Our Chemical-Resistant Industrial Floorings are designed for use in environments where harsh chemicals are stored and/or used. This type of flooring can withstand exposure to such chemicals while paint and inferior coatings would incur damage.
At Elgood Industrial Flooring, our range of Epoxy-based industrial floor coatings has excellent general chemical resistance. Furthermore, we are also able to source products that are suitable for more extreme conditions.
Typical applications of Chemical-Resistant Industrial Flooring include chemical processing areas, plant rooms, bunds and chemical storage.
