Shop/Garage Floors
Here's something to think about if you want that "clean" look for your garage or shop floor.
Certain studies are now being done on epoxy, rubberised, and plastic floor coatings. The potential hazard is that the worker and/or home owner may build up a static charge while working or walking on these surfaces.(Just like carpet) Potential problems: 1. Explosion from working on fuel systems. 2. Arcing of circut boards. 3. Flash fires from solvents. Some of the factors being looked @: 1. Thickness of material being used. 2. Types of shoes being worn. Some of the proposed remedies: 1. Use of grounding straps. 2. Removal of flooring surface. 3. Reinstall floor with metal type filings intermixed in floor application. 4. Reinstall floor with anti-static rated surface. 5. Others not announced yet. However, there are some floors on the market right now that are anti-static rated. So maybe just concrete is the best bang for your buck. Lars

This is not good, my buddy just painted his. Now he will have to see if his is anti static rated.

The only reason I posted this is that the dealership that I work pt for is going through litigation with the flooring company right now.
He had 3 pcms and a diesil chip that got arced out. 1 pcm was gm the other one was toyota and the other one ford.(All confirmed by mfgs) All different techs. Thank goodness no fires. Also on cold dry mornings had problems with scan tools not working correctly.(Vehicles in shop over night) DIY kits seem not to be a problem. Its the thick 3 to 5 part kits that pros put in that are the culprit. Oh ya the lawyers are having fun with this one. The finger pointing has already begun. Lars
