Our specialists have extensive experience in laying antistatic and conductive linoleum. We worked with Gerflor MIPOLAM, Tarkett Acczent Mineral AS and Armstrong
Preparing the base before laying antistatic and conductive coatings, it is carried out in the same way as when laying commercial linoleum. The surface prepared for installation must be clean, dry, strong (corresponding to grade strength M100), not crumble or peel off under light loads. The base of the floor is checked by the rule and it should not have deviations of more than 2 mm by 2 meters. If there are more unevennesses, we recommend leveling the floor with a finishing leveler or sanding it. Our company performs grinding using Columbus surface grinders with a steel disc with tungsten chips. Before laying antistatic and conductive PVC floor coverings (Tarkett, Gerflor, Armstrong), the base surface must be treated with a conductive highly dispersive primer, for example Forbo 041 Europrimer EL.
Copper tape backing.
Copper tape is glued to each roll to ensure that the floor has conductive potential. We usually use Forbo 801 copper tape. When laying rolled antistatic linoleum, Forbo 801 copper tape is glued under each roll along its entire length, so that the tape is in the middle of the sheet. Next, strips of copper tape are glued across the glued strips. This current-carrying potential from Forbo 801 copper tape removes the current charge from approximately 10 m of the surface. In rooms where the floor surface area does not exceed 40 m2, two current-carrying potentials should be performed. All potentials carried out must be grounded into the busbar by an electrician.
Preparation of antistatic and conductive linoleum for installation.

Before installation, linoleum must be brought into the room within 24-48 hours. It must be stored vertically! If more than one roll will be used in a given room, then it is necessary to ensure that the rolls are of the same color and from the same batch. The edges of the canvas should be smooth and free of creases.
Laying order.
If the room is small, then cut rolls of antistatic or conductive linoleum are laid out in advance without glue on the floor. The edges of the canvas are trimmed along the wall. We wrap the linoleum to the middle of its length. Then, using a notched trowel A2, Forbo 523 (Forbo) conductive adhesive is applied to the base of the floor. After the glue dries a little (the finger sticks, but does not leave a mark on the finger), the linoleum is unwound over the entire surface and ironed using rollers weighing 50 kg or more. We turn away the non-glued side and apply glue, etc. The remaining overlap of the material, approximately 15-30 mm, is cut off with a lino roller and rubbed in with a lapping hammer. We also rub the entire perimeter with a hammer. After this, the glue needs to dry (24 hours), after which we hot weld the seams of the antistatic linoleum. Connect the leads of the copper tape to ground.

Laying of antistatic linoleum should take place at a temperature of at least +18 degrees and a room humidity of 30-60%. Before installation begins, the covering sheets must be spread out to “get used” to room conditions. Avoid linoleum kinks and folds, because this can cause irreversible consequences.
Sheets of linoleum are glued entirely, high-quality glue, maintaining conductivity over time. Please note that when laying antistatic linoleum, the adhesive is applied over the copper strips.
For more details about glue consumption and drying time, read the instructions. Late installation with adhesive reduces adhesion strength and negatively affects conductivity, which can lead to unevenness (due to hardened lumps of adhesive).
Do not use neoprene-based contact adhesive as it may discolor the anti-static linoleum. The time for laying and working with glue varies depending on the type of substrate, its absorbent properties, humidity and air temperature in the room.
For more details, see the glue manufacturer's instructions. Antistatic linoleum should be laid in such a way that there are no noticeable differences in color.
Contact with the ground is made by copper strips and conductive glue. A strip of copper is laid longitudinally at each transverse joint, approximately 20 cm from the edge. The strips under each sheet of antistatic linoleum are connected to copper strips running across the sheets at both ends of the room, 20 cm from the wall and connected to the grounding system.
Contact with the ground is ensured with a trace. main principles:
— The tiles are in contact with the ground through conductive adhesive and copper strips laid under the tiles. Grounding is created by copper strips under the rows of tiles (under each). These strips are connected to strips drawn across the room (every 10 m, parallel to the short side of the perimeter) and connected to the ground (Fig. 2).
