can see the finish before you commit. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do I prepare my Austin space for ESD static control flooring?
Clear the area and tell us what cannot move. We handle degreasing, grinding, repairs and masking, and we contain the dust with HEPA equipment. What matters more than tidying is access and temperature: material goes down between 50F and 90F, under 90 percent relative humidity and 5F above the dew point, so we will agree the Austin window with you before we arrive. Call (832) 253-3211.
What makes a floor fail, and how do you prevent it in Austin?
Skipped prep and moisture, in that order. That is why the slab gets tested before anything goes down, at 8 to 10 lbs moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and under 80 percent internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170), and why we diamond-grind rather than acid etch. Done right, adhesion pulls 400 psi and the concrete fails before the bond does. The other failure is chemical: the wrong cleaner leaves an insulating film and a floor that passed on handover stops passing. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin assessment.
Do you handle the whole ESD static control flooring job in-house in Austin?
Yes. One New Era crew handles prep, install and topcoat in Austin, no subcontractors passing the buck. It matters more here than on a normal floor, because the electrical performance depends on the base system and the topcoat being installed as one package rather than by two trades. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is ESD flooring worth it for a Austin facility?
If your process is static sensitive, the floor is part of the control system rather than a finish. ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground, and a floor outside that band means the rest of your ESD program is carrying the load alone. Specified properly it also takes plant traffic at 13,700 psi compressive and holds its performance instead of losing it in a year. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin assessment.
How soon can you start ESD static control flooring in Austin?
Book the walkthrough first, because that is where the slab gets tested and the two numbers that decide everything come back: moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170). Often within a week or two after that, depending on the season and the scope. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will lock your Austin date.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
We install the conductive grade, published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1). The dissipative grade of the same family runs 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms if your program specifies that band instead, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground either way. We verify the readings before handover. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin quote.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
Yes, and it is what makes the number mean anything: resistance is measured TO GROUND, so a floor with no path to earth has no spec. We install a grounded conductive layer with grounding points so charge drains safely, which is what puts the floor under the 1 x 10^9 ohm ceiling ANSI/ESD S20.20 sets. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin quote.
Which standards does it meet?
ANSI/ESD S20.20 is the program standard and ANSI/ESD S7.1 with ASTM D257 is how the floor itself is measured. The system also meets USDA, FDA, EPA and SCAQMD requirements, carries a Class 1 flame spread rating (ASTM E648) and is eligible for LEED points. We document the test results for your records. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin quote.
Is it suitable for electronics and labs?
That is exactly what it is specified for: electronics assembly and production, cleanrooms, labs and testing facilities, data server rooms, pharmaceutical and processing areas, battery plants and aircraft hangars. Body voltage generation stays at 15 V under ANSI/ESD STM 97.2, and the cured surface passes ASTM G21 microbial resistance with zero growth. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin quote.
Do you test and document the performance?
Yes. We measure resistance across the floor and hand you the documentation on completion. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Austin quote.
