Industrial Floors: The Alternative To Epoxy Has Arrived.

Epoxy flooring is a concrete floor covered by synthetic material referred to as epoxy resin, a compound made of reactive polymers and pre-polymers. The epoxy coating has 2 parts: the first where a chemical reaction involving the epoxy resin and the hardener occurs while the second part is where the hardening and adherence of the coating to the concrete floor occurs. This enables increased resistance to moisture and abrasion.

The most common reasons for poor epoxy floors include poor preparation of surfaces. The new epoxy has a strong bond to the existing floor that must be roughened to enable proper epoxy adherence. Dry, clean and dust-free installation surface is preferred. Epoxy floors are sensitive to factors such as UV radiation and extremely high temperatures. Epoxy floors reduce the elasticity and flexibility of the surface structure.

The concrete floor will soon contain cracks, fissures and joints will deteriorate resulting from all the problems. Once a floor has deteriorated, the industrial processes will be negatively affected. It will also interfere with equipment traffic by causing interruptions and end up affecting the mechanical system of the machinery. A deteriorated floor also leads to production of dust. When these problems mount up, it might be impossible for analogue methods of repair to be effective and the floor will need to be restored.

Restoration of industrial floor eradicates the deterioration and the floor is transformed into a new surface. This enables smooth running of industrial activities and safety of employees is guaranteed. It is also good to carry out maintenance routines and restoration procedures to keep the floor in a good condition.

BECOSAN flooring has become the benchmark solution in the market for industrial concrete floors through treatment of new and existing polished surfaces. The company is Danish with its central operation region being in Europe. The company works with large industrial buildings, performing internationally thereby avoiding the necessity to work with minor local companies.

Some of the industries that may utilize BECOSAN include pharmaceutics, textile, real estate sector and in commercial offices. The company is focused on logistics where the market is projected to grow due to increased demand for e-commerce. It can be utilized by any company irrespective of the activities performed due to its resistance to any and all kinds of stains. BECOSAN offers an array of advantages not forgetting it’s an economical solution hence affordable.

BECOSAN is the solution for deteriorated floors. BECOSAN is great for restoration of industrial concrete floor. It enhances treatment of large areas off surface in a short duration of time. Its system is environmentally friendly and employs chemical engineering that ensures polishing of the highest quality. BECOSAN increases the density of the concrete thereby eradicating its penetrability. This ensures durability, easier cleaning and maintenance of the concrete floor, reduces absorption of liquid, makes the concrete floor dust-free and increases abrasion resistance.

BECOSAN treatment seals the floor and hardens it after repairing to prevent any damages that may arise in the future. It also repairs cracks and fissures to reduce damage risk or injury to people during work. Before treatment of the floor, BECOSAN removes screws and any anchors in the concrete floors. In epoxy floor removal, BECOSAN grinds away the ageing epoxy without the use of lethal chemical solvents. This step is done prior to the concrete floor treatment and grinding equipment is used. The BECOSAN floor when compared to the epoxy floor is smarter, increased resistance to liquid spillage and tyre marks, dustproof and cleaning becomes easier.

In concrete floors with poor maintenance, BECOSAN seals and repairs expansion joints while offering a better alternative with their polished concrete. They also remove any spoilt industrial signs, lines and patches that are in bad condition.
