The Benefits of Polyaspartic Warehouse Floor Coatings in Hartford
Long-Term Protection for Concrete Floors
Business owners use warehouses as storage facilities for fast-moving merchandise, which usually arrives in pallets stacked several feet off the ground. Warehouses experience heavy foot and vehicle traffic from personnel, equipment, and production machinery that could lead to long-term damage to their concrete floors without protection.
Concrete is naturally porous, with billions of holes that could trap corrosive chemicals, mold spores, and moisture, leading to depressions and structural challenges that might require thousands of dollars to remediate. Polyaspartic coatings create a protective layer that closes these holes, making floors more resistant to wear and tear.
A Customizable Solution that Fits Operational Goals
Global Garage Flooring and Design provides high-quality polyaspartic coatings for warehouses containing finished and semi-finished products, raw materials, and processing equipment. We can tailor our protectants and installation schedules to fit your operational needs. Whether you run a cold storage chamber, depot, basement warehouse, or open-air storage facility, a polyaspartic coating can serve you well.
We extend the lifespan of industrial concrete floors for decades by protecting them from the following:
- Spalling from weather changes and moisture damage
- Cracking from seismic activities and heavy foot traffic
- Chipping from contact with heavy equipment
- Discoloration from exposure to direct sunlight and chemicals
- Musty odors from mold formations
- And more
Polyaspartic is a non-combustible product that can improve the safety of your warehouse when storing organic peroxides, compressed gasses, and other water-reactive substances. It also prevents the formation of microbe colonies, which benefits facilities storing perishables, medical supplies, and other items that must comply with safety standards. Polyaspartic is also an excellent protectant for general-use warehouses that store planes, construction materials, or transit machinery.
Lower Maintenance Expenses
Polyaspartic warehouse floor coatings prevent chemicals and moisture from penetrating a concrete substrate. Whenever warehouse machinery leaks oil, battery acid, or other corrosive substances onto the floor, maintenance personnel can mop or wipe them off without issue.
Wheel marks on loading bays from trucks, forklifts, and other in-house mechanized transport will also be a thing of the past. Transit warehouses for regional and central product distribution love polyaspartic coatings as they help personnel work without worrying about impact damage or causing chips and scuffs on floors that turn into tripping hazards.
Why Choose Polyaspartic Warehouse Floor Coatings Over Competing Solutions?
Polyaspartic Coatings vs. Epoxy Floors
Our polyaspartic solutions compete with two other products warehouse managers use, namely epoxy and urea-based coatings. Epoxy is a resinous coating famous for its cost-efficiency, as it is the cheapest floor protectant on the market. However, it has long curing times that can last up to seven days in enclosed spaces and leaves a high-gloss finish with low resistance against stains and abrasions from heavy equipment.
Epoxy floors are not UV-stable and will begin to yellow after a few months in direct sunlight, making them unsuitable for open-air applications. Epoxy works best as a protectant for shaded spaces that do not accommodate heavy vehicles and foot traffic, such as mechanized basement warehouses and management areas.
Polyaspartic Coatings vs. Polyurea
Polyaspartic is an evolution of polyurea-based coatings, and chemists and material scientists call it aliphatic polyurea. Covestro modified the original polyurea blueprint from Bayer MaterialScience to generate more tensile strength and resistance against UV damage. While all polyaspartic coatings are technically urea-based and might suffer from the drawbacks of their parent chemical, 100% aliphatic coatings have altered properties for warehouse applications.
Unlike polyurea, polyaspartic coatings will not:
- Yellow after years of exposure to direct sunlight through windows and vents.
- Discolor after a few winters and summers outdoors.
- React to impact damage from poor adhesion to a concrete substrate.
- React to radiation, which breaks molecular bonds in urea-based solutions.
Why Work with Flooring Professionals?
Requesting untrained employees or contractors to apply a non-volatile chemical to your warehouse floors might be tempting, but it comes with various risks that can lead to long-term damage. Clients hire flooring professionals for three reasons.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
Professionals use diamond grinders and shot blasters to prime floors for coating installation.
