A-Z of Flooring Series - C is for Chemical Resistance
Chemical Resistance is a critical property in flooring systems, especially in industrial and commercial environments because of the protection it can provide from exposure to aggressive substances, machinery and heavy traffic, without degrading.
Essential for sectors like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, automotive and manufacturing; these sectors have floors that encounter acids, alkalis, solvents and cleaning agents.
Flowcrete products can cater to chemical conditions and all types of chemical attacks which occur in these environments. The Flowcrete resin system range provides different types of chemical resistance, offering enhanced resistance to corrosive substances, solvents, and foodstuff by-products. This protection is achieved through resin based epoxy and polyurethane systems as well as specialist formulations designed to tackle harsh environments.
These resin based systems provide a range of benefits that protect floors from chemical damage including longevity of the floor, reduced maintenance costs and compliance with health and safety standards.
When considering the use of a chemical resistant flooring product, it is important to assess whether the floor will be exposed to chemicals during specification. It is also important to check whether the product is compatible with the existing cleaning regimes and spill containment processes put in place.
