FLOORING

The use of protective coatings on concrete floors offers numerous advantages. These coatings will protect a floor from chemical attack, reduce wear and tear on the concrete, make clean-up easier, reduce operator fatigue, and provide an improved plant appearance. Liquid epoxies, flexible PVC liners, and anti-fatigue mats can be utilized depending on your needs.

I. Plant Floor

Liquid epoxy coatings are easy to apply. After the proper surface preparation, the liquid epoxy system can either be brushed, rolled, or sprayed on the surface. Skid-proof additives can be added to reduce the possibility of slipping. Anti-fatigue mats can be used around machine or process line areas to reduce fatigue, provide a safer footing, and reduce floor wear and tear.

II. Secondary Containment

Flexible PVC sheet can be installed to provide a barrier between the concrete floor and any chemical spills. These liners do not require surface preparation and are easy to install. Flexible PVC liners are recommended only for non-traffic areas. Liquid epoxy coatings can also be used, but do require some surface preparation. The concrete floor must be etched or blasted, primed, and the liquid epoxy applied. Epoxy coatings do eliminate the possibility of tear or puncture damage, and can be used in high-traffic areas.
