Meet Arif, a facilities manager at a large electronics manufacturing unit in Dubai. With over 15 years of experience in industrial operations, Arif had seen it all: machinery breakdowns, supply chain delays, and even safety audits gone wrong. But one recurring issue kept bothering him more than the rest: electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Static electricity was silently damaging sensitive electronic components in the production line. Even though it wasn’t visible, its effects were dangerousrandom equipment failure, damaged products, and increasing warranty claims. Arif knew this was not just a minor inconvenience. It was a serious risk to the company’s productivity and reputation.
So he decided it was time to fix the problem from the ground literally. He needed ESD flooring in UAE and he needed it fast.
The search for the right solution
Arif follows his online method of searching. He found various types of ESD floorings: vinyl tiles, rubber mats, epoxy coatings, and more. Each website emphasized the “best” solution. However, Arif was looking for something beyond just a product. He needed knowledgeable input into the exact planning and a team that understood the real-world issues of the UAE industrial environment.
He inquired more. Some of the companies sent brochures; others gave prices without bothering to ask even about his facility. Agitated and confused, Arif was about to give up until he got a recommendation from another manager from Abu Dhabi.
“Try to get in touch with Petroline Technical Solutions,” his friend counseled. “They don’t sell you just any floor. It’s about helping you build a safer and smarter workplace.”
First impressions
Arif made that call. Right from the get-go, he felt different. Instead of kicking off with prices or product, they started with some pointed questions:
- What kind of equipment do you use?
- What kind of foot and machine traffic do you have?
- Do you need the floor to take heavy loads?
- What are your safety and compliance requirements?
- For the first time, someone was trying to understand his problem, not just
Tailored Recommendations
On a one-time site visit and after a lengthy discussion, Petroline recommended an anti-static epoxy floor finish for Arif’s premises. It suited Arif’s need seamlessly, durable, resistant to chemicals, and most importantly, it gave good protection against the buildup of electrostatic charge.
In lay terms, they explained how the flooring worked. The flooring would provide a path that allowed for insulating or neutral static charges to safely dissipate into the earth away from people and equipment, thereby preventing damage to sensitive electronics.
No jargon. No confusion. Just clear, confident answers. He also thinks of doing the waterproofing services from Petroline Technical Solutions.
Worry-Free Installation
Then came the question of downtime. Further production stoppage could cost the company lakhs. Yet Petroline had a solution in mind.
They came up with a phased installation schedule, which allowed them to work during weekends and off-peak hours. An experienced crew made sure that procedures were carried out safely, cleanly, and on time. The best thing about that is the fact that they took care of everything, from surface preparation right through to application, testing, and certification.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Since installation, the ESD flooring has been there for six months. And the results?
There has been a marked decrease in equipment failures due to static discharge.
