Installed by Factory-Trained Certified Applicators
Every PumaCRETE turnkey installation in electronics manufacturing facilities 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 many of the electronics manufacturing installations. We do not sub-contract to unknown crews. Every installer has been trained at PumaCRETE on system chemistry, surface preparation, EPA ground grid integration, and post-install ESD resistance testing per ANSI/ESD S20.20 — and every installation is backed by a manufacturer-plus-installer warranty.
Six-Step Turnkey Process for Electronics Facilities

ESD Epoxy for Electronics Manufacturing FAQ
What is an Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA) and how does ESD flooring establish one?
An Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA) is a defined zone within an electronics manufacturing facility where all surfaces, materials, and people are controlled to keep static voltages below the damage threshold of ESDS components. Per ANSI/ESD S20.20, the floor is one of three required ESD control measures (along with wrist straps and grounded work surfaces). PumaESD epoxy flooring acts as the primary grounding path for all personnel, equipment carts, and ESD-protective footwear — dissipating accumulated static charge to ground continuously throughout the EPA.
What electronics manufacturing areas require ESD epoxy flooring?
SMT (surface mount technology) lines, wave solder stations, reflow ovens, through-hole assembly, BGA rework areas, automated optical inspection (AOI), X-ray testing, functional test, burn-in rooms, kitting and inspection of ESDS devices, wafer processing, die bonding, wire bonding, semiconductor packaging, and final QC — wherever bare or populated PCBs and ESDS components are unpacked, handled, or transferred.
Is PumaCRETE ESD epoxy flooring ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliant?
Yes. PumaESD static dissipative epoxy systems achieve surface resistance between 1×10&sup6; and 1×10&sup9; ohms (per STM7.1), system resistance below 3.5×10&sup7; ohms (per STM97.1), and body voltage generation below 15 volts with conductive footwear (per STM97.2) — well under the 100V regulatory limit. A 5,000-volt charge dissipates to zero in less than 0.1 seconds. Every PumaCRETE turnkey installation includes post-install resistance testing with written compliance documentation.
How is PumaCRETE ESD epoxy different from topical ESD floor coatings?
Topical ESD coatings rely on a surface treatment that wears off over time and requires recoating to maintain conductivity. PumaCRETE ESD epoxy uses graphite micro-particles distributed throughout the full thickness of the floor matrix — the conductive properties cannot be worn off the surface. No wax, no topical treatment, no recoating. The floor performs at ESD spec for the life of the system.
Can I purchase PumaCRETE materials only without installation?
Yes. PumaCRETE offers three buying options for electronics manufacturers: complete turnkey installation through our nationwide network of factory-trained certified applicators (including EP Floors Corp. as our New England installer partner), materials-only supply if you have your own crew or contractor, or on-site factory training to qualify your own installers on PumaESD systems.
Is PumaESD epoxy cleanroom compatible?
Yes. The seamless monolithic surface of PumaESD epoxy eliminates the seam wear, joint deterioration, and particle generation common to vinyl tile and interlocking ESD floor systems. It is suited to ISO Class 5–8 cleanroom environments common in semiconductor fab, wafer processing, and precision electronics assembly.
When should I specify conductive flooring instead of dissipative for electronics?
Static dissipative (SD) epoxy is correct for the vast majority of electronics manufacturing — PCB assembly, SMT lines, semiconductor packaging, electronics test. Step up to conductive (C) flooring when handling electro-explosive devices (EEDs), pyrotechnics, energetics, or any area governed by DoD 4145.26-m. Conductive flooring has lower resistance (25,000 to 1 million ohms) and dissipates charge faster — required for ignition prevention, not just ESD protection. See PumaCRETE conductive epoxy flooring for those applications.