- If the tiles are laid on top of a raised floor system, it is usually possible to dispense with a separate ground connection, since this will be created by the contact between metal structure and conductive glue. For more details about conductivity, contact the manufacturer of the raised floor. Typically, copper strips are connected to the standard grounding system of a particular building.
In areas where electrostatic sensitivity is common, the copper strips are connected to a separate grounding system provided by the end user. Be that as it may, grounding must be in accordance with all norms, standards and regulations regarding building codes, electrical safety rules, etc.
When laying antistatic linoleum, it is very important to ensure good contact and the absence of air between the adhesive and the coating. This is not difficult to achieve. The coating is laid on glue, after which it is immediately rolled out with a roller weighing 68 kilograms. Antistatic linoleum must be rolled out until full adhesion is achieved, in both directions.
When cutting linoleum and creating slots, be extremely careful not to damage the conductive strips laid under the floor covering, ensuring contact of all sections with the grounding system.
The joints of tiles and sheets are hot welded. First, at the joints you need to bevel the edge or create a slot measuring 2/3 of the thickness with a manual or electric groove cutter.
The steadily increasing number of household and industrial equipment has led to the emergence of such commercial coating as antistatic linoleum, which has very specific characteristics.
Life modern man is unthinkable without various electrical appliances, but their use leads to the accumulation of static electricity in the room, and this serves main reason interruptions in the operation of computers, printers, and any other equipment. Sometimes a fairly noticeable electric charge can be obtained simply by touching metal objects.
The main structural component is polyvinyl chloride with the addition of antistatic particles. They have truly unique abilities - they eliminate static electricity. As a result, dust does not accumulate on the linoleum, and particularly sensitive equipment is protected from static.
Linoleum with an antistatic effect is divided into three groups:
The scope of application of antistatic PVC coatings is private homes, electrical assembly shops, power plants, computer classes, laboratories, medical institutions, in particular, operating rooms, ultrasound/MRI rooms, X-ray rooms, etc., where it is necessary to minimize the accumulation of electrical charges .
It is permissible to lay antistatic sheets on heated floors with a maximum heating temperature of up to +27° C.
The undoubted advantage is versatility. Antistatic linoleum is successfully used both in houses/apartments and in production workshops.
High safety and hygiene indicators are due to the absence of heavy chemical substances, which allows it to be installed in children's institutions and bedrooms. And excellent moisture resistance significantly expands the range of use. 
Sufficient thickness The product provides good heat and sound insulation parameters, resistance to various mechanical loads. Durability is comparable to the service life of tiles and marble, as a result of which it can be safely laid even in rooms with excessive load intensity.
The inability to accumulate dust greatly simplifies the maintenance process, and high resistance to chemical compounds and phenomenal color fastness parameters will help maintain a presentable appearance for a long time.
Antistatic PVC linoleum is presented in a huge range of colors and textures. In addition to traditional rolls, it is produced in the form of tiles with a laminate pattern, parquet board and other finishing materials.
The main disadvantages are: the composition is not environmentally friendly, the possibility of installation only on a prepared (leveled) base and high cost.
When choosing antistatic linoleum, you need to take into account its class. Greater value This corresponds to a thicker protective layer, which means that such coatings will last longer.
Don't forget about color characteristics– in accordance with them, you can choose the material to suit any style.
It is advisable to pay attention to abrasion and deformation rates declared by the manufacturers. In addition, it must fulfill its main role, which consists in eliminating electrical charges. Therefore, you need to choose products with the highest degree of resistance.
For ordinary offices, it is enough to purchase commercial antistatic linoleum, for rooms with big amount electrical devices and equipment perfect option– current dissipative or conductive.
Antistatic coatings are laid using classic scheme. The old one needs to be dismantled floor finishing, carefully level the floor and treat it with a conductive primer solution to ensure good adhesion to the glue and the underside of the linoleum.
A leveled plane is needed not only to eliminate unevenness on the laid linoleum and eliminate the possibility of damage to its lower layer, but also to distribute stress evenly.
The base is coated with a thin layer adhesive composition, and direct laying of the canvases is carried out end-to-end. It is strictly not recommended to use glue made on the basis of neoprene, as it does not interact well with the coating, which will lead to loss of color characteristics.
