Which Are the Real Advantages of Industrial Floor Coatings?

Concrete floors are porous surfaces which rapidly create dust, retain stains and are prone to cracking because of the wear of daily use. In an industrial environment, those weaknesses increase exponentially, creating potential perils for workers and users of these floors. Unless protected by the adequate coating materials, industrial floors not only become unsafe, but also deteriorate at a much faster rate.

The main advantage of industrial coatings is the general improvement of the floor condition and life cycle: they strengthen the floor surface, increase its resistance to abrasion, wear and chemicals, improve its appearance and ambience, and contribute to make it safer, delimitating hazard and danger areas, marking out guidance to fire exits or offering anti-slip protection. All of these features are of particular importance for commercial and leisure industries, where floors and facilities are open to the general public.

Other industries may also need anti-slip coating for their floors, along with other features available for industrial floor coatings such as resistance to extreme temperatures, pressure or chemical wash, high hygiene standards, dust-free preparation and easy maintenance, as seen in the case of food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. As advised by professionals on industrial flooring in London, each type of industry has particular needs regarding the specific wear conditions their floors have to be able to endure; therefore, choosing the adequate material is essential to ensure the best performance and the lowest life cycle cost.

Making the most of industrial floor coatings means choosing materials specially designed and engineered to withstand the particular abuse each type of industrial floor is subject to, be it chemical exposure, abrasion, impact or thermal shock. Apart from these four elements, there are other important aspects to consider when deciding on a certain coating material. Epoxy, for example, provides a tough, protective and very hard coating, with the additional advantages of being easy to clean and maintain, allowing to create differentiated areas with color and texture, being non-toxic and safe for the environment or providing anti-slip protection for workers and general users.

Coatings bonded directly to the surface of the concrete floor, such as Epoxy coatings, offer a long term protection, most of them including also an aesthetic value, very useful to certain industries. For the automotive industry, for example, Epoxy coatings offer a hard wearing, easy to clean solution with a high degree of slip resistance in greasy and wet environments, and the additional value of a decorative feature to reflect the colors of a corporate branding.

Offering high strength and resistance, hygiene and resin floor coating features, industrial floor coatings help businesses maintaining the highest safety standards

Thanks to its variety of uses and longstanding reliability, industrial epoxy is a popular choice among manufacturers. This heavy-duty polymer can be used on almost anything, ranging from concrete floors to water tanks, expensive industrial equipment and much more. Due to the substance's naturally occurring properties, industrial epoxy is both long-lasting and extremely durable. Its chemical makeup accounts for its ability to form firm bonds, allowing for even the toughest of materials to be joined together. Because of this capability, industrial epoxy is heavily relied upon in the manufacturing world. When sold for industrial use, epoxy is typically shipped in oversized containers, each capable of holding large quantities of the substance, and is most often bought in bulk by manufacturers.

Most manufacturers use expensive equipment that is frequently exposed to corrosive substances, including water, alkali bases and harmful chemicals. In order to safeguard this equipment from further deterioration, companies rely on various types of industrial epoxy as a solution to these problems. Not only is this substance capable of repairing damaged industrial equipment, but its protective polymer coating provides long-lasting prevention against corrosion.
Industrial epoxy is also used as a reliable method for both repairing and maintaining concrete floors often found in warehouses, manufacturing centers and industrial plants.

​Given their constant exposure to heavy industrial traffic, these concrete floors become spalled and worn over time, which eventually leads to the development of holes and cracks throughout the concrete flooring. Manufacturers use industrial epoxy to repair damages, while simultaneously resurfacing the floors with a resilient protective coating. This industrial epoxy coating is capable of withstanding tough impacts, harsh abrasions and heavy traffic, along with offering resistance to strong chemicals, solvents, cleaners, corrosives and acids.

Water and waste management equipment, including pipes, water tanks, wet wells and basins, can easily erode due to their constant contact with elements such as salt water, mineral acids, alkalis and sewage. To repair current damage while preventing future deterioration, manufacturers apply an anti-corrosive coating to all water and waste management equipment. Not only will it repair any preexisting corrosion, but it will provide long-lasting protection against future damage, despite being faced with high temperatures, harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
​
Overall, the development and use of them by manufacturers has proven to be a great success. In addition to the range of things for which it can be used, it also offers protection for your important assets while saving money in the long run. With the variety of industrial epoxies currently available on the market, manufacturers can be sure to find the right product to fit their company's needs. Their ability to repair damage while withstanding dangerous substances and extreme conditions, makes it an invaluable commodity for manufacturers across the world.

Why Huntsville Home Designers Love Epoxy Flooring

​For many years, epoxy flooring was something you might only find in a factory or industrial space. Today the story is quite different. Epoxy flooring has been combined with a range of new products and techniques to create stunning looks in both residential and retail spaces. Interior designers and architects are using products like ArtEpox to create a wide variety of looks.

Design Versatility
​

From classic floors that reflect the beauty of natural stone, to the modern and vivid colourings of ArtEpox floors, there is much versatility when it comes to Epoxy and similar flooring. There are many different types of colours, textures, and patterns available.
Using epoxy finishes, a designer or architect can create a space that can look quite expensive, but still keep within a client's budget. Stone and marble look floor coverings can be created, looks that have been impossible to achieve without problems like installation, grout and break lines, and huge expense before.
Many floor coverings look great, but are impractical in real life. For instance, stone tilling looks amazing, but is often too heavy in older homes. Using an overlay and protective epoxy resin, the same look can be achieved.
While some floor types are not very pleasant to live with, for instance cold underfoot, and quite difficult to clean, designer epoxy flooring makes for a pleasant home of work environment.

Places You'll Find Epoxy
No longer constrained to industrial zones only, you'll find epoxy flooring all over the place. From private designer homes, to shopping centers, retail boutiques, to trendy cafes. Epoxy flooring has taken the architectural design world by storm.
Livable Spaces
One of the greatest benefits of an epoxy floor is that they are easy to live with. Those with pets, or suffering from allergies, will find it easy to keep a space clean and dust free. the floor's reflective surface makes spaces seem light and airy.
An epoxy floor is a tough and durable surface, built for many years of traffic and hard wear. It's a very hygienic floor covering, and suitable for restaurants and cafes. This is also good to keep in mind if you have pets, or a young family. Modern epoxy resins are available in a range of environmentally friendly products.
