Industrial Flooring Systems For Heavy Wear Areas

Industrial flooring systems encompass quite a few scenarios. For heavy-wearing traffic, the most industrious system would be an epoxy mortar floor as it contains a higher aggregate load, making its impact characteristics stronger.

Chemical resistant systems would use a different resin chemistry, for battery charging stations novolac resin is often specified. For organic bad actors, we often use a vinyl ester resin.

In short, High Performance Systems can provide a free consultation to identify and explain which system works best for your situation.

Industrial Flooring Systems Built for Durability

As previously mentioned, industrial flooring systems cover a lot of areas. They are designed to protect against heavy machinery, chemicals, and extreme temperature changes.

The various industrial epoxy flooring systems are often used in warehousing, food processing, and chemical production. Can I get a site visit to help choose the right epoxy flooring system? All for different reasons, please take advantage of our site visit as we can walk you through the specification process and explain how each epoxy flooring system is the ideal choice.

Durability is the one constant in all of these systems. All our resin products are thermally cured, meaning they will weld to the substrate, of course, assuming the correct preparation of the surface.

Polyurethane Flooring Systems: Ideal for Thermal Shock and Chemical Resistance

Generally speaking, polyurethane flooring systems outperform epoxies in environments that are exposed to extreme temperature, a concern referred to as thermal shock, and chemical exposure from various components of your process, and heavy-duty, harsh cleansers. What are the flexibility and adhesion qualities of polyurethane flooring? They have excellent flexibility and a 300-pound adhesive rating, meaning it will bond tenaciously to the surface remove the existing slab before it might peel.

Some common areas would include, but are not limited to, food and beverage plants, chemical processing, cold storage, and pharmaceutical clean rooms. Please do not hesitate to contact our epoxy contractor team for more details.

FAQs

What is the most durable flooring for heavy-traffic industrial areas?

For areas subject to heavy machinery and high traffic, an epoxy mortar floor is the most industrious choice. Because it contains a higher aggregate load, it offers superior impact resistance and durability compared to standard coating systems.

Polyurethane flooring systems are specifically recommended for areas exposed to thermal shock. They outperform standard epoxies in environments like cold storage or food plants where floors are frequently subjected to extreme temperatures and harsh chemical cleansers.

Different resin chemistries are used depending on the chemicals present. For example, novolac resin is often specified for battery charging stations, while vinyl ester resin is used to protect against organic “bad actors” and aggressive chemical exposure.

These systems are designed to “weld” to the substrate through thermal curing. The polyurethane systems, in particular, boast a 300-pound adhesive rating, meaning the bond is so tenacious that the concrete slab would likely fail before the flooring peels.

Yes. High Performance Systems provides free consultations and site visits. Their team walks you through the specification process to ensure the selected system meets the “fitness of purpose” for your specific industrial environment, whether it’s a pharmaceutical clean room or a distribution warehouse.
