On a busy car production
line random static charges
can wreak havoc with
sensitive electrical
components, affecting their
reliability and causing
equipment failure. Faced
with this problem, MINI
Plant Oxford turned to Sika
for an anti-static flooring
solution.

The solution came in the
form of Sikafloor 262 AS
Thixo, a 2-part electrostatically
conductive textured
epoxy coating.With good
chemical and mechanical
resistance, this slip resistant
flooring system is designed to
deliver a high level of static
control and has a proven
reputation in industries
where there is sensitive
electronic equipment.

Sikafloor 262 AS Thixo is a
decorative and protective
anti-static coating which is
available in an unlimited
choice of colour shades. The
high build system comprises a
Sikafloor 161 primer,
Sikafloor Earthing Kit,
Sikafloor 220 W conductive
coat and Sikafloor 262 AS
Thixo wearing course. It is
suitable as a wearing course in
industries such as automotive,
