Corrosion-Resistant Flooring Installation in Industrial Settings
Industrial and commercial floors are often exposed to harsh chemicals, moisture, and heavy traffic, which may lead to costly corrosion and structural damage. Corrosion-resistant flooring systems from Surface Technology Inc. provide a durable shield, protecting surfaces and underlying materials from chemical and physical assaults.
Designed for demanding environments, these coatings extend the life of your floors, improve safety, reduce downtime, and help you comply with strict industry regulations. As expert acid-proof flooring installers, we ensure your facility stays resilient against corrosion and maintains a clean, professional appearance.
What Is Corrosion-Resistant Flooring?
Corrosion-resistant floors are specialized flooring systems that withstand chemical exposure and prevent degradation caused by temperature fluctuations, acids, alkalis, solvents, and other corrosive substances. Typically, these systems consist of high-performance thermosetting polymers like epoxy and urethane, each offering unique advantages.
- Epoxy-based systems: Epoxy flooring provides a seamless, durable, and highly resistant surface. It is particularly effective for environments that require protection against harsh chemicals and frequent abrasion. Its nonporous nature makes it ideal for food processing and pharmaceutical industries, where hygiene and durability are critical.
- Urethane-based systems: Urethane flooring is more flexible than epoxy resins and offers superior resistance to thermal shock and heavy mechanical wear. It is the go-to choice for industries where temperature variations are a concern, such as chemical plants or high-temperature manufacturing environments.
Depending on your facility’s needs, chemical-resistant flooring installers often combine both materials to maximize durability and protection.
Benefits of Installing a Corrosion-Resistant Flooring System
There are many benefits to installing corrosion-resistant flooring, including:
- Prevention of chemical attacks on concrete surfaces.
- Protection of underlying materials from damage.
- Reduced downtime and lost revenue due to production interruptions or shutdowns.
- A safer working environment for employees.
- Compliance with health and safety regulations.
The Best Solution to Prevent Industrial Floor Corrosion
Protecting industrial floors from corrosion starts with selecting and properly installing the right materials. Epoxy resin coatings such as novolac and vinyl esters provide a robust, long-lasting solution that bonds directly to the concrete substrate, creating a near-impervious surface resistant to even the most aggressive corrosive substances.
These coatings are perfect for facilities that regularly deal with acids, solvents, and other harsh chemicals. In addition to chemical resistance, these systems offer slip resistance, abrasion resistance, and excellent compressive strength, which is ideal for high-traffic areas.
Installing Acid-Resistant Resin Coatings for Concrete
A successful acid-resistant resin coating installation begins with meticulous surface preparation and precise application techniques.
Surface Preparation
We begin by cleaning the concrete using a shot blaster or a grinder with a diamond wheel to remove contaminants, smooth the substrate, and create a profile that enhances adhesion. Thorough cleaning follows to eliminate all dust, debris, and residues that could compromise the coating’s bond. Proper preparation extends the life of the flooring and ensures a flawless finish capable of resisting harsh chemical exposure.
Application Process
Once the surface is fully prepared, our technicians apply the acid-resistant epoxy coating for concrete using rollers or brushes with expert precision. Unlike household resins, industrial-grade coatings require accurate mixing at controlled temperatures, with strict adherence to curing times. Professional application guarantees a seamless, chemically resistant layer that bonds tightly to the concrete, creating a seamless, protective surface that resists chemicals, abrasion, and wear.
