ABOUT INDUSTRIAL FLOORING

Industrial flooring systems are used to provide the surface finish to concrete floors in all types of industrial and commercial premises, including airplane hangers, assembly areas, automotive plants, bakeries, bottling areas, candy manufacturing, and chemical plants. The most common type of industrial flooring is epoxy coating. This may be be built up to thicknesses of between 5mm and 25mm, and may be solvent or water based.

An alternative type of coating is made from polyurethane. This is a two-component system, which cures independently of relative humidity, and produces a high gloss finish. Specialist industrial flooring is available for areas exposed to harsh chemicals or severe temperatures. Specialist electrocstatic discharge (ESD) industrial flooring is available in situations where static electricity could interfere with electronic components or volatile chemicals.
