Features of chemically resistant floors

Chemical resistant floors are used in rooms where there is a constant risk of exposure to aggressive substances - acids, alkalis, oils, solvents. These may be production halls, laboratories, chemical warehouses, car service stations and food industry. Such coatings are subject to high requirements:

resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, solvents and other aggressive compounds
airtightness and absence of seams, eliminating leaks and accumulation of contaminants
resistance to abrasion, point loads and mechanical damage
anti-dust properties and easy cleaning
temperature resistance and stability in case of temperature fluctuations
Possibility of localized repair without complete replacement of the coating

For protection against chemical attack, epoxy or polyurethane-based polymer floors are most often used. We offer new coatings and repair of chemically resistant floors, taking into account the peculiarities of production and requirements for sanitation and safety

Input data for the CP

We require the following information to prepare a quote for chemical resistant flooring:

Photos and videos of the area of the work being done;
Information on the current floor covering in the work area and the need to remove it;
Approximate area of work;
Facility Address.

This data will help us provide you with the most accurate and efficient estimate of the cost and timing of the work.
