Product Features
See the Excelon Static Dissipative Tile collection at ArmstrongFlooring.com
Excelon SDT static dissipative tile is a complete flooring solution designed to control static in most non-explosive manufacturing and working areas. The exclusive four-part system comprised of tile, adhesive, copper grounding strips, and polish, works together to dissipate electrostatic charges, protecting people and preventing damage to expensive equipment.
MATERIAL: A composition of polyvinyl chloride resin, binder, fillers, pigments, and antistatic additive.
PATTERNS AND COLORS: Colors and pattern are dispersed uniformly throughout the thickness of the material. Color pigments are insoluble in water and resistant to cleaning agents and light.
REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS:
ASTM F 1066 Vinyl Composition Floor Tile, Class 2 – through pattern Meets requirements for size, thickness, squareness, indentation, impact, dimensional stability and resistance to chemicals.
ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
- Installed as a system using the required adhesive, grounding strips and polish, SDT yields the following electrical properties:
- Resistance: ANSI / ESD-S7.1 and ASTM F-150
- Point to point and point to ground: 106 to 109 ohms
- Static Generation: ANSI / ESD STM 97.2 (flooring in combination with footwear and a person)
- at 40% R.H. with ESD shoes: <10 volts
- at 12% R.H. with ESD shoes: <10 volts
- Static Dissipation at 12% R.H.: Flooring in combination with a person wearing dissipative footware:
- 1000 to 100 volts: 0.2 seconds avg.

Installation Special Precautions and Recommendations:
- Refer to the SDT (Static Dissipative Tile) Installation System for complete installation recommendations.
- The SDT Installation System requires the use of copper grounding strips supplied with S-202 Adhesive.
- If electrical certification of an installation is required, do not perform any maintenance procedures until after that certification has been completed.
- Use only Armstrong S-392 Static Dissipative Tile Polish on SDT. Refer to the SDT maintenance Procedures for complete maintenance recommendations.
- Do not install SDT in areas subject to excessive surface water or frequent spills.
- Do not install over existing resilient flooring.
- Pattern and Shade/Lot Numbers should match.
