Resin flooring for chemical industries
Chemical industries operate in contexts characterized by continuous stresses and complex environmental conditions, where floors are daily exposed to aggressive chemical agents, frequent washings, high mechanical loads, and stringent requirements in terms of safety and hygiene. In these environments, flooring is an integral part of the production process and the safety management system. Starting from the analysis of the actual usage conditions, RPM Italy creates resin flooring for chemical industries based on the different operational spaces. With differentiated design for production areas, service rooms, and public spaces, resin systems ensure resistance, durability, and performance consistent with the specific needs of the chemical industry.
The needs of the chemical industries and resin solutions
Complex operational contexts, aggressive substances, strict safety procedures. RPM Italy addresses the needs of the chemical industries with resin solutions designed to meet specific requirements and ensure safety and operational continuity over time.
Custom resin floors for every operational area with RPM Italy
Each resin flooring is custom-designed based on the characteristics of the area and the expected stresses. Thicknesses, application cycles, and surface finishes are differentiated by RPM Italy according to the specific use. This customization allows for the functional organization of spaces, supporting operational flows and contributing to a more efficient management of chemical environments.
Request a consultation for your chemical industry
RPM Italia supports chemical industries with a technical consulting service aimed at understanding the actual operational needs and defining resin solutions that are consistent with production processes. Collaboration with designers, production managers, and quality figures allows for the development of flooring that supports safety, hygiene, and the continuity of activities over time.
The most commonly used resin systems in the chemical industry
The choice of resin systems is based on the operating conditions of the chemical industry, considering factors such as exposure to aggressive substances, mechanical loads, frequency of washings, and operating temperatures. Finishes and thicknesses are adapted by RPM Italia to the specific context to achieve flooring that is consistent with production needs and with the procedures for controlling environments.

How a resin floor is made for chemical companies
Whether it's production areas, customer reception, warehouses, or service rooms, RPM Italia designs resin flooring for chemical companies, differentiating each intervention based on the use of spaces. Starting from the analysis of production phases and workflows, the installation is carefully planned to minimize production downtime and integrate the new flooring into the company's operational cycle.
Preliminary analysis of the environment
Every project starts with a technical inspection during which the existing support, environmental conditions, and the usage methods of the floor are analyzed to identify the most suitable resin system and to prevent future issues.
1)
Preparation of the substrate
Targeted mechanical processing, such as sanding, grinding, and shot blasting, is carried out to prepare the concrete substrate, or other types, essential to ensure the adhesion of the resin cycle and the durability of the flooring.
2)
Execution of complementary works
Before or during the installation of the resin floor, complementary works are carried out, namely drainage supports, perimeter edges, and skirting boards. These elements help complete the environment and facilitate cleaning and sanitization.
3)
Application of the resin cycle
Based on the required performance, the installation of the resin floor is carried out following specific cycles. We calibrate thicknesses, finishes, and slip resistance to achieve a continuous, safe, and durable surface.
4)
Final inspection and commissioning
Once the hardening cycle is complete, and thus the catalysis of the product, the surface is ready to be used. At the end of the application, the floor is checked in every detail to ensure safety, continuity, and compliance with the project.
5)
Certifications and technical documentation
6)
At the end of the work, RPM Italia provides the client with the technical documentation related to the applied system, including the certifications required for each sector, to support the needs for monitoring and managing the flooring over time.
