GroundTack: Conductive Acrylic Adhesive for Static-Control Carpet Tile

GroundTack – a high-quality acrylic emulsion – combines the performance of a releasable adhesive with the conductive properties of proprietary carbon-particulate technology, creating a flexible electrical ground plane beneath ESD carpet tile. This conductive ground plane creates total continuity across the installation.

No Seepage, No Mess, Quick & Easy to Install

Replaces Slow, Messy Installations with Dark Wet-set Adhesives

Most suppliers provide carbon black and dark graphite adhesives. These adhesives are troweled on the floor. The tiles must be placed while the adhesive is wet, resulting in a slow and messy installation.

When the floor is rolled, dark wet-adhesive often seeps through the seams. The only way to clean the mess from seepage is to wipe the tiles with solvents and mineral spirits while the adhesive is still wet. If you wait until it’s dry, wet-set adhesive is very difficult to remove.

Clear GroundTack™ adhesive is clean, easy to install and handles traffic immediately

Installing ShadowFX carpet tile with GroundTack reduces labor costs, installs faster, and eliminates downtime and shutdowns.

StaticWorx GroundTack releasable adhesive replaces messy epoxies and conductive one-part acrylic emulsions. GroundTack installs easily and can handle traffic immediately.

Unlike wet-set adhesives, GroundTack is allowed to dry completely before tiles are installed, so there’s no seepage when the floor is rolled. With no time-consuming clean-up to worry about, your installation team can install ShadowFX carpet tiles quickly and easily.

Best of all, with no noxious odors, VOCs or chemicals to worry about, you can install GroundTack in 24/7 occupied spaces. Because the adhesive bonds upon contact, the floor is immediately ready for traffic.

Excellent Bond with the Flexibility of a Releasable Adhesive

When installed under modular carpet, GroundTack provides an excellent bond while providing the flexibility of a releasable adhesive.

GroundTack adhesive stays tacky. Because it never dries completely, static-dissipative carpet tiles are easy to lift and remove for repair, replacement or reuse, without your installer ever having to put down more adhesive.

What Clients are Saying
quotes

The StaticWorx products were instrumental in our success on the project. The installation process using GroundTack adhesive helped us bid and install static-dissipative tile at a production rate well above our historical levels. Our installers were genuinely impressed with how square, true, and consistent the product was. We are happy, and more importantly, our customers are happy. StaticWorx AmeriWorx is a superior product and we look forward to working with StaticWorx in the future.

…the floor is awesome! It’s very durable and it’s very convenient that we can lift tiles up to remove debris from underneath, and even replace tiles if they are damaged. So from a functional perspective, this is the best floor for our manufacturing operation.
