TRIGARD® ESD FLOOR COATING

Coefficient of friction, surface roughness, floor flatness, gloss, and wear can all affect the ability of robots to run at their peak performance. Specifying the TriGard® ESD electrostatic dissipative floor finish ensures that your ResinDek® engineered wood flooring panels will endure the consistent, repeated travel patterns of high-frequency robotic traffic and that the robots will perform the way they were intended. ResinDek with TriGard ESD floor panels are engineered to withstand wear associated with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and with the defined travel paths of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs).

The TriGard ESD coating incorporates electrostatic dissipative (ESD) that complies with ANSI/ESD Association specifications to protect sensitive, on-board electronic equipment from damage. Additionally, TriGard ESD has been engineered to provide 3x greater resistance to wear than Gray Diamond Seal® ESD.

TRIGARD ESD FLOOR FINISH PROVIDES EXCELLENT RESISTANCE TO WEAR FROM AGV & AMR ROBOTIC TRAFFIC

TriGard proprietary coating has been tested in accordance with the following standards:

Results: Average Dry: 0.62 | Average Wet: 0.28

Wear Resistance: ASTM D4060 Taber Abrasion

Test Procedure: Grit aluminum oxide sandpaper replaced every 500 cycles with 1 kg of weight

Results: Wear Rating: 6,000 cycles

Gouge Resistance: ASTM D2197

Test Procedure: Tested with weights ranging from 1kg to 10.5kgs

Results: Failure: 8kgs

Light Reflectivity: ASTM D523 Gloss, 85 Deg

Test Procedure: Tested with glossmeter geometries of 85°

Results: 7 GRUs

TriGard® ESD: A Success Story

Ridg-U-Rak, a pallet rack and storage rack manufacturer has installed ResinDek flooring including ESD floor coating on their systems for over a decade. When they were designing two facilities for a 3PL company, it came to their attention that the 3PL planned to deploy a fleet of autonomous mobile robots, so they turned to Cornerstone, their go-to solution provider for the elevated flooring.

ResinDek with TriGard flooring system was selected since it's engineered specifically for robotic traffic. The TriGard finish comes standard with electrostatic dissipative (ESD) protection for electronic components and is a reliable, durable, and cost effective solution for AMR applications.

“They're on the leading edge of developing high-density, elevated flooring products that handle high traffic and highly concentrated dynamic loads, like those on pallet jacks and robotic wheels. When you buy their products you know you're getting high-quality flooring. They are the clear leader with an unparalleled combination of design, engineering, and product testing.”
