Epoxy & PU Flooring Systems for Industrial & Commercial Spaces
Self‑leveling epoxy, epoxy mortar, polyurethane (Ucrete‑type) screeds, anti‑static ESD and antimicrobial coatings engineered for heavy traffic, chemicals, and thermal shock.
Why Choose Resin Floors
Seamless & Hygienic
No grout lines to trap dirt. Easy to sanitize. Optional antimicrobial topcoats for hygiene‑critical zones.
Chemical & Thermal Resistant
Epoxy resists oils, alkalis and many solvents; PU‑concrete (Ucrete) handles hot washdowns, steam, and organic acids.
Built for Heavy Traffic
From pallet trucks to forklifts, specify thickness and texture to match your loads and slip‑resistance target.
System Types
Self‑Leveling Epoxy (2–5 mm)
Smooth, seamless, high load‑bearing. Ideal for garages, basements, production, and logistics aisles.
Epoxy Mortar / Quartz Screed (6–9+ mm)
Aggregate‑reinforced toughness for impact zones, loading bays, and point loads. (Common misspelling: “epoxy moter”).
PU‑Concrete (Ucrete‑Type) Screeds (6–12+ mm)
Thermal‑shock champion for food & beverage plants, kitchens, dairies, and wet process areas.
ESD / Anti‑Static Systems
Conductive or dissipative floors with copper grids and earthing. Ideal for electronics, cleanrooms & data centers.
Antimicrobial Topcoats
Additives that inhibit microbial growth on the coating surface—an aid to, not a replacement for, sanitation.
PU Aliphatic Topcoats
UV‑stable, abrasion resistant finishing coats that protect color and gloss in sun‑exposed areas.
Performance Comparison
| System | Typical Thickness | Strength / Durability | Chemical Resistance | Thermal Shock | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self‑Leveling Epoxy | 2–5 mm | High compressive; smooth finish | Oils, alkalis, many solvents | Moderate | Garages, basements, logistics, production |
| Epoxy Mortar | 6–9+ mm | Exceptional impact & point‑load | Excellent with suitable topcoat | Moderate | Loading bays, workshops, heavy industry |
| PU‑Concrete (Ucrete) | 6–12+ mm | Very high toughness | Outstanding vs organic acids | Excellent (hot washdown/steam) | Food & beverage, kitchens, dairies |
| ESD Systems | 2–4 mm | Static control compliance | As per chemistry used | Moderate | Electronics, cleanrooms, data centers |
Application Workflow
1) Prep & Prime
Shot‑blast/diamond‑grind to ICRI CSP, repair cracks, test moisture; apply suitable primer (MVT‑tolerant if needed).
2) Body Coat
Self‑leveling epoxy (2–5 mm) or trowelled epoxy mortar (6–9+ mm). Spike‑roll SL to release air.
3) Broadcast & Topcoat
Add quartz/bauxite for slip resistance. Finish with PU aliphatic, ESD, or antimicrobial topcoat.

FAQs
Which system handles hot washdowns best?
PU‑Concrete (Ucrete‑type) screeds are designed for thermal shock, steam, and aggressive organic acids found in food and beverage plants.
Can I make epoxy UV‑stable?
Yes. Specify an aliphatic PU topcoat for color retention and improved abrasion resistance under sunlight.
Do antimicrobial floors replace cleaning?
No. They supplement sanitation by inhibiting microbial growth on the coating surface. Maintain normal cleaning protocols.
What’s the right thickness for forklifts?
Typically 2–4 mm self‑leveling epoxy for aisles; use 6–9+ mm epoxy mortar or PU‑concrete near dock plates and impact points.
Do we need ESD for all factories?
Only if static can damage components or ignite vapors/powders. Electronics and cleanrooms commonly require dissipative or conductive systems.
