Question:

Is Cement Terrazzo an antistatic floor?

If yes, which are the characteristics?Where I can find information about it?How can I measure it?

Answer:

Well, it probably depends on precisely what the floor is made of and what you do to the floor after it is installed, and precisely what you mean by antistatic. Antistatic (dissipating) floors have a finite resistance that conducts static charges to ground. Cement generally retains moisture and can be fairly conductive. Adding a substance like carbon may improve the conductivity of the floor. You may be able to measure this property with a megohm meter. Look one up. When you have a conductive floor, attention must be paid to grounding it. If you coat the floor with a polymer or wax it might become nonconductive, and the polymer may generate static when walked on.
You don't buy it, someone has to be hired to custom make it on site. If you re=ask the question under do-it-yourself category, that you would get way more answers. Good Luck
