Beautiful Industrial Floor Coatings

Industrial floor coatings bring beauty to utilitarian areas. Good aesthetics enhance the appeal of any room and present a good image of the facility. It can also uplift workers' spirits and drive productivity even in manufacturing shop floors.

Industrial coatings can bring a clean and polished look to surfaces while protecting and repairing any sustained damages. Most flooring solutions are water-based epoxies that provide long-lasting performance and enhance the look of ordinary factory decks, storage areas, and warehouses.

Easy Floor Maintenance with Industrial Floor Coatings

Industrial floors are not spared from age and deterioration. Even floors that are constructed using the strongest and highest-quality materials and industrial floor coatings are vulnerable to damages after a certain period of time. Like equipments, tools and machineries, industrial floors have limited shelf-life and need to be maintained.

Keeping Industrial Floors Clean

Industrial floors last much longer with industrial floor coatings that maintain cleanliness and prevent dirt and stains from penetrating the floor surface. Clean floors also look good despite years of operations. And more important, bacterial colonies are denied any chance of thriving in clean floors, thereby preventing pests and diseases. It is no laughing matter when a facility is having a rodent infestation just because food crumbs are dropped constantly on the floors. Worse, chemical and toxic spills often occur in manufacturing shop floors and can lead to safety risks.

Aesthetics in Industrial Floor Coatings

One of the reasons why industrial floor coatings are very useful in industrial facilities is because of the issue of aesthetics. A business is not only an organization driven by production and profit realizations; it should also project a good image to partners and clients. Floors, much like the walls, halls, rooms and other areas of the facility, are part of the image-building process. Industrial floor coatings can help make floors beautiful.

Safety in Industrial Floors

Unsafe floors are major sources of facility accidents, if the proper floor safety measures are not implemented. Serious injuries can arise from slips and falls, like broken bones, bruises, head and even spine injuries. Work-related accidents can be costly -- workers are sidelined and become non-productive, with the facility paying for their medical bills.

Prevent Pinholes – Tame That Displaced Air!

Reducing the appearance of pinholes in any industrial floor coatings application often leads painting applicators to understanding the behavior of air when trapped underneath the concrete surface. Because trapped air seeks outlet and bursts open upwards to form pinholes, one solution is to fortify the concrete floorings with epoxy sealers prior to actual industrial floor coatings application. The sealers sink into the uneven surface profile of concrete, displacing whatever air is present in those crevasses, and eventually causing this displaced air to be vented out.

Avoid Pinholes with an Even Profile

Concrete has a peculiar characteristic in that it may look smooth and even outwardly, but at the microscopic level it actually has an uneven and irregular surface. This is because concrete is a mixture of sand, slag, ash, gravel and other mixed aggregates, and as such, it is riddled with ridges and tiny crevasses that makes for an uneven profile. Depending on the quality of the concrete mixture, the degree of roughness in the surface profile can vary in concrete.

Pinholes are Formed in Warm Temperature

Surface-marring bubbles or pinholes indicate that there is a failure in the industrial floor coatings application. Concrete floor systems should be free of pinholes because these blisters are unsightly and can even undermine the integrity and durability of concrete floors.

Pinholes Can Mar Your Concrete Floor Coatings

Pinholes, those unsightly blisters that can mar an otherwise smooth concrete surface, are evidence of natural forces in action. The entire length of a concrete slab is riddled with air pockets, voids or spaces. When a film of concrete coatings is applied on the concrete surface, air is trapped within these minute capillary vents. When warm temperature heats the concrete surface, trapped air rises to the surface and forcibly creates crater-like indentations or pinholes in the surface.
