Anti-Slip Floor Solutions for Industrial Facilities
Industrial and commercial concrete floors without an anti-slip floor coating can present a physical hazard to employees and customers. Many solutions to this problem exist, and most involve the installation of an epoxy or urethane sealer with a light aggregate addition. A textured finish makes this resin flooring slip-resistant. For example, builders often add extra grit to the glaze coat in a commercial kitchen to improve slip resistance.
The need for slip-resistance varies by application. If you are unsure if your industrial facility needs anti-slip flooring, contact Surface Technology Inc. We provide durable, high-performance anti-slip floor solutions that reduce risk and reinforce workplace safety. Our industry-leading slip-resistant concrete coatings meet strict safety standards, even in the most demanding environments.
What Is a Nonslip Concrete Sealer?
A nonslip concrete sealer is a coating (epoxy-based or urethane) containing some type of aggregate that promotes surface traction. Both epoxy and urethanes can serve as effective anti-slip industrial floor coverings. Each has advantages and disadvantages based on your facility’s specific needs.
Which is Better: Urethane or Epoxy?
When selecting a commercial nonslip flooring solution, urethane and epoxy are excellent choices:
- Epoxy: Epoxy coatings are known for their durability, high resistance to chemicals, and strong adhesion to concrete surfaces. They are ideal for environments where chemical spills or heavy foot traffic are common. Epoxy floors create a seamless, smooth surface that is easy to clean and resistant to wear.
- Urethane: On the other hand, urethane offers superior flexibility and resistance to temperature fluctuations, making it an excellent option for facilities subject to harsh conditions, like those in manufacturing or food and beverage processing. Due to their higher flexibility, urethane coatings can withstand thermal shock, resist abrasion, and offer higher impact resistance than epoxy coatings.
Ultimately, the choice between urethane and epoxy depends on your industrial facility’s environment and specific needs. Some facilities install an epoxy base with a urethane top coat that acts as a seal to maximize durability and slip resistance. Our team at Surface Technology Inc. is here to guide you through this process and help you choose the best flooring solution for your needs.
