Chemical-resistant flooring for plants that punish floors.

System Overview

Chemistry matters more than thickness.

For most warehouse work, thickness drives performance. For manufacturing, chemistry does. A 60-mil standard epoxy will dissolve under aggressive solvents that a 15-mil novolac shrugs off. We spec the resin system first, thickness second.

Novolac Epoxy

High-cross-link epoxy with significantly higher chemical resistance than standard bisphenol-A epoxy. The right pick for any environment with regular exposure to acids, bases, solvents, hydraulic fluids, or fuels. Common in metal finishing, chemical processing, and automotive repair facilities.

Exposure	Standard Epoxy	Novolac Epoxy
Sulfuric acid (30%)	Fails	Resistant
Sodium hydroxide (50%)	Marginal	Resistant
Methylene chloride	Fails	Resistant
Hydraulic fluid (long-term)	Softens	Resistant
Gasoline / diesel	Marginal	Resistant

Secondary Containment Coatings

For chemical storage areas, transfer zones, and battery rooms — high-build coatings (typically 100–250 mil for severe environments) applied with integral cove and continuous seal to function as the secondary containment barrier required by EPA, SPCC, and most local fire codes.

ESD / Static-Dissipative Systems

For electronics manufacturing, powder handling, munitions, and any environment where static discharge is a process or safety risk. Conductive copper grounding grid embedded under a dissipative topcoat targeted at 10⁶–10⁹ ohms surface resistance per ANSI/ESD S20.20.

Trench, Sump & Pit Detailing

Continuous coating into and through floor drains, pits, and trenches with no termination joint inside the wet zone. This is where most cheap-bid jobs cut corners and where the failures start.
