Which resin to use for floors? The answer lies in the intended use
There is no valid solution ever: the choice of the type of resinous system depends on the operating context. For example, polyurethane resins offer greater elasticity and therefore resistance to deformations.
But if the goal is to obtain a resistant traction, compression, abrasion and chemical surface, epoxy resins are the most suitable choice, thanks to their ability to respond simultaneously to functional, regulatory and aesthetic needs. In addition, additives to obtain anti -crushing properties, decorative finishes or greater wear resistance is always possible.
Their versatility, high resistance and the possibility of rapid interventions on existing surfaces make these materials precious allies for designers and companies operating in the world of industrial and civil construction.
The areas of industry: more than a simple surface
In industrial contexts, a floor is never a simple trampling surface. It is in fact necessary that the surface can:
- Resist the heavy traffic of trolleys and machinery
- Resist chemical agents and contaminations
- Ensure hygiene and ease of cleaning
- Last
- Offer superficial continuity, for both practical and regulatory reasons
To these requests, the epoxy resins respond with a mix of technical performance, versatility of laying and possibility of personalization.
Epoxy resins: why choose them
These are thermosetting materials capable of forming a compact, uniform and particularly resistant surface. The epoxy resin, in particular, adheres perfectly to the support by creating a protective, continuous and mechanically resistant coating. Among the main advantages:
- High mechanical and chemical resistance
- Perfect adhesion to the cement support
- Possibility of application on existing surfaces
- Ease of cleaning
- Chromatic customization and anti -crushing or shiny finishes
These characteristics make the ideal epoxy resin in work environments, such as storage areas, mechanical and chemical industries, flooring in the hospital and pharmaceutical sector, automotive, shops, showrooms and manufacture in general.
Continuous flooring: functional and regulatory advantages
One of the most functional aspects of epoxy resin flooring is the absence of overlaps and joints on the flooring. This superficial continuity:
- Delete the critical points where they can accumulate dirty, dust, or bacteria
- Facilitates cleaning and sanitizing operations
- It improves safety for employees in work environments
In addition, in contexts regulated by severe hygiene-sanitary regulations-such as food or medical ones-this feature represents a strategic value.
Epoxy resins: advantages during laying
The epoxy resins allow rapid and little invasive interventions, often without the need to demolish the existing flooring. The resinous coatings thus made have the following characteristics:
- Resistance to traffic of vehicles and elevating trolleys
- Resistance to detergents and washes
- Application possible also on non -regular surfaces
- Chromatic uniformity
- Dusiness
A solution therefore that combines performance and practicality, without compromising business productivity.
