Floors in industrial facilities must meet high standards of quality and reliability and ensure continuous operation under conditions of intense mechanical loads, static stress, exposure to aggressive environments, or strict hygiene requirements. These tasks can be successfully handled by properly selected industrial resin flooring systems.
Characteristics of floors for production facilities
In modern industrial sites, floors are exposed to harsh operating conditions and various types of loads. Therefore, they must have the following properties:
- ability to withstand high mechanical and dynamic loads, vibrations, impacts, and flexing
- high wear resistance, strength, and durability
- resistance to temperature fluctuations, high temperatures, and moisture
- high chemical resistance
- level, seamless surface
- dust-free and hygienic properties
- easy maintenance and operation
- anti-slip surface ensuring safe movement of personnel and equipment
Types of polymer resin flooring for production facilities
When installing poured resin floors for production facilities, experts from company “PFG” recommend the following polymer systems:
- polyurethane-cement flooring
- polyurethane flooring
- epoxy flooring
It is important to remember that there is no universal flooring system suitable for all types of industrial spaces. Each resin system has specific properties that determine where it should be used.
Polyurethane-cement flooring in production facilities
Polyurethane-cement systems are flooring solutions based on polyurethane resin and cementitious fillers. They are characterized by extremely high chemical resistance, vapor impermeability, high thermal resistance from -40°C to +120°C, and long service life (minimum 15–20 years). In industrial applications, systems such as Flowfresh HF, Flowfresh MF, and Flowfresh SR are recommended.
Polyurethane-cement flooring is among the strongest resin flooring systems. For many years, it has been one of the most widely used solutions in the company’s completed projects. It is applied in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industry facilities.
Polyurethane flooring for production facilities
Liquid resin flooring based on polyurethane resin is a highly durable and flexible surface. Once applied to a concrete substrate and cured, the system protects the screed against damage, moisture, aggressive chemical exposure, wear, and temperature fluctuations. Our experts recommend the Flowshield LXP system for industrial environments.
Epoxy flooring for production facilities
Resin flooring based on epoxy resin is very commonly used for industrial flooring in production facilities. This type of surface is characterized by high resistance to wear, mechanical loads, and abrasion.
Epoxy systems used in industrial facilities include: Peran STB, Flowcoat SF41, Peran SL.
