We have put together an outline of several popular industries as well as the concrete floor coatings that best suit its needs. In order to ensure you get the maximum benefits possible according to your industry, consult the floor coating recommendations below. 

Managers and owners of industrial sites are always looking for the best floor performance while reducing the risks associated with their industry. That is why it is important to invest in an industrial floor coating that meets the needs of their unique business. When it comes to machinery shops, meat processing, chemical facilities and the like a no-slip surface is of high importance. Industries that see repeated spills or a high likelihood of liquids, oils or grease on the floor should look to slip-resistant industrial floor coatings that use a coating substance mixed with a coarse aggregate like sand or crushed minerals. Both epoxies and polyurethanes will work for this function, but polyurethanes are slightly easier to use. 
 
For heavy traffic industries, durability is key. Durable and long-lasting flooring designed for use in moderate to heavy traffic. Learn more about ECO-HTS 100 Urethane Coatings. 
 
Or, if you are a facility that is evaluated by the USDA, then chances are you are required by law to implement a flooring system that can resist microbial growth while minimizing dust and controlling residue. For use around food processing, kitchens, and meat-packing, our cementitious Urethane are FDA-approved durable floorings for food industry. 
 
Industrial facilities that use acidic or generally corrosive materials will require a special blend of high-strength, chemical-resistant epoxy. A more chemical-resistant industrial concrete floor coating may not only prolong the lifespan of flooring systems, but they can prevent dangerous reactions that occur when certain chemicals make contact with flooring and produce fumes. Cleanup is also made easier since chemicals are prevented from penetrating the surface’s pores. A variety of formulations resist chemicals, protect against static discharge and reduce water vapor transmission.
