Industrial Flooring

Industrial epoxy and polyurethane (PU) flooring products are high-performance resin systems designed to protect and enhance concrete floors in demanding commercial and industrial environments. While both offer exceptional durability and chemical resistance, their distinct properties make them suitable for different applications.

Epoxy flooring products

Epoxy flooring is a two-part system made from a resin and a hardener that cures to form a hard, rigid, and durable plastic material.

Key properties:

• Hardness: Epoxy is exceptionally hard and strong, making it ideal for withstanding heavy static loads from machinery and equipment.
• Chemical resistance: It offers superior resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids, making it a popular choice in manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries.
• Aesthetics: Epoxy coatings can be customized with different colors and decorative flakes, and they provide a high-gloss, aesthetically pleasing finish.

Applications:

• Warehouses and distribution centres: Handles heavy forklift and vehicle traffic.
  Manufacturing plants: Resists abrasion and chemical spills.
  Garages and workshops: Creates a durable and easy-to-clean surface.

Polyurethane (PU) flooring products

PU flooring is a polymer material known for its elasticity and resilience, providing a more flexible surface than epoxy.

Key properties:

• Flexibility: Its elastic nature allows PU to absorb impacts and handle thermal shock, making it resistant to scratches, cracks, and delamination.
• Temperature resistance: PU is highly resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for environments like cold storage and freezers.
• UV resistance: Most PU flooring systems are UV stable and will not yellow or fade when exposed to sunlight, making them suitable for outdoor or brightly lit areas.
• Comfort: The slightly softer surface of PU provides more comfort underfoot, which can reduce fatigue for employees who stand for long periods.

Applications:

Food and beverage industry: Withstands thermal shock from wash-downs and provides a hygienic, durable surface.
Cold storage facilities: Its thermal stability prevents cracking in extreme cold.
Pharmaceutical and electronic industries: Provides a seamless, hygienic, and resilient surface.
