What is Chemical Resistant Flooring?

Chemical resistant flooring protects work surfaces from acidic or caustic substances. They can be found in any space that is susceptible to corrosive spills or extreme heat. You see them in areas like a battery charging station in food processing plants where compounds such as Sulfuric acid are used. Cleaning solutions, used to sanitize equipment, often contain these corrosive agents.

“Chemical spills can cause serious damage to concrete surfaces. They can destroy the surface, underlying materials and even seep into the groundwater. Spills create a hazardous work environment, disrupt production or facilitate shutdowns and lead to lost revenue.

How are Chemical Resistant Surfaces Right for Food & Beverage Flooring?

Surface Solutions industrial flooring solutions are lightweight, waterproof, non-porous, seamless and sanitary. These epoxy surfaces are impervious to chemicals, solvents, oils, acids, alkalis and salts. Whatever tough spills you throw at it, this flooring repels it.

Our seamless urethane flooring does not harbor bacteria, mildew or pests. It is durable, easy to clean and slip-resistant, and complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laws and regulations.

For instance, Novolac epoxy topcoat flooring has a unique chemical structure that gives it a higher functionality than regular epoxy products.
