Why Epoxy Resin Is A Great Choice for Floors



Finding a suitable solution for your business’s floors can be a difficult decision. Factors such as the cost, and how long it will take for the floor to be installed all affect the choice. Epoxy resin flooring and resin flooring can be a great solution, based on its safety, durability, longevity, and a lot more. 

Firstly, to help determine which flooring is best for you need to consider a few things:

1.     Do you need your surface to withstand heavy vehicles?
2.     Will there be lots of people standing on it at a time?
3.     Does it need to be exposed to extreme temperatures?
4.     Will it need to be slip, moisture or chemical resistant?
5.     Do you need it to meet a certain standard?

Unfortunately, to cut the cost, lots of businesses opt for a type of flooring that doesn’t fully support their requirements. This can result in hazards for everyone who enters the building, and would need repairs. This damage could be severe, and could even mean new flooring would be needed entirely. A new flooring can cause a long stoppage of the business – so it’s best to get it right first time.

Epoxy resin flooring/epoxy flooring are used across industries including food manufacturing, hospitality and restaurants, distributing centres and warehouses, schools and education, hospitals, and retailers. It is so popular amongst these industries because of the certain features that affect its performance.

Stain Resistant

This makes the flooring easy to clean, ensuring your business is always meeting hygiene standards as well as looking the part. Having stain-proof flooring can save you money that you would be spending on repairing stained surfaces. Resin flooring is also scratch resistant. 

High Durability

Epoxy flooring and resin flooring are more durable and stronger than any other alternatives, even concrete. Their life cycle is longer, and maintenance cheaper. The flooring can be repaired or replaced without removing existing flooring. 

High Impact Resistance

Heavy Duty epoxy resin flooring can provide the strength that a high-traffic surface would need. It can withstand heavy usage and high pressure. Concrete flooring cannot always handle this, with severe abrasion and high impact, it can become damaged. This can result in costly, and timely repairs. 

Moisture Resistance

With concrete, moisture and air seeping up from the ground is a common problem. This can cause delamination and blisters to appear on the surface. Resin flooring is an alternative which doesn’t have this issue.

Possible Fast Installation

To avoid long periods of down time within a business, there is an option to use a fast curing epoxy. This can be applied within 24 hours, drastically reducing installation time and getting the business back up and running as soon as possible.

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...

The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses. An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building. Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is als...

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly.  Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the ...