Current-dissipating linoleum sheets involve the use of a special copper mesh installed to provide grounding and conductive adhesive.
The final stage is the elimination of air bubbles using a rubber roller, as well as opening the seams and then sealing them by hot welding.
Antistatic linoleum is a unique floor covering designed to protect others from static electricity. And thanks to the impeccable technical parameters it is deservedly considered one of the most practical and durable.
Antistatic linoleum, video
Linoleum has been and remains one of the popular finishing materials for the floor. There are several reasons for its popularity: relatively low price, speed of installation and wide specification of types of linoleum.
You are probably familiar that linoleum produced by industry is strictly classified according to purpose and application. And the first division of linoleum into household, commercial and commercial flooring. Household linoleum Designed for apartments, houses and other premises with low traffic. This linoleum has a lower abrasion rate. According to its characteristics, commercial linoleum is produced specifically for premises with high traffic (gyms, offices, shops) or premises special purpose.
In this article we are interested in commercial linoleum for special premises. It is logical that such linoleum is called: commercial linoleum for special purposes.
Speaking about special-purpose linoleums, we are faced with two concepts that household level contradict each other. This is linoleum and electricity. However, it is the interaction of linoleum with electricity that distinguishes special commercial linoleums.
There are three types of special commercial linoleum: conductive linoleum, current dissipative linoleum, antistatic linoleum. The types of special linoleum differ in their electrical resistance.
Let us analyze the features of special linoleum using the example of the characteristics and purpose of conductive linoleum.
The task of conductive linoleum is to quickly drain electric charge from the linoleum surface to the grounding system. For these purposes back side conductive linoleum is covered with a special conductive layer, often graphite.

Conductive linoleum is used in special purpose premises:
In conclusion, I will list the features of laying special conductive linoleum:
Antistatic linoleum, although classified as special, is widely used in household and office premises. The cheapest linoleum in this line.
Current dissipative linoleum used in rooms with a small amount electrical equipment (server rooms). Middle price segment.
Antistatic linoleum is a group of PVC flooring materials that prevent the formation of static currents and residual voltage on their surface when a person walks with simultaneous contact with various electrical appliances. Using this type flooring regulated by GOST 11529-86 and GOST 6433.2-71. Linoleum with antistatic properties is recommended for installation in laboratories with a large number of measuring instruments, offices, in computer school classrooms and other rooms where there is a risk of residual stress forming on the surfaces of furniture and equipment.
Antistatic linoleum can compete with traditional and rubberized coatings.
If we consider specifications linoleum in general, then each type has a different antistatic effect. Any PVC coating called insulating. However, materials are capable of accumulating some charge on their surface, and therefore they are not traditionally mounted for additional protection from free currents.
To ensure a sufficient level of safety, the coating must contain:
The difference between the materials lies not only in structure and resistance, but also in installation. The first type of installation is carried out using the traditional adhesive method. To fully use the second one, you need copper tape or mesh and special conductive glue.
Among all the manufacturers of floor coverings that protect against free charge, the international brand Tarkett and its commercial linoleum stand out. The technical characteristics of the company's product comply with TU No. 5771-021-54031669-2009.
Antistatic linoleum tarkett and its main types:
The traditional product of this brand is sold in rolls of 15 m or 20 m. The first is enough to cover 60 sq. m., the second – 80 sq. m. The material has additional protective covering PUR, it is slip-resistant (R9), its wear resistance meets the requirements of group “T”. It is moisture resistant. In addition, other technical characteristics of the coating of this brand differ depending on the line. When sold, antistatic linoleum must be accompanied by a certificate of conformity, which confirms its originality.
The installation of antistatic linoleum is somewhat different from the installation of a similar material with conventional properties. From the correctness of the installation work in the future, the characteristics and protective properties of the coating completely depend, and therefore the installation of antistatic linoleum should be carried out by professionals.
Stages of work:
Depending on the initial characteristics of the materials used, the room where commercial flooring material with antistatic properties was laid can be used within 24 hours.
