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 frequent walking. Forklifts and similar vehicles are common sources of abrasion in workplaces where they are utilized regularly. Installing a heavy-duty resin 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 to give complete protection to the substrate. The best resin coating is one that combines hardness and flexibility. An impact may fracture the system down to the substrate if a coating isn’t tough enough.
However, the harder you make a coating, the more brittle it becomes, thus hardness must be kept in check with flexibility. Abrasion occurs when two rough surfaces come into contact; therefore, a system’s smoothness is crucial.
The Benefits of Using High-Impact Resins in Industrial Settings
Resins such as epoxy are strong, rapid-drying protective coatings that are resistant to particle abrasion. This abrasion-resistant covering protects against acids, hydraulic fluids, oils, chemicals, heating agents, corrosion, and significant impacts. It also provides a shiny surface which can enhance the brightness of your building and it is easy to clean.
