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. New Era's dedicated static control site has the standard broken down in plain terms, plus static control flooring in Baytown.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Baytown
Coastal air carries moisture and salt into buildings, and both reach the slab. Humidity also lowers static buildup in the air, which fools people into thinking a space is safe, while a dry winter day takes the same room to the other extreme. A floor with a measured ground path performs the same on both days, and that consistency is what you are buying.
ESD Flooring across Baytown
Baytown sits in Harris and Chambers counties along I-10 and SH 146, with Spur 330 and the Fred Hartman Bridge tying it to La Porte and the Ship Channel. We serve these Baytown areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
Baytown has plant support and light industrial space near the bay, and both can hold rooms that need static control. These are the rooms it is built for.
Refinery and plant support rooms
Control rooms, electrical rooms and field offices holding instruments that are corrosion sensitive.
Marine and coastal electronics
Shops servicing vessel, dock and shore electronics that arrive damp and leave dried and tested.
Warehouses near the bay
Receiving and kitting for electrical and instrument parts that need a dry, grounded staging area.
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 Baytown FAQ
What Baytown plants and shops ask us about static control floors, answered with salt air in mind.
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.
Can you apply ESD static control flooring over an existing floor in Baytown?
Often, if the existing floor is sound. We check it first: bond, moisture and contamination. Anything failing is removed mechanically, and the slab is repaired. Over properly prepared concrete this system pulls 400 psi and fails in the concrete (ASTM D4541). Call (832) 253-3211 for a Baytown assessment.
What if my Baytown slab has moisture problems?
We find out before we coat, with ASTM F1869 and ASTM F2170 tests. If the slab reads high, a moisture mitigation layer goes in first. Cured, the system runs 0.08 perms and absorbs under 0.05 percent water. Slabs in Baytown can hold moisture, so we do not skip this. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you repair cracks before ESD static control flooring in Baytown?
We do. A conductive layer needs a continuous surface, so cracks and open joints get repaired during prep, not after. We include that in the quote so there are no surprises. Call (832) 253-3211 for your Baytown floor.
What colors and finishes can I get with ESD static control flooring in Baytown?
Solid colors in gloss. Pigment is part of the electrical package on a conductive system, so flake blends and metallic effects are not options. In a Baytown room with daylight, we use the UV stable version because epoxy ambers in the sun. Safety striping and zone lines are available. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is ESD static control flooring good for commercial spaces in Baytown?
It is built for commercial and industrial rooms rather than showrooms. Think assembly benches, test labs, server rooms and equipment bays in Baytown. The cured system takes forklift and cart traffic at 13,700 psi compressive, so the floor works as hard as the people on it. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us what the room does.
How does ESD static control flooring compare to other floor options?
Think of three choices: bare sealed concrete, a regular epoxy, and a floor engineered to ground. Only the third has a published resistance band and a way to test it in place. For ESD programs the first two leave the floor out of the control plan, so the rest of the plan has to work harder. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free comparison.
Will ESD flooring in Baytown handle forklifts, pallet jacks and heavy point loads?
Heavy traffic is what the system was specified for: 13,700 psi compressive, 120 in-lbs impact and 85 Shore D (ASTM D695, D2794 and D2240). The detail that matters is when it goes into service, not whether it can. We hold vehicles off until day 7. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Baytown schedule.
When can I use the floor after ESD static control flooring in Baytown?
It depends on what is crossing it. People: about 24 hours at 70F. Carts: ask us, because wheel type matters. Forklifts: 7 days. We give you the dates in writing before the Baytown job starts. Call (832) 253-3211.
What kind of facilities need ESD flooring in Baytown?
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 Baytown 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?
Yes against the common shop and plant fluids: motor oil, jet fuel, gasoline, brake and hydraulic fluid, plus ammonia, caustic soda and salt solutions at the strengths tested. A few solvents are not recommended, including acetone, MEK, methanol and ethanol. We will say so before you find out. Tell us what spills in your Baytown space and call (832) 253-3211.

Do you offer free estimates in Baytown?
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?
We can. Texture, striping, aisle lines, hazard zones and equipment outlines all go in as part of the floor, not as tape you have to replace. Tell us what your Baytown safety program expects. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you handle large Baytown jobs and multi-phase work?
Yes. A large Baytown floor is split into zones, and each zone is ground, built and cured in sequence while the rest of the building keeps running. Each zone is tested before we move on. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan a phased schedule.
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 Baytown areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Baytown and San Antonio metros, Baytown 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 Baytown?
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 Baytown job. Free quote at (832) 253-3211.
What is the process for ESD static control flooring in Baytown?
It runs in order: test the slab, diamond grind, repair, prime, lay the conductive layer and its grounding points, build, topcoat, then measure. Foot traffic returns at 24 hours and full cure is 7 days. You get the Baytown schedule before we start. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can I see examples of ESD static control flooring you have done near Baytown?
Of course. Ask for the type of room you are planning, like a lab or an assembly floor, and we will send examples of finished systems. Photos help with look; readings help with performance. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do I prepare my Baytown space for ESD static control flooring?
Send us the floor plan, tell us which equipment stays, and we will tell you what to move. We do the cleaning, grinding and masking. For a static sensitive room, we also ask about live circuits and grounding points before we start. Call (832) 253-3211.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
Conductive, at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms. That drains charge fast. Your program might want slower, in the dissipative band of 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms, and we can supply that grade. The ceiling of 1 x 10^9 ohms applies either way. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us which your Baytown spec cites.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
It does, and that is the part many people overlook. The floor is a path, and a path needs a destination. We place grounding points, tie them to ground, and measure from the surface to them on the finished floor. Call (832) 253-3211 to review your Baytown grounding plan.
Which standards does it meet?
ANSI/ESD S20.20 is the program standard; the floor itself is measured with ANSI/ESD S7.1 and ASTM D257. The system also carries Class 1 flame spread (ASTM E648) and meets USDA, FDA, EPA and SCAQMD requirements. We keep the test records with your handover file. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Baytown quote.
Is it suitable for electronics and labs?
Yes, that is what it is specified for. Electronics assembly, labs, cleanrooms, data rooms and battery work all call for it. The floor holds body voltage generation at 15 V under ANSI/ESD STM 97.2, and it passes ASTM G21 microbial resistance. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Baytown quote.
Do you test and document the performance?
Every floor, every time. Readings are taken after the system cures and are given to you in writing so you can keep them with your ESD program records. Call (832) 253-3211.
