Sparks won’t fly
August 1st 2005 A specially designed flooring system that freely conducts electricity has been produced by Sika- Amorex and installed in aircraft hangars at RAF fighter stations.
When Harrier jump jets return to the hangar after a flight sparks can fly.
Loaded with static electricity, the fuselage can give a jolt to maintenance staff and anyone else who touches the aircraft.
The problem has been solved by the installation of a Sikafloor system that distributes silica carbide aggregate within the epoxy resin material Sikafloor 381.
This produces a conductive floor surface that safeguards the hanger crews from static electricity shock.
Sikafloor 381 was specified as this two component, solvent free system also provides a high degree of chemical and slip resistance – two further important criteria within the RAF specification. More articles from Sika-Armorex: |
