Benefits of Epoxy Floor Coatings for Industrial Settings
Industrial facilities require flooring that can withstand heavy equipment, constant foot traffic and exposure to harsh chemicals. Epoxy floor coatings are a popular choice for industrial settings due to their durability, resistance to abrasions and chemicals, and easy maintenance. The team at Wagon Paints outline the benefits of choosing epoxy floor coatings for industrial settings.
Durable and cost-effective
Epoxy floor coatings are incredibly durable and can withstand heavy loads without cracking or chipping. They are also resistant to impact and abrasion which makes them ideal for high-traffic areas. Epoxy floors can last for many years, making them a cost-effective flooring option for industrial settings. Transothane Finish 3.63 (Flooring Grade) 2-pack polyurethane floor coating provides excellent gloss and colour retention characteristics, along with superior mechanical and abrasion resistance properties.
Chemical resistance
Industrial settings often require flooring that can withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, oils and solvents. Epoxy floor coatings are highly resistant to these substances, making them ideal for use in laboratories, manufacturing plants and other industrial facilities. Transurethane Finish HB 3.44 (Flooring Grade) is a 2-pack high solids polyurethane floor coating providing excellent gloss and colour retention characteristics, along with superior mechanical and abrasion resistance. It is recommended to be used as a U.V. stable protective topcoat.
Easy maintenance
Epoxy floors are easy to clean and maintain which is essential in industrial settings where cleanliness is important. They can be mopped, swept or vacuumed to remove dirt, dust and debris. Epoxy floors are also resistant to stains and can be quickly wiped clean if spills occur. Rhinaqua HB – Colour is a 2-pack water based high-build self-priming coloured epoxy floor coating suitable for use on workshop and warehouse floors, commercial carparks, and food preparation and storage areas.
Safety
Epoxy floor coatings can be customised to include slip-resistant additives which makes them ideal for industrial settings where safety is a priority. The slip-resistant properties of epoxy floors can help prevent accidents and injuries caused by slipping or falling. Rhinamel SR is a 2-pack epoxy / polyamide finish coat with texture profile for slip resistance suitable for use on factory floors, amenities blocks, stairs, walkways and truck trays. Rhinamel Supergrip is a 2-pack epoxy / polyamide finish coat with texture profile for added grip suitable for use on factory floors, amenities blocks, stairs and walkways.
Aesthetic appeal
Epoxy floor coatings come in a wide range of colours and finishes which can help enhance the look of an industrial facility. They can be used to create a uniform look throughout the building or to create zones for different departments or functions. Rhinofloor HBE is a 3-pack solvent-free epoxy floor coating available in ‘Texture’ and ‘Flow’ varieties. ‘Texture’ provides a slight stipple effect to the aesthetic properties of the coating for industrial floors. ‘Flow’ provides a smoother, glossier effect and is ideal for retail, commercial and industrial applications.
