Industrial floor coating to fulfil high demands on durability and robustness

Assignment and requirements

When building industrial halls, the floor coating must be very hard-wearing. Especially in the food industry, a robust covering with high mechanical load-bearing capacity is crucial. In addition, it must be (hot) water resistant and withstand rapid temperature fluctuations as well as the chemicals used for cleaning.

Particularities and challenges

PU concrete can fully meet these extreme requirements in the production hall of the food manufacturer PrJSC “MHP”. The 6mm thick polyurethane resin concrete floor is particularly suitable for such food processing areas due to its hygienic properties and high mechanical resilience. After curing, the mortar forms an impact-resistant surface that can be driven over with forklift trucks.

The solution

The high-adhesion primer KLB-SYSTEM PU-BETON 4050 Grundierung and the subsequently applied 3-component polyurethane mortar coating KLB-SYSTEM PU-BETON 4006 are elements of the proven build-up of the robust industrial floor.

Its extremely high robustness minimises the risk of cracking and thus the penetration of germs or bacteria. With slip resistance class R9, the flooring offers a slightly non-slip surface and easily withstands temperatures of up to 90 °C / 194 °F. As an alternative, PU-BETON 4009 allows for higher temperature resistance if the area of application requires it.
