Industry requires flooring that is tough, not too abrasive, nor too smooth. There are a number of flooring treatments that can ensure the finish of flooring that is required by a particular industry .
To prepare the ideal surfaces, the site is both visually and phisically inspected, before a particular flooring treatment is recommended. The flooring that is finally recomended is customised to particular industries e.g. pharmaceutical, food processing, heavy industry etc. since each of these requires a different kind of flooring.
Epoxy resins are being used by the construction industry to an ever growing extent in applications for which conventional matarials are only conditionally suitable or not at all. Because of their many useful properties, they can be used to formulate a wide range of products, e.g.
Floor toppings based on epoxy resins are exceptionally hard wearing, have antiskid properties are non-dusting and easy to keep clean. They also cure relatively rapidly and with almost negligible shrinkage, adhere durably to a variety of substrates, show very good resistance to water and chemical attack, and have high compressive and flexural strength.
This combination of properties, coupled with economy of application and maintenance, have resulted in the extensive use of Epoxy Resin based floor toppings in large and small industrial buildings where heavy duty floors are a major requirement, e.g
