“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.

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.

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.

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.)


IDEAL SOLUTIONS


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

IDEAL SOLUTIONS


6.SurfaceTexture - Smooth, Textured

7. Safety Slip resistant, Electrically insulating, conductive, Crack-bridging, Waterproof, Non-flammable, Decontaminable, Colour stable, Low – odour, environmentally friendly, solvent free

8. Care And Maintenance: Easy to clean, Easy to repair, Overcoat able

9. Comfort Insulating effect (warm), Dampening effect, Sound deadening

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.

IDEAL SOLUTIONS


1.Base Courses/ Substrates - Concrete - Cement/granolithic screed/overlay - anhydrite screed - Magnesite screed - poured asphalt - old coatings - Ceramic tiles - Timber boards - Steel

2.Location Of The Substrate - Internal areas - External exposed - On garde /no d.p.m - Risk of rising damp - without insulation

IDEAL SOLUTIONS


3. Substrate Condition - Age (new or old), Moisture content, - surface profile - Density - Porosity - Brittle - Dehydrated - Physical strength - Compressive - Pull-off - surface harness

4. Contamination - Dust, laitance - Oils, greases - Acids, alkalis - Paints, plastics - Fuels, solvents

5. Damages - Shrinkage, isolation or settlement cracks - Sapling, voids - Roughness, erosion - Joint damage, broken arises
