Types of Industrial Flooring
Industrial flooring systems are engineered to withstand heavy loads, mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and frequent cleaning, making them essential for factories, warehouses, laboratories, and commercial spaces. Below are the main types, with descriptions, benefits, applications, and relevant standards:
Epoxy Flooring
Description: Epoxy coatings form a strong, seamless surface by combining epoxy resin and hardener.
Advantages: High chemical and abrasion resistance, easy maintenance, aesthetic finish, seamless surface.
Applications: Warehouses, factories, workshops, hospitals, food and pharmaceutical industries.
Standards: ASTM D638, ASTM D7234, EN 1504-2
Polyurethane Flooring
Description: Polyurethane (PU) floors are flexible, UV-resistant, and withstand thermal shock, offering high durability.
Advantages: Superior flexibility, good UV and thermal resistance, anti-slip options, easy to clean.
Applications: Cold storage rooms, food processing units, parking garages, chemical plants.
Standards: EN 13813, ASTM C579
Cementitious (Cement-Based) Flooring
Description: Made with modified cement mixtures, these floors provide high strength and are great for leveling and hardening surfaces.
Advantages: Excellent load-bearing capacity, dust-proofing, cost-effective, quick application.
Applications: Industrial plants, logistic centers, heavy-duty workshops.
Standards: ASTM C150, BS 8204-2
Vinyl/PVC Flooring
Description: PVC and vinyl floors are flexible, anti-bacterial, and available in various colors and patterns.
Advantages: Easy installation, hygiene, chemical resistance, slip resistance.
Applications: Hospitals, laboratories, clean rooms.
Standards: EN 649, ISO 10582
Ucrete (Polyurethane-Cement) Flooring
Description: A hybrid of polyurethane and cement, noted for exceptional chemical and thermal resistance.
Advantages: Withstands heavy impact, chemical spills, and high temperatures; hygienic.
Applications: Food and beverage industry, chemical industries, pharmaceutical plants.
Standards: EN 13813, HACCP, ASTM C579
Information Required for Concrete Mix Design for Industrial Floors
To ensure the success of an industrial flooring project, the following data are essential:
Required compressive and flexural strength
Exposure to chemicals and temperature changes
Desired surface finish and abrasion resistance
Aggregate type, gradation, and quality
Admixtures or additives for special performance (e.g., fibers, superplasticizers)
Project-specific standards and regulations
Environmental and site conditions
