AVON, MA – January 15, 2026 – SelecTech, Inc., a leading manufacturer of innovative and sustainable ESD flooring products, recently announced the launch of its newest static control flooring, StaticStop FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X. This new product features a patented hidden “zipper-lock” connection, making it the first and only free-floating static control flooring system of its kind. The product made its debut at several SMTA International Expo events this fall in North America and Mexico.
Industry-First Hidden Connection Technology
FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X introduces a revolutionary approach to static control flooring with its patented hidden interlocking mechanism that eliminates the visible connection points found in traditional modular flooring systems. FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X is engineered to provide a reliable, state-of-the-art ESD protection system that eliminates the need for adhesives, copper foil, or underlayments during installation. The free-floating system of 18.5″ x 18.5″ interlocking tile design allows for installation over high-moisture, irregular, and other problematic subfloors with minimal downtime, reducing costs and improving facility efficiency. This innovative design significantly reduces installation time and costs without disrupting manufacturing operations.
Key features of FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X include:
-
Patented Interlocking System: The unique “zipper-lock” ensures a secure, seamless connection that can be installed directly over existing flooring.
-
Superior Performance: The tiles are “conductive, connected and grounded,” delivering permanent, guaranteed lifetime conductivity without requiring conductive rejuvenators or expensive maintenance solutions. The system complies with the requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20.
-
Sustainable Materials: Manufactured with a minimum of 20% recycled materials, FreeStyle ESD™ is the only conductive flooring of its kind that can contribute to LEED™ certification points.
-
Durable and Low-Maintenance: The conductive polyurethane finish provides outstanding performance with minimal maintenance requirements, and the flooring is backed by a lifetime electrical warranty and a 10-year limited wear warranty.
“Our expansion into the electronics market reflects the growing demand for reliable, easy-to-install ESD flooring solutions in advanced electronics manufacturing,” said Tom Ricciardelli, President of SelecTech. “FreeStyle ESD Classic X is purpose-built for facilities that need high-performance static control without the hassle of shutdowns or complex floor prep. The hidden zipper-lock connection not only provides a cleaner, more professional appearance but also makes installation faster and easier than ever before. Manufacturers can now upgrade their ESD flooring without interrupting production.”
Unmatched Performance and Durability
Engineered specifically for the demanding needs of electronics manufacturing environments, FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X features a conductive polyurethane finish that delivers superior durability and the easiest maintenance of any conductive vinyl flooring on the market. The tiles meet all ANSI/ESD S20.20 requirements and are available in both conductive and static dissipative options to address varying facility needs. SelecTech backs the product with a lifetime electrical warranty and a 10-year limited wear warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Environmentally Responsible Design
Consistent with SelecTech’s commitment to sustainability, FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X is manufactured using post-industrial recycled content and can contribute to LEED™ certification points. The tiles are 100 percent recyclable and require no conductive rejuvenators, wax, or expensive maintenance solutions, reducing both environmental impact and ongoing operational costs.
Simplified Maintenance for Maximum Uptime
Unlike traditional ESD flooring that requires regular application of topical coatings or finishes, FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X features “top to bottom” conductive veins that provide permanent, guaranteed lifetime conductivity without any topical treatments. The durable polyurethane finish resists stains and chemicals while remaining easy to clean with standard cleaning procedures, making it the most maintenance-friendly conductive flooring solution available.
Multiple Color Options Available
FreeStyle ESD™ Classic X is available in a variety of colors to complement any facility design while maintaining full static control capabilities. The conductive and connected flooring system ensures complete ESD protection throughout the entire installation, making it ideal for electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, aerospace, biotech, healthcare, and other high-tech industries.
