Semiconductor & Electronics Flooring Systems
Acid and solvent delivery in the sub-fab, wet benches on the process level, static-sensitive assembly down the hall, and a warehouse that runs on forklifts. One site, six different floors. Maverick engineers each zone of a wafer fab, printed circuit board plant, or electronics assembly operation to the chemistry, traffic, and static-control program it actually carries.
One Site, Six Different Floors
A sub-fab chemical corridor and a PCB assembly line are in the same building for the same product and need nothing in common underfoot. The corridor needs a novolac-topped body and containment detailing that hold acids and solvents until they are cleaned up; the assembly line needs a static-dissipative finish that tests the same way every quarter. We match the build to the zone, not to the industry.
Semiconductor and electronics flooring pairs ¼″ troweled epoxy mortar with chemical-resistant novolac topcoats in the chemical areas, urethane cement where hot rinse and thermal cycling would stress an epoxy, static-dissipative urethane floor coating where electronics are handled, and smooth, coved, seamless epoxy in corridors and gowning. Decorative broadcast systems carry the same seamless logic into break rooms and cafeterias. Resin selection follows the chemical-resistance chart on each product data sheet.

Fab Support & Sub-Fab
Chemical delivery, acid and solvent lines, slurry, and the drips and spills that come with them. ¼″ troweled epoxy mortar under a MavCoat NV novolac topcoat, with curbs, sumps, and containment detailing at the chemical cabinets.
Wet-Process & Chemical Rooms
Wet benches, acid and solvent handling, rinse water, and washdown. Chemical-resistant epoxy over urethane cement where thermal cycling is part of the day; novolac over epoxy mortar where it is not.
ESD-Sensitive Assembly & PCB
Board handling, component placement, and rework stations where a static event is a yield event. MavCoat ESD static-dissipative urethane floor coating applied over an epoxy insulator coat and grounded to the building — surface resistance, point to point/ground, 1×105 to <1×109 ohms per ANSI/ESD STM 7.1 — for electrical assembly, circuit-board handling, avionics areas, static-sensitive manufacturing and packaging, clean rooms, and labs.
Test & Packaging
Foot and cart traffic, automated material handling, and a floor that has to stay clean and light under inspection lighting. Self-leveling or high-build epoxy with a hard-wearing topcoat and coved transitions.
Cleanroom Corridors & Gowning
Seamless, coved, and cleanable where particle control starts. Self-leveling epoxy with integral cove base and a low-odor topcoat, installed to the facility’s cleanliness protocol. More on the cleanrooms and laboratories page.
Warehouse & Mechanical
Forklift traffic and racking in the warehouse; chillers, pumps, and scrubber systems in the mechanical rooms. High-build or silica-broadcast epoxy, with moisture mitigation where the slab tests wet — see mechanical spaces.

| Test & Packaging | Foot and cart traffic, automated handling, inspection lighting | MavCoat SLE or HB epoxy with MavSeal HSU topcoat | — |
| Cleanroom Corridors & Gowning | Particle control, cleanability, seamless transitions | MavCoat SLE epoxy with integral cove base; MavSeal HSU or UPA topcoat | — |
| Warehouse & Mechanical | Forklift traffic, equipment loads, slab moisture | MavCoat HB or PC with MavSeal HTU; MavCoat MVB where the slab tests wet | — |
Starting points, not prescriptions. Every Maverick system is engineered to the condition of the substrate, the abuse it takes, and the facility’s history with previous floors — the build changes from room to room and plant to plant. Only new construction over bare concrete comes close to a standard build.

Straight Answers Before You Call
What floor goes under sub-fab chemical delivery?
A chemical-resistant body with containment detailing, not a coating. The starting point is quarter-inch MavClad EM troweled epoxy mortar under a MavCoat NV novolac topcoat, which our catalog lists as resisting concentrated acids including 98 percent sulfuric acid. Curbs, sumps, and the terminations at chemical cabinets are detailed to hold a spill until it is cleaned up. The specific resin follows the chemical-resistance chart on each product data sheet, matched to the chemical list for that corridor.
Do you install ESD flooring for PCB and electronics assembly?
Yes. Our static-dissipative floor is MavCoat ESD static-dissipative urethane floor coating applied over an epoxy insulator coat and grounded to the building - surface resistance, point to point/ground, 1×10^5 to <1×10^9 ohms per ANSI/ESD STM 7.1 - for electrical assembly, circuit-board handling, avionics areas, static-sensitive manufacturing and packaging, clean rooms, and labs. It is tested in place before handover.
Can the floor be installed in an operating facility?
Yes. We sequence by corridor, bay, or room so adjacent production keeps running, coordinate dust control and containment during prep with the facility's contamination-control team, and carry low-odor and fast-cure options for the areas that have to be back in service quickly. Bring us the shutdown window and the cleanliness protocol and we engineer the installation around both.
Is one floor system used across a fab?
No. The sub-fab, the wet-process rooms, the assembly line, the test and packaging floor, the gowning corridor, and the warehouse each see different chemistry, traffic, and static-control requirements, and each has its own history with previous floors. Every Maverick system is engineered to the substrate, the abuse, and that history. Only new construction over bare concrete comes close to a standard build.
Planning This Work?
Tool-move windows, running production, cleanliness protocols — bring us the constraint and we will engineer the floor around it.
