Polyurethane Flooring: The Optimal Solution for Industrial and Commercial Spaces

When selecting a flooring solution for industrial and commercial settings, durability, resilience, and high performance are critical factors. Polyurethane flooring, especially the POLYHARD SL system from The Concrete Protector, is designed to meet these rigorous demands. Engineered to endure extreme conditions such as thermal shock, chemical exposure, and heavy impacts, this self-leveling slurry offers a superior solution for environments that require robust and resilient flooring.

Why Choose Polyurethane Flooring?

Polyurethane flooring is widely recognized for its exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and flexibility. It outperforms many other flooring options by withstanding heavy traffic, extreme temperatures, and exposure to harsh chemicals without compromising its structural integrity. As a result, polyurethane flooring is ideal for industrial spaces, commercial facilities, and any environment where floors need to endure significant wear and tear.

Key Benefits of Polyurethane Flooring

Unmatched Durability: Polyurethane flooring is built to handle heavy foot traffic, machinery, and industrial equipment, making it an ideal solution for high-traffic environments where durability is essential.
Chemical Resistance: Polyurethane flooring resists chemicals, oils, and solvents, preventing damage from spills and chemical exposure, which extends the life of the flooring in industrial settings.
Thermal Shock Resistance: This flooring can endure extreme temperature shifts, making it perfect for environments like cold storage or areas exposed to ovens and freezers.
Moisture Tolerance: Polyurethane’s high moisture resistance helps prevent issues such as blistering or delamination, making it a strong choice for areas exposed to water and humidity.
Low Odor & Solvent-Free: The POLYHARD SL system is low odor and solvent-free, ensuring minimal disruption during installation, making it safer for occupied spaces.
Ease of Installation: The self-leveling properties of polyurethane allow for quick and even installation, reducing labor time and ensuring a smooth, seamless surface.
Customizable Thickness: With options ranging from a 1/8” neat system to a 3/16” system with a media broadcast, you can tailor the thickness of the flooring to meet your specific needs.
USDA Compliance: For food and beverage processing facilities, POLYHARD SL complies with USDA standards, making it a top choice for safe and hygienic environments.

Automotive & Aerospace Industries: Exposure to oils, solvents, and chemicals is common in these industries, and POLYHARD SL provides the needed chemical resistance and durability.
Cold Storage Facilities: With its superior resistance to thermal shock, POLYHARD SL is a reliable choice for cold storage areas that experience rapid temperature changes.

Installation & Maintenance of POLYHARD SL

POLYHARD SL is designed for quick, easy installation, thanks to its self-leveling properties. This minimizes labor costs and installation time while providing a smooth, even surface that’s durable and attractive.

Installation Process:

Surface Preparation: Proper preparation ensures a successful installation. This includes cleaning the substrate, repairing any cracks or imperfections, and ensuring the surface is dry and contaminant-free.
Mixing & Application: The POLYHARD SL slurry is mixed and poured onto the prepared surface, where it naturally levels itself, filling in any surface irregularities.
Optional Broadcast & Topcoats: For additional texture and protection, broadcast media like colored quartz or flakes can be added to the slurry, followed by a topcoat for enhanced chemical resistance and aesthetics.
Curing: After application, the flooring system requires 24 to 48 hours to cure, depending on thickness and temperature.

Maintenance

Maintaining POLYHARD SL flooring is simple. Regular sweeping and mopping with mild cleaners are usually sufficient to keep the surface clean and free from debris. In areas exposed to chemicals or oils, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent buildup and maintain the floor’s appearance.
