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 Conroe.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Conroe
Aircraft electronics and fuel systems share one problem, and it is static. In a hangar bay a bonded, grounded floor gives technicians and ground support equipment a common reference, and it supports the rest of your grounding practice. The floor does not replace bonding straps. It removes one more variable.
ESD Flooring across Conroe
Conroe is in Montgomery County along I-45, SH 105 and Loop 336, with Lake Conroe to the west and the regional airport north of town. We serve these Conroe areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
Conroe projects range from hangar bays to production floors. These are the common ones.
Avionics and aircraft shops
Bench and bay areas servicing electronics where parts come out of aircraft and go back in tested.
Fuel and hazardous handling
Pump rooms and storage areas where static is part of a documented ignition control program.
Light manufacturing floors
Assembly and packaging lines that build, test and ship electronics or powered equipment.
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 Conroe FAQ
Answers for Conroe operators, from hangar managers to plant supervisors, each with a quick way to reach us.
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 slip resistant?
Yes. Anti-slip aggregate goes in at 32 oz per batch, tuned to the space so it meets your safety requirement without making the floor hard to clean. The cured texture is round profile, so a microfiber pad lifts particulate instead of dragging it around. Ask about it on your free Conroe quote at (832) 253-3211.
How do I clean and maintain ESD static control flooring?
Use a cleaner approved for static control floors. Waxes and film formers insulate the surface and shift the resistance reading, which is the most common reason a floor stops passing. The floor is seamless, so dirt has no grout to hide in. We leave your Conroe team a written cleaning procedure. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do I know the prep was done right?
Ask for a walk before the first coat. Even texture, no glossy patches and no residue are what to look for, and moisture readings should be on file. Prep is the step you cannot see once the floor is down. Call (832) 253-3211 to arrange it in Conroe.
Can you install ESD static control flooring in Conroe around our business hours?
Working time is 25 minutes per batch at 70F and foot traffic returns in about 24 hours, so a bay can go down after last shift and be walked on before the next one. We schedule nights and weekends and phase the work area by area so your Conroe line keeps running. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan it around your shift schedule.
Can you apply ESD static control flooring over an existing floor in Conroe?
It depends on what is there. A well-bonded epoxy can sometimes be abraded and built on; a peeling or contaminated coating cannot. We will test and tell you. We do not cover bad floors. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will look at your Conroe floor.
What if my Conroe slab has moisture problems?
Texas slabs push moisture, so nothing goes down until the Conroe slab is tested. The limits are 8 to 10 lbs moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and under 80 percent internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170). Over that, a moisture mitigation layer goes in first. Cured, the system runs 0.08 perms and under 0.05 percent water absorption, so it will not bubble or delaminate. Start it right, call (832) 253-3211.
Do you repair cracks before ESD static control flooring in Conroe?
All of it, before the system goes down, because the topcoat lays at 5 to 7 mils and 6 mils of coating hides nothing. Crack, joint and spall repair is part of Conroe prep, not an add-on we discover later. Book your repair and quote at (832) 253-3211.
What colors and finishes can I get with ESD static control flooring in Conroe?
A short list, deliberately: solid colors in a gloss finish. Decorative effects change the electrical behavior, so we do not offer them on ESD. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will show samples for your Conroe space.
Is ESD static control flooring good for commercial spaces in Conroe?
Yes, if the room has electronics or a discharge risk in it. A Conroe office lobby does not need a grounded floor, but the lab behind it, the IT room down the hall and the bench area in the back often do. We scope only the space that needs it. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free walk-through.
How does ESD static control flooring compare to other floor options?
Compare on measured resistance, not appearance. Ordinary epoxy and polished concrete are insulators, so charge sits on them. A conductive floor at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms drains it quickly, and a dissipative floor at 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms drains it more slowly. Your ESD program picks the band. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will help you choose.
Will ESD flooring in Conroe 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 Conroe quote at (832) 253-3211.
When can I use the floor after ESD static control flooring in Conroe?
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 Conroe schedule. Call (832) 253-3211.
What kind of facilities need ESD flooring in Conroe?
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 Conroe 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?
It resists most of what a Conroe plant or lab spills. Solvents are the exception, and we list them honestly: acetone, MEK, methanol, ethanol and 37 percent battery acid. Cleaning chemicals matter just as much for a static floor, because a film from the wrong cleaner changes the resistance. Call (832) 253-3211.

Do you offer free estimates in Conroe?
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, and it is better to plan it in than to add it later. A small amount of aggregate gives grip on a wet spill without trapping dust. Safety striping and zone lines are applied with the system. Call (832) 253-3211 for your Conroe space.
Can you handle large Conroe jobs and multi-phase work?
One kit covers 400 square feet at 6 mils, so a plant wide Conroe 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?
The system is a base layer, a grounded conductive layer with connection points, and a topcoat. The topcoat carries the published resistance. A dissipative version of the same family is available if your program asks for the 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohm band. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us which band your Conroe spec names.
What Conroe areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Austin and Conroe metros, Conroe included, plus the surrounding Texas markets. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will confirm we cover your address and book a free estimate.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
It depends on which grade you choose, and we install either. Conductive is published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms. Dissipative covers 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9. We verify the installed floor before handover and share the readings. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Conroe quote.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
Yes. Resistance is measured to ground, so a conductive layer with no connection to earth cannot drain anything. We install the layer with grounding points tied to your building ground so charge has somewhere to go, then test that connection. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Conroe quote.
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 Conroe quote.
Is it suitable for electronics and labs?
Very much so. Typical rooms are electronics assembly, test labs, pharmaceutical support areas and server rooms. Body voltage generation measures 15 V, and the surface resists microbial growth in testing. Call (832) 253-3211 to scope your Conroe space.
Do you test and document the performance?
Yes. We measure resistance in multiple spots on the finished floor, record the readings, and hand you the documentation. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Conroe quote.
Do you offer a warranty in Conroe?
Yes, a written 1-year warranty on workmanship. It does not cover chipping, cracking or hydrostatic pressure. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will walk you through exactly what is covered.
