Conductive Floor Coatings Help To Secure High-Level Ammunition Bunkers

Dec. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Boston, MA (September 30, 2013) -  Spectra Technologies, LLC, an Arkansas-based subsidiary of a world-renowned player in the manufacturing and assembly operations industry, is the latest addition to a growing list of satisfied clients who have experienced the benefits of high performance conductive floor coatings (http://www.epfloors.com/flooring-types/conductive-flooring/) by flooring specialist EP Floors Corp.

Spectra Technologies is a subsidiary of AMTEC Corporation; and its services include full load, assemble and pack services such as melt casting, press loading, PBX casting, propellant blending and general ordinance assembly. AMTEC is the trusted contractor of the US Army when it comes to its Prime Systems 40mm.

To ensure the safety, security and reliability of its high-level ammunition bunkers, EP Floors installed conductive floor coatings within Spectra Technologies’ protective arsenals where sensitive and explosive materials are stored.

Conductive flooring safely dissipates static charges which makes it ideal for storage environments of explosive materials. Seamless epoxy and polyurethane conductive floors are also proven to be durable, chemical-resistant and easy to clean. The company’s conductive flooring systems are available in a range of attractive colors.

According to EP Floors’ Sean Mitchell, the term “conductive flooring (http://www.epfloors.com/flooring-types/conductive-flooring/)”, also known as static conductive flooring, is different from static dissipative.

“The primary industrial application of conductive floor coatings includes flammable storage areas, explosive storage, munitions and propellants, among others,” he said. “Overall, conductive flooring should not be considered as a superior resistance range as compared to static dissipative range unless it will be used for the aforementioned applications.”

EP Floors’ conductive flooring is in thicknesses ranging from 30 mils up to a quarter inch, depending on the application. Substrate condition, traffic conditions, and other considerations can also affect the necessary thickness of the conductive floor coating.

Mitchell added, “For Spectra Technologies, we provided a cost-effective, turn-key flooring installation with fast turnaround to ensure that the client can quickly resume production.”

EP Floors is an applicator of value-added, seamless and conductive, heavy duty epoxy and urethane floors.  A vertically integrated firm, the company has built a solid reputation for being able to provide everything required for a turn-key project including materials, professional installation and warranty.

The company’s flooring system is in compliance with military specifications of the US Department of Defense 4145.26M which requires resistance to ground of the complete system to fall within a range of 25,000 to one million ohms. The floors also meet National Fire Protection Association 99 specifications as well.

In addition to Spectra Technologies, EP Floors has provided the flooring needs of major industry players including many NASA installations, Northrop Grumman, ATK, Colorcon and CRC among other top level organizations.

“We are proud to have been given the chance to lend our expertise to Spectra Technologies,” Mitchell said. “Our successful collaboration is, once again, testament to why our clients continue to trust us with their flooring requirements.”
