Description

Developed over a 2-year period working exclusively with the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD), Ecotile has created a new ultra-low resistance, modular electro-static discharge flooring solution for use in explosives processing facilities and areas where static shocks could be lethal.

Ecotile’s new specialist dissipative tile has been designed to meet the MoD’s Conductive Regime – a protocol required in areas where small static charges can cause OME (Ordnance, Munitions and Explosives) with ignition energies of 1mJ and below to ignite.

So that static can be dissipated rapidly and safely, the Conductive Regime requires flooring to have less floor to earth resistance than civilian ESD flooring.

Reviewed and tested by the MoD Defence Ordnance Safety Group (DOSG) in an Ammunition Process Building (APB), Ecotile’s new modular conductive flooring system delivers an average surface resistivity of 26.4KΩ.

Perfect for use across the defence estate:
– Explosives processing facilities
– Ammunition Process Buildings
– Use in Explosive Category C & D licenced buildings

The DOSG highlighted in their technical assessment document that modular floors also offer some significant advantages when compared to other currently approved MoD ESD surfaces:
– Currently, when sections of approved flooring are damaged or fall outside of tolerance, large sections of floor must be replaced, or the entire floor
– Replacing large sections of floors is a costly and disruptive event
– Modular floors offer the ability to interchange one damaged tile with another in a matter of minutes and return the building or work area to compliance quickly
– Modular ESD tiles minimise disruption or downtime of an MoD asset whilst providing a significant financial saving
