Chemical Resistant Floor Coating Starts With A List Of Chemicals
There is no single coating that stands up to everything. Standard epoxy handles oils and many mild chemicals well, while strong acids, solvents and caustics need a novolac epoxy or a vinyl ester system.
At the site walk we ask for a list of what is stored, how strong it is, how hot it gets, and how long a spill might sit before someone cleans it up. That list picks the coating, and the quote names the product so you can check it against its own data sheet.
Containment Curbs And Coves Hold The Spill
A coated floor only holds a spill if the edges hold it too. We build curbs around drum storage and tank areas, and run a cove base up the walls, so the floor forms a sealed tray.
Where the floor drains, we can slope it to a sump or a collection point. Battery charging rooms get a coating that resists battery acid, and the area around the chargers is often marked out with warehouse floor marking.
Chemical Resistant Floor Coating For Plant Supply Shops
The petrochemical plants at Joffre and Prentiss rely on supply, service and fabrication shops across Central Alberta, and many of those shops store glycol, solvents, fuels and process chemicals. The right coating keeps those fluids out of the slab, and keeps the shop floor safer and easier to clean.
We also recoat failed containment areas. Old coating is ground off, damaged concrete is repaired, and a new system is installed to suit what is stored there now.
