Depending on traffic type and volume, SSE offers two types of dissipative paint which can cost effectively ground personnel.
- PXA Static Dissipative Paint – a single pack static dissipative acrylic paint PXA paint comes in a single container, is ready to use for easy application. For use in low traffic areas and where heavy machinery (e.g. FLTs) will not be used.
- PXP Static Dissipative Paint – a two pack static dissipative polyurethane paint PXP paint comprises two pre-measured components which have to be precisely mixed but once applied and cured, provides a tough surface capable of withstanding heavy traffic wear.
PXA Dissipative Paint:
Surface Resistance: 105-108 Ohms/Square
Resistance to Ground: 105-108 Ohms
Conforms to IEC 61340-5-1/2
Charge Decay: Conforms to MILB81705C
Two coats are recommended for best results and should be applied over a sound, sealed floor or wall, free from dirt, oil or any loose particles. It is strongly recommended that A40 not be applied over bare surfaces, concrete, wood, tiles, plasterboard etc. Where this occurs a Water Based Primer should be first applied.
Do not apply if the temperature is below 10°C or if the Moisture Content of the concrete surface to be applied over is greater than 15%. Curing times are dependent on temperature, humidity and ventilation.
Thinning of the paint is not recommended and will effect it’s physical and ESD performance

Painted anti-static floors are well suited to provide reliable, dissipative finishes to large expanses of concrete floor where the activity on microelectronic components and assemblies is not intense.
Although dissipative floor paints do not have the longevity of rubber or vinyl flooring, they are comparatively less expensive, quick and easy to apply and offer an almost instant solution.
Application
Once the surface is in a condition to accept PX Dissipative Paint it is applied by brush or roller.
The paint drying time is dependent on local ambient conditions but the floor will always be ready for its second application after 24 hours.
A copper tape, one for every 110m2 of painted surface, is used to link the floor to an earth connection point which also serves as a floor test junction box.
SSE recommends the application of paint to a trial area to establish that the paint adheres satisfactorily to the existing floor surface. Samples of paint are available from SSE for this purpose – please ask.
Please note – SSE does not offer a paint installation service.
