Conductive Epoxy Adhesive
Application Instructions & Safety Data Sheets
Made in the
United States of America
Subfloor Condition and Preparation
The adhesive is designed for tile installations above-,
on- or below-grade, and where moisture is not a factor.
The subfloor must be level, clean, dry, and free of
contaminants like powdery residue, concrete curing
compound, or old adhesive. For optimum adhesion, the
surface of the subfloor should be abraded to a texture
similar to that of 80- to 100-grit sandpaper. Protrusions
should be removed; cracks and depressions should be
filled with good grade cementatious underlayment, and
uneven areas should be leveled.

Figure 1. 8403 Conductive Epoxy Adhesive
Description
Statguard Flooring’s 8403 adhesive is a conductive,
high-solids, 2-part epoxy adhesive that is
recommended for installation of 8400 Series
Static Control Vinyl Floor Tile, both conductive
and static-dissipative tiles. It provides an efficient
electrical groundplane underneath the entire floor
to drain electrostatic charges to ground. The black
adhesive is supplied in “gallon units”, each consisting
of two gallon-sized cans, Part A and Part B, that are
pre-measured to provide the proper mix ratio when the
contents of the two cans are combined. The coverage
rate for each gallon unit is typically 135 square feet.
Both the floor tile and the conductive adhesive should
be preconditioned to the job site environment for 48
hours prior to installation. Recommended storage,
conditioning, and installation temperature range is 65°F
to 85°F.

The mixing ratio, Part A to Part B, is unequal parts by
volume. All of the conductive pigment is contained
in Part B. Each part should be thoroughly mixed
individually in its own can before the two parts are
combined. (Two wooden mixing paddles are provided
in each carton; use a separate paddle to stir each
part.) Pour the entire premixed contents of the Part A
into the can holding the premixed Part B and mix the
two parts together for 3 to 5 minutes.
NOTE: Thorough
mixing is extremely important to attain the specified
electrical properties and complete chemical cure.
A
variable-speed electric drill (3/8”) with a mixing paddle
should be used to mix Parts A and B together in the
Part B can. Mixing speed should not exceed 200 rpm;
higher speeds will create excessive heat, speeding
up the curing action of the epoxy in the can, making it
thicker and more difficult to spread.

Immediately after mixing, pour the entire contents of
the can onto the floor. If the mixed compound is left
in the can, it will generate excessive heat and start
to cure prematurely, making it unusable. Spread
the adhesive as soon as possible using a 1/16"
square-notched trowel (2 mm x 2 mm) with 1/16" (2
mm) flats, held at a 45° angle to the floor surface.

Spread Rate
Typical spread rate for 8403 conductive adhesive,
using the recommended trowel, is approximately
135 square feet per unit. Actual spread rate varies
with subfloor porosity and applicator technique, and
the installer should adjust according to conditions.
Snapping chalk lines on the floor to outline sections
135 square feet in area will make the spread rate
control easier.

Tile Installation
After the adhesive has been spread, allow it to “flash
off” for a short time (typically 15 to 20 minutes) before
starting to install tile. The working life of the spread
adhesive is about one hour. These times will vary
with temperature, and the installer should adjust
according to conditions. “Drop” each tile into place
and press firmly into the adhesive; do not “slide” the
tile into position.
NOTE: Throughout the installation,
the installer should periodically lift a tile to ensure
that there is adequate adhesive transfer. The back
of each tile should be at least 90% covered with
adhesive.
Work from the “dry” side to avoid contact
with the freshly laid tiles; if working on top of the tiles is
necessary, use a kneeling board to avoid accidentally
shifting any tiles. Shortly after each section has been
laid, it must be rolled twice with a 150-lb (70 kilogram)
sectioned roller, first in one direction and then in a
perpendicular direction. Roll the entire floor once again
at completion. Use a hand roller in areas that cannot
be reached with a large roller.
Clean Up
Clean excess adhesive on the tile and tools promptly
using a soapy solution or denatured ethyl alcohol or
isopropyl alcohol (friction alcohol).
Cure Time
Typically, newly installed tile can withstand foot traffic
24 hours after installation. Allow a full 48 hours for
curing before moving any equipment onto the new
floor.
Grounding
Statguard Flooring recommends
installing one copper grounding
strip per 1,000 square feet
throughout the installation. A thin
coating of adhesive should be
applied on top of grounding strip
to ensure good contact with tile
backing.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Respiratory Protection:
Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing of vapors or mists. Airborne
concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. When exposures
are not adequately controlled, use an approved respirator. Selection of
air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied air will depend on the specific
operation and the potential airborne concentration of material. For
emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Protective Clothing:
Protective clothing such as uniforms, coveralls, or lab coats must be
worn. Launder or dryclean when soiled. Gloves and goggles resistant
to chemicals and petroleum distillates required. When handling large
quantities, impervious suits, gloves, and rubber boots must be worn.

Excess heating over long periods of time degrades the resin.
Will not occur by itself, but masses of more than 1 pound of product plus
an aliphatic amine will cause irreversible polymerization with considerable
heat buildup.
Avoid exposure to heat, light, flame, or other sources of ignition. Can
react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents, strong lewis or mineral
acids, and strong mineral and organic base/especially primary and
secondary amines. Reaction with some curing agent may produce
considerable heat.
