Heavy Duty Factory Floorings

Epoxy and Polyurethane based polymers, when carefully designed and applied, act as preservatives for concrete floors, floors that may deteriorate from daily plant use. Often used for vehicle maintenance and hangar floors, epoxy coatings and other high-tech resin systems can be used in a wide variety of production environments, commercial office and store floors, walkways and halls. Many facilities around the world have already experienced the benefits of industrial epoxy and other polymer floor coatings through UNICA's innovative and versatile product range.

For companies engaged in the production of sanitary products, such as food and pharmaceutical factories, high-performance flooring systems that prevent bacterial growth and comply with the sanitary requirements of each facility are imperative. UNICA, with its R&D and technical teams, has adopted production in accordance with international standards as a quality policy.

The application of high performance floor coatings such as epoxy coatings and polyurethane in industrial production facilities is important for the following reasons:

Flexibility: Well-designed epoxy and polyurethane floor coatings withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, solvents and high pH. This is ideal for production facilities that can regularly use such substances. Depending on the formulation, once the high-performance coating components have cured, the resulting solid polymer surface is incredibly strong and prevents chemical and physical deformation.

Safety: Epoxy and Polyurethane based floor coverings can be produced with slip resistant properties to help prevent slips and falls. It even provides protection against fire by adding flame retardant properties. By nature, Epoxy and Polyurethane floor coatings do not cause harmful mold growth, but additional antimicrobial additives can help further inhibit the spread of pathogens. These and other factors will help protect the safety of both your employees and your structure.

Cost-Performance: Epoxy & Polyurethane coated concrete floors last longer and are significantly abrasion resistant, saving facilities money and enabling managers to make good use of resources.

Save Time: In most cases, epoxy and Polyurethane floor coating systems can be applied in a relatively quick time, reducing lost production time or even eliminating due to timing.

Cheap and Easy Cleaning: After the concrete is properly prepared and covered with high quality Epoxy & Polyurethane flooring, it is now homogeneous, liquid impermeable and glossy. With this feature, dirt, chemicals and other substances are easily cleaned from the floor. No grout lines means faster cleaning and less labor.

Visual Aesthetics: UNICA offers a wide variety of floor coverings in a variety of colors, patterns and even customized logos to match the unique style of each facility.

Gloss: The majority of our customers prefer a glossy-looking option because it reflects light. Light colored floors also help to brighten the space and the mood of the occupants.

Convenience on Forklifts and Other Transport Vehicles: A properly paved concrete floor has a safe, monolithic surface, free of roughness, cracks and potholes. This helps keep forklift loads, vehicle suspension systems and tires intact.

Environmentally friendly: Epoxy and Polyurethane based floor coatings can be an environmentally friendly option for your business. Managers now care that most of today's liquid coating ingredients contain zero VOCs and that products from leading manufacturers are free of heavy metals. In addition, UNICA floor coverings are formaldehyde and phthalate free and offer recyclable packaging for many products. The infrequent replacement and long-term durability of epoxy flooring and other liquid-applied alternatives add to its eco-friendly benefits.

Choosing the appropriate flooring is an investment decision for any business. If the decision is made wisely, UNICA offers long-term, high-performance and long-lasting system solutions to the surface of concrete and other similar floors.
