3M™ Static Control Floor Tile 8400 Series is a long-term solution to controlling electrostatic discharge. This solid vinyl tile is durable and attractive and can be installed by competent flooring contractors. The flexible, resilient tiles are made with only 100% virgin PVC and contain a minimum amount of filler and none of the regrind that can make tile brittle. Both the conductive and static-dissipative versions are available in a selection of bright, vivid colors. A proprietary manufacturing process seals in the conductive carbon medium, resulting in a unique tile that can be easily cleaned and shined to a gloss while maintaining its electrical properties — without the use of an ESD wax or polish.

"No Wax" ESD Tile
One of the key attributes of 3M™ ESD Vinyl Tile is its ability to be cleaned and maintained with a minimum of cost and effort.

Unique Cleanability
Our customers report that 3M™ ESD Floor Tile 8400 Series can be repeatedly cleaned and then buffed to a high sheen without ever using wax. With some other ESD tiles, normal cleaning procedures may dull the finish and can even degrade the electrical properties. Conductive wax or glaze must then be used to restore their shine and conductivity. 3M Tile 8400 Series maintain their electrical properties and can be shined like new with simple buffing. These photos demonstrate this feature. The floor section shown is a test patch of 3M™ White Static-Dissipative Tile 8412 installed in a high-traffic area of a regional telephone company warehouse. To determine whether the tile could truly withstand serious abuse and then be returned to like new condition with simple cleaning and without wax, the section was intentionally left unattended for 11 months as it was subjected to the wear and grime of forklift traffic.
The result of this abuse is evident in Photo 1. After being swept, the tile was scrubbed with neutral cleaner, left to dry, and then buffed according to the maintenance procedure established. As Photos 2 and 3 show, in spite of nearly a year of dramatic abuse, the high gloss of the restored floor finish is similar to that of the tile when it is newly installed—without the use of any kind of wax. This trial is an impressive demonstration of the durability of the 3M ESD tile and its unique "no wax" feature.
