Abrasion-Resistant Flooring
Facility floors must withstand harsh conditions, from forklift traffic to abrasive chemical spills. Abrasion can lead to costly repairs, safety hazards, and operational downtime, making it essential to invest in a proper flooring solution. At Surface Technology, we provide high-performance, abrasion-resistant flooring solutions that can withstand the most demanding industrial environments. With over 30 years of experience, we deliver reliable, long-lasting flooring installations nationwide.
Abrasion-Resistant Flooring Installation for Industrial Facilities
Abrasion is the result of scraping or wearing away a surface. It can occur as a side effect of friction between equipment and surfaces in industrial environments or just from frequent walking. Forklifts and similar vehicles are common sources of abrasion in workplaces that regularly utilize such equipment. Installing a heavy-duty coating is the proper long-term solution.
What Is Abrasion-Resistant Flooring?
Abrasion resistance refers to a coating’s resistance to wear due to abrasion or impact, allowing the system to continue protecting the substrate completely. The best resin coating combines hardness and flexibility. If a coating is not tough enough, an impact may fracture the system down to the substrate. However, the harder you make a coating, the more brittle it becomes. Therefore, installers must balance hardness with flexibility. Since abrasion occurs when two rough surfaces come into contact, a system’s smoothness is also crucial.
The Benefits of Using High-Impact Resins in Industrial Settings
Resins like abrasion-resistant epoxy coatings are strong, rapid-drying protective coverings that are resistant to particle abrasion. These coatings also protect against acids, hydraulic fluids, oils, chemicals, heating agents, corrosion, and significant impacts.
Other benefits of investing in abrasion-resistant coatings include:
- Increased durability and performance: Abrasion-resistant flooring is durable. It can withstand heavy traffic, equipment, and loads in industrial settings, reducing the frequency of repair and maintenance needs.
- Improved safety and stability: By maintaining an even surface suitable for heavy equipment, abrasion-resistant coatings reduce the likelihood of slip-and-fall accidents.
- Cost and time savings: These coatings reduce downtime and maintenance costs by minimizing the need for repairs and replacements.
- Enhanced aesthetics: Abrasion-resistant flooring protects surfaces from scratches and scuffs, maintaining a professional and attractive look, especially in commercial spaces and public areas. It also provides a shiny surface, which can enhance the brightness of your building.
Steps Involved in the Installation Process
Installing an abrasion-resistant resin floor system in an industrial or commercial environment should not be a DIY project. Resin is a multi-part chemical that must be mixed in exact proportions to achieve professional results. The basic steps involved in our process include:
