PATstat 313 is a P.A.T. Products liquid antistatic additive for resilient and vinyl flooring. Static control for LVT, VCT, and sheet vinyl, metered straight into your PVC compound or plastisol. A finished grade in the PATstat line, supplied across North America.
Vinyl is a good insulator, so an untreated vinyl floor holds static charge. That charge pulls dust and scuff onto the surface, shocks people as they cross the floor and touch a cart or a door handle, and threatens static-sensitive electronics in the rooms that can least afford it. The fix is an antistatic additive metered into the floor itself, so the surface keeps a controlled path for charge to dissipate instead of building up.
PATstat 313 is the P.A.T. Products antistatic additive built for resilient and vinyl flooring, and the flooring grade in the PATstat line. It is a liquid that goes into the PVC compound or plastisol, controls static across the wear life of the floor, and is dosed to hold the static-control target you design to. We supply it across North America with samples and full documentation.
PATstat 313 is a finished grade: a set antistat at a set loading in a set plasticizer carrier. It is made to a fixed specification, so it goes into your compound the same way every time.
That consistency is the point. When you build a static-control floor and qualify it, the additive behind the performance has to stay constant from lot to lot. A finished grade with a fixed specification gives you that: one product, one spec, the same result each run, with a Certificate of Analysis to confirm it.
PATstat 313 is a cationic antistat carried in a plasticizer, supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid at 43% active and free of volatile solvents. Because of its cationic character and high polarity, it lowers the electrical resistance of a PVC system even at small additions.
In practice it brings a system into the 106 to 109 ohm range, with the exact value set by the formulation and the dose. That band covers antistatic and static-dissipative performance. PATstat 313 is an antistatic additive, not a conductivity agent, so it is built for static control rather than full conductive grounding. It is dosed at a low level and chosen to do its job with minimal effect on the color, clarity, and mechanical properties of the floor.
PATstat 313 carries the antistat in a plasticizer. A plasticizer carrier blends cleanly into flexible PVC and meters like the other liquid additives on your line, so the antistat works with your compound rather than against it.
PATstat 313 is one finished grade, set in one plasticizer at one antistat loading. The line is open beyond it. If your system calls for a different plasticizer carrier or a different antistat concentration, tell us the plasticizer you build on and the performance you need, and we will tell you whether 313 fits or develop a new PATstat grade that does.
Flooring static control is specified by electrical resistance and by the voltage a person generates walking across the floor. The tiers run from light to strict:
Antistatic. Limits charge buildup so the floor does not shock people in normal use. The European resilient-flooring walk test, EN 1815, calls a floor antistatic at a body voltage of 2 kV or less.
Static-dissipative. Electrical resistance from 1.0x106 to under 1.0x109 ohms, the range protective ESD materials work in. This is where PATstat 313 lands.
Conductive. Resistance at or below 1.0x106 ohms, the fastest path to ground, normally built with a conductive filler.
Electronics and ESD programs design to ANSI/ESD S20.20, which pairs a resistance ceiling, commonly 1.0x109 ohms tested per ANSI/ESD STM7.1, with a peak body voltage under 100 volts. Healthcare conductive flooring follows NFPA 99. Tell us the tier and the standard your floor has to meet, and we will confirm the dose against it.
PATstat 313 is added in its delivery form at room temperature and below, with no pre-heating. It needs no dilution and no masterbatch step: it meters straight into the PVC compound, the dry blend, or the plastisol with a pump or dispenser, and disperses easily.
Liquid dosing gives you control. You set the dose to hit your resistance target, and you can adjust it on the line instead of reordering a pelletized concentrate. Tell us your formulation and we will recommend a starting dose.
If you compound PVC, the same warehouse stocks low-ash calcium stearate, the acid scavenger and lubricant at the center of Ca/Zn stabilizer systems.
Static control built into the compound for glue-down, click, and rigid-core LVT used in commercial and institutional spaces.
Antistatic and static-dissipative VCT for offices, schools, retail, and the technical spaces that sit alongside them.
Homogeneous and heterogeneous sheet flooring where static control runs across a continuous welded surface.
SD flooring built to ESD program targets for the rooms that handle sensitive electronics.
Vinyl-faced access-floor tile for data centers and control rooms, where the floor is part of the grounding plan.
Matching vinyl wall base and trim that carry the same static-control treatment as the floor.
Static-control flooring is specified where a discharge is a real cost, and a flooring maker that can supply it wins work the commodity floors cannot. The demand sits in data centers and server rooms, electronics manufacturing and assembly, cleanrooms, laboratories, healthcare and operating rooms, telecom and network facilities, and command and control centers.
P.A.T. Products supplies PATstat 313 to flooring manufacturers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It ships in 25 kg and 200 kg steel drums and 1000 kg totes, with a 12-month shelf life in the closed container. Samples are available to trial in your compound, and the grade is made to a fixed specification, so the supply and the quality stay consistent behind your qualification.
A Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet are available, and a Certificate of Analysis ships with each lot. The components are REACH-registered and listed on the major chemical inventories, including TSCA. PATstat 313 is not for food-contact applications, so handle it per the SDS. Tell us the floor you make, the polymer and process, the plasticizer you build on, and the surface-resistivity or static-control standard you design to, and we will recommend a grade, a starting dose, and the documentation your customer requires.
PATstat 313 lowers the surface resistivity of the floor so static charge dissipates instead of building up. Vinyl is a good insulator, so without treatment it holds charge: the floor attracts dust and scuff marks, shocks people as they walk and touch a handle or a cart, and puts static-sensitive electronics at risk. PATstat 313 is metered into the PVC compound or plastisol, where its cationic character reduces the electrical resistance of the system even at low dose, typically into the 106 to 109 ohm range.
PATstat 313 is an antistatic additive, not a conductivity agent. It usually brings a PVC system into the 106 to 109 ohm range, which covers antistatic and static-dissipative performance and sits at or under the 109 ohm ceiling that ANSI/ESD S20.20 sets for ESD flooring. The exact value depends on the formulation and the dose. For full conductive flooring at or below 106 ohm a conductive filler is normally required; tell us your target and we will confirm what PATstat 313 reaches on its own or as part of your system.
PATstat 313 is a low-viscosity liquid, about 300 mPa.s, supplied at 43% active and free of volatile solvents. It is added in its delivery form at room temperature, with no pre-heating, no dilution, and no masterbatch step, straight into the plastisol blend or the melt-compounded vinyl. It meters and disperses easily, and the dose can be adjusted on the line to hit your resistance target.
PATstat 313 is a finished grade, set in one plasticizer at one antistat loading, and it is the flooring grade in the PATstat line. The line is open for development. If your system needs a different plasticizer carrier or a different antistat concentration, tell us the plasticizer you build on and the performance you are after, and we will tell you whether 313 fits or develop a PATstat grade that does.
PATstat 313 is dosed at a low level and is chosen to do its job with minimal effect on the look and the mechanical properties of the floor. It is a clear yellowish liquid. Tell us your wear layer, your color and clarity requirements, and your formulation, and we will recommend a dose that holds your static-control target without changing the floor you have qualified.
