Figure 2) using a 500-1500 RPM variable
speed drill and paint mixing attachment or a
paint mixer.
2. If the paint, after properly mixing, is not
freely transferring from the roller to the floor,

settled solids to produce uniform grey
color.
Saturate a 1/4” fine nap roller with paint,
remove excess paint and trapped air.
Figure 2. Paint application with roller.
A minimum number of strokes from the
applicator is recommended.
2. Combine separate cans of paint into
one container to ensure uniform color distribution. It is
recommended that a
test area be coated to ensure that the adhesion and electrical
performance
of the paint is acceptable. (See Adhesion Testing, Figure 5.) If the

excess paint and trapped air from the applicator by moving
applicator several times in the paint tray.
A minimum of 1 to 2 hours drying time should be allowed before
applying the second coat. The finish can be applied after 48-72
hours or until the last coat of paint is cured. Wait a minimum of 12

the coated area. At high humidity levels, a longer drying time may
be necessary. Do not force dry.

A minimum of two coats of Statguard® Conductive Acrylic Paint is
recommended for appropriate static protection.
Maintenance
Use sweeper, vacuum, or broom to remove dirt. Allow two weeks
drying time before using a damp mop to clean the coated area.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, floor rinse, or scrubbing machine to
clean the floor.
Finish/Sealer
Desco Statguard^® Conductive Acrylic Paint can be overcoated or
sealed with Statguard^® Floor Finish static dissipative coating to
increase durability, enhance shine, improve ease of maintenance,
and seal out dirt and debris. Desco Statguard^® Conductive Light
Grey Acrylic Paint needs the Statguard^® Floor Finish for gloss
and ease of maintenance . Statguard^® is a polymer base floor
finish/sealer that can be used as a top coat on the Conductive
Acrylic Paint. Surface resistivity will then be in the 10E6-10E7
ohms range. Two coats are recommended. Three coats will
improve electrical properties, durability and reduce frequency of
