The Problem
Most suppliers provide carbon black and dark graphite adhesives. These adhesives are troweled on the floor and the tiles must be placed while the adhesive is still wet. This yields a slow and messy installation. Dark wet adhesive often seeps through the seams when the floor is rolled. The only way to contain the mess from seepage is to wipe off tiles with solvents and mineral spirits and rollers while the adhesive is still wet. If the adhesive is allowed to dry, the floor tiles are stained.
The Solution
StaticWorx developed StatBond pressure-sensitive permanent adhesive to replace wet set adhesives. StatBond eliminates messy installations. Unlike wet-set epoxies and conductive one-part acrylic emulsions, StatBond is allowed to dry completely before tiles are installed. This eliminates seepage during rolling. The adhesive bonds upon contact, allowing the floor to receive immediate traffic.
StatBond enables your installation team to install our precision-milled tiles up to 30% faster than other products. And because our tiles are produced with the best squareness tolerances in the industry, you won’t see any adhesive in the seams. And the best part: You can install StatBond in occupied spaces.
The Benefits
$ Lower Cost
StatBond can be applied over almost any surface, cleanly and easily- resulting in an economical installation.
No Shutdowns
StatBond is odorless and certified for emissions by FloorScore. With StatBond adhesive, the floor is ready for traffic within 40 minutes of installation – allowing the installer to lay tile without interrupting the client’s operation. This means no shutdowns and immediate access to the space after the tiles are placed.
Tighter Installation, with No Gaps Between Seams
Working on a dry pressure-sensitive adhesive enables the installer to employ the pyramid installation method for large areas. This method reduces the possibility of variance and cutbacks found in jobs where the tile was installed in rows. It also helps prevent gaps because the geometry of fitting tiles into a pyramid (instead of linear rows) forces the tiles to fit together tighter. A gap-free installation yields a cleaner facility because there are no seams to trap dirt and other contaminates.
What Clients are Saying
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.
Your product is impervious to most/all conditions. It’s impressive. Happy to be working with StaticWorx.
You would never know it was ESD, WHICH IS AMAZING! Your product rocks and I’m so glad we were able to find an attractive solution that didn’t leave us with some run-of-the-mill ugly disaster in the middle of our workspaces!
…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.

StatBond Pressure-sensitive Permanent AdhesiveFrequently Asked Questions
What is StatBond PS adhesive?
StatBond is a dry, pressure-sensitive permanent adhesive designed for ESD rubber and vinyl flooring. It bonds upon contact, eliminating the mess and seepage common with wet-set adhesives.
How does StatBond improve installation speed?
Tiles can be installed up to 30% faster using StatBond. Since it’s dry and ready-to-use, the floor can receive traffic immediately, reducing downtime and labor costs.
Can StatBond be used in occupied spaces?
Yes. StatBond is odorless, low-VOC, and FloorScore® certified, making it safe for occupied offices, labs, and clean environments during installation.
How does it ensure a clean, gap-free installation?
Using a pyramid installation method on dry adhesive reduces tile variance and eliminates gaps between seams. This prevents dirt accumulation and ensures a clean, professional appearance.
What surfaces can StatBond be applied to?
StatBond works on most floor types, including existing floors, concrete, and wood subfloors, providing a reliable permanent bond across various surfaces.
Does it provide effective static control?
Yes. StatBond maintains strong, stable, and conductive bonding for ESD flooring systems, helping to sustain compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards.
