2. “INDUSTRIAL FLOORING”
Floors in industry and commerce
are not just parts of a structure.
Industrial floors are heavily
exposed to stress. Many
production processes and
procedures take place on these
floors. They are also exposed to
industrial chemicals. On top of
this, industrial floors also have
to meet a variety of operational
requirements. Slip resistance,
crack bridging, non-flammability,
conductivity, aesthetics, ease of
maintenance, and, last but not
least, long life – these are just a
few examples of the
expectations for functional
industrial floors.

4. CONCEPT
Every industrial floor consist of two
elements;
Element 1, the base course, which
always consists of the structural
reinforced concrete slab. The
purpose of this “load-bearing”
course is to absorb or distribute
static and dynamic loads.
Element 2, the wearing course is
the dominant part. The wearing
course protects the floor from
physical and/or chemical attack.
The wearing course also has to
meet the individual operational
demands.
Each element has its function,
which is precisely defined. An
industrial Floor can not be high –
quality unless both the base course
and the wearing course meet all of
the requirements.

5. Two factors are particularly
important in the construction or
design of a high quality yet
economic industrial floor:
- The Operational Requirements
- The Selection, Analysis And
Preparation Of A Suitable
Substrate.
To select the right coating system,
both must be examined in detail
and coordinated. This is the only
way to ensure that the industrial
flooring meets the requirements
of the project – cost effective
and just right for the application.

6. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The application and the severity
of the operational requirements
can vary widely. Below are a few
examples of typical exposures;
1.Mechanical Exposure From:
Pedestrian and/or vehicular
traffic, Low and light lift trucks,
Transport containers, such as
pallets, steel mesh boxes,
containers, drums, reel holders
etc., Weight of tools / products
/machines, Abrasion, shock and
impact (broken glass etc.)

2. Chemical Attack From:
Oil, greases, Soluble salts,
Alkalis, acids, Fuels, solvent,
Cleaning agents etc
3. Thermal Stress From:
-Heat: Short term by steam
cleaning etc, Long term in specific
production areas.
- Cold: Short term by shock, open
doors, etc, Long term in specific
production areas, cold storage etc.
4.Weathering, Mainly On External
Sunlight, UV, Frost, thermal
shock, Rain
5.Aesthetics
Colour, design/coding, Coloured
chips, Gloss/ Matt

Selection, Analysis And Preparation
Of A Suitable Substrate
The second and equally
important factor in
selection of a suitable
wearing course is the type
of substrate and its
condition. Any wearing
course can only be as
good as its base. If the
load- bearing course or
substrate is defective
even the best and most
expensive wearing course
cannot improve it.
