Three Ways to Buy. One Engineered ESD System.
PumaCRETE customizes the buying experience to match how your Connecticut project is structured. Choose complete turnkey installation through our nationwide network of certified applicators, purchase materials only if you have your own CT crew or contractor, or schedule expert on-site factory training to qualify your own installers. One manufacturer, three ways to buy.
The Arsenal of Democracy Runs on ESD Control
Connecticut earns its “Arsenal of Democracy” nickname honestly. The state brings in more than $25 billion in defense contracts annually, ranking fourth nationally. From Colt’s revolvers to Sikorsky helicopters to the first nuclear submarines launched at Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut is where some of the most demanding manufacturing in America happens. Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford anchors the world’s leading aircraft-engine cluster, Aerospace Alley. Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense in Simsbury produces precision energetics systems and explosive solutions for global defense programs. Medtronic in North Haven anchors a medical device cluster with more than 1,000 supplier companies. Every one of these facilities depends on rigorous static control.
Per the EOS/ESD Association standard ANSI/ESD S20.20, an ESD floor must achieve surface resistance below 1.0×10&sup9; ohms, system resistance below 3.5×10&sup7; ohms, and walking body voltage below 100 volts. PumaCRETE dissipative systems consistently achieve body voltage below 15 volts with conductive footwear — well beneith the regulatory ceiling. For CT energetics and munitions applications, our conductive (C) versions and the PumaESD 400 urethane cement system meet DoD 4145.26-m for AA&E facilities, propellant handling, and flammable-solvent environments.
Whether you are protecting an aircraft engine test cell in East Hartford, a submarine assembly bay in Groton, an energetics line in Simsbury, a medical device cleanroom in North Haven, or an electronics facility along the I-91 corridor, PumaCRETE manufactures the right ESD or conductive system. Learn more about ANSI/ESD S20.20 from the EOS/ESD Association.

Installed by Factory-Trained Certified Applicators
Every PumaCRETE turnkey installation in Connecticut is delivered by factory-trained, factory-certified applicators working from our nationwide installer network. In the New England region, our certified installer partner EP Floors Corp. (Three Rivers, MA) handles most Connecticut PumaESD installations — with statewide CT coverage from Stamford to Groton. We do not sub-contract to unknown crews. Every installer has been trained at PumaCRETE on system chemistry, surface preparation, ground grid integration, and post-install ESD resistance testing — and every installation is backed by a manufacturer-plus-installer warranty.
Six-Step Turnkey Process
1. CT Site Assessment & ESD Spec
On-site evaluation by a PumaCRETE specialist at your Connecticut facility. Substrate condition, ESD requirement (dissipative vs conductive), governing standard (ANSI/ESD S20.20 or DoD 4145.26-m), traffic loads, and grounding evaluated. Written spec delivered for facility ESD coordinator review.
2. Ground Grid & Surface Prep
Copper ground straps integrated with building electrical ground (coordinated with your CT electrician). Diamond grinding or shotblasting achieves CSP 3–5 profile. Cracks repaired, joints treated.
3. Conductive Primer
Conductive primer establishes electrical continuity across the floor and connects to ground grid. Visible primer color enables installer QC for continuous coverage.
4. Floor System Application
Selected PumaESD system applied per spec — thin film, hi-build, composite, or urethane cement mortar. Color and texture customized to CT facility needs (cleanroom-smooth for North Haven medical, AGV-flat for I-91 fulfillment, troweled conductive for Simsbury energetics).
5. Cure & Resistance Testing
Per manufacturer cure schedule. Post-install resistance testing at multiple grid points, documented against ANSI/ESD S20.20 or DoD 4145.26-m.
6. Certification & Warranty
Written compliance certification delivered for audit records. Manufacturer + installer warranty. Written maintenance protocols for facility sanitation staff.
Materials-Only & Factory Training for CT Buyers
EP Floors handles most Connecticut turnkey installations as our certified installer partner. Prefer to work with your own crew instead? PumaCRETE ships PumaESD materials direct to your Connecticut facility, with phone and email technical support during the project. Or schedule an on-site factory training visit — PumaCRETE will train your CT installers on system chemistry, surface prep, ground grid design, and ESD resistance testing so they can install future projects independently.
INSTALLATION
With a nationwide network of installers, PumaCRETE® has provides a tradition of quality. Our factory-trained installation crews can provide turn-key installation and localized service. In many cases, we can train your personnel or local contractor, with on site training available.
TRAINING
PumaCRETE® can provide on site trainers, along with detailed installation instructions and videos, specialty tools, and surface prep guidelines for new installers or DIY installation. See our installation page for our application resources.
EARTH GROUND (copper ground rod, bar, outlet.
Copper ground rods are often used in Military, Munitions, and manufacturing environments.
At the ground point on rod... remove oxidation from rod (for connection with a clamp). Run copper foil tape on the floor, per figure 2. Run the tape up the ground rod, and secure tape to ground rod using the copper foil tape.

Connecticut ESD Flooring FAQ
Where in Connecticut does PumaCRETE install ESD flooring?
PumaCRETE installs ESD and conductive flooring across all of Connecticut including Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Stratford, Groton, East Hartford, Simsbury, Cheshire, and surrounding municipalities. Our New England regional installer partner EP Floors Corp. provides statewide CT coverage from a base in Three Rivers, MA.
What Connecticut industries need ESD and conductive flooring?
Connecticut's aerospace and defense cluster (Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford, Sikorsky in Stratford, Electric Boat in Groton, Kaman Aerospace, Hanwha Aerospace USA in Cheshire), the energetics and munitions sector (Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense in Simsbury), medical device manufacturing (Medtronic North Haven and its 1,000+ supplier base), biotech and pharma along the New Haven and Hartford corridors, and CT electronics manufacturers all require ANSI/ESD S20.20 or DoD 4145.26-m compliant flooring.
Can I purchase PumaCRETE materials only without installation in Connecticut?
Yes. PumaCRETE offers three buying options for Connecticut projects: complete turnkey installation through our certified installer partner EP Floors Corp., materials-only supply if you have your own CT crew or contractor, or on-site factory training to qualify your own installers on PumaESD systems.
Is PumaCRETE ESD flooring ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliant?
Yes. PumaCRETE static dissipative systems achieve surface resistance below 1×10&sup9; ohms, system resistance below 3.5×10&sup7; ohms, and body voltage generation below 15 volts — well under the 100V STM97.2 limit. Every Connecticut installation includes post-install resistance testing with written compliance documentation.
Does PumaCRETE meet DoD 4145.26-m for Connecticut energetics and munitions facilities?
Yes. The PumaESD 400 series conductive urethane cement meets DoD 4145.26-m for Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives facilities. This is especially relevant for Connecticut's energetics sector, including precision energetics systems and explosive solutions producers.
What makes PumaCRETE different for Connecticut ESD projects?
PumaCRETE offers three buying options for CT buyers (turnkey, materials-only, or factory training) — most manufacturers only sell turnkey. We have a four-tier product lineup including urethane cement (PumaESD 400) for AA&E munitions and DoD 4145.26-m compliance — directly relevant to Connecticut's energetics and defense sector. CT turnkey installations are delivered by our factory-trained certified installer partner EP Floors Corp.
How long does ESD flooring installation take in Connecticut?
Most Connecticut ESD projects complete in a weekend or scheduled shutdown. Typical timeline for a 20,000 sq ft facility: Friday surface prep, Saturday system installation, Sunday cure and resistance testing, full return to service Monday. Larger CT facilities are completed in phased zones to maintain production.
