Floor Coatings for General Manufacturing Facilities

Epoxy can provide a versatile, hard, low-maintenance, and long-lasting product for your manufacturing facility. Crafted from a curative and polyepoxide resin, epoxy's strength comes from the tight chemical bond between these two ingredients. Epoxy can cover an indoor or outdoor floor and is suitable for most hard surfaces. This durable coating stands up to impacts and heavy traffic and lasts for years.

Tough, versatile, and beautiful, urethane is also noted for its exceptional strength and abrasion resistance. Polyurethane provides a clear coating, but urethane floor coatings come in pigmented colors, making urethane one of the most beautiful floor coatings on the market. It rarely chips or cracks, but it can be easily repaired. Urethane works particularly well as a floor coating for manufacturing facilities whose floors sustain heavy traffic.

If your factory processes Food & Beverage products, your floors will need to meet several regulations from government agencies, along with CGMP requirements. You'll want to consider sanitation, safety, durability, and aesthetics when choosing your floor covering. Generally speaking, both epoxy and urethane coatings meet these requirements, as they withstand high temperatures and constant moisture while preventing cracks that could harbor bacteria.

Floor striping for 5S organization supports the principles of Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain (sometimes companies add another S for Safety). The striping makes workflows instantly clear to anyone on the floor. Unlike colored tape, which frays, loosens, and creates hazards, professionally applied striping maintains a clean, safe appearance while guiding movement, marking hazards, and communicating process flow. In warehouses, it helps keep traffic organized, reinforces safety, and supports overall operational efficiency.

Floor joint and crack filling protects concrete floors from the damage and risks caused by natural settling, which can create openings for moisture, oils, chemicals, and debris. Left unaddressed, these cracks and joints not only look unsightly but can create safety hazards and contribute to machinery wear. By sealing or filling them (often with specialized materials for chemical or corrosive environments), you preserve the floor’s integrity, safety, and longevity.

Anti-slip flooring is a proactive way to reduce workplace accidents, protecting both people and your bottom line. By incorporating crushed minerals or sand into an epoxy coating, the surface gains extra grip to help prevent slips and falls. Combined with additional safety measures, this durable solution resists cracking and fading while supporting a safer, more compliant work environment.

Electrostatic dissipative (ESD) flooring safely channels static electricity through controlled electrical resistance, reducing the risk of electrical events that may cause damage. This makes ESD flooring both a functional safeguard and a visually appealing choice for static-sensitive environments.

Extreme chemical-resistant floor coatings protect against the staining, erosion, and deterioration caused by corrosive chemical spills. Made with specially formulated epoxy, they shield the underlying surface while still offering attractive design options that don’t sacrifice aesthetics. When properly installed, these coatings provide long-lasting protection, making them essential for facilities handling harsh or abrasive substances.
