Product Benefits
Anti-Static
Electro-static discharge (ESD) can pose a threat to sensitive electronic equipment, and in environments that handle volatile gases, powders, liquids or other substances it can even be a potentially dangerous ignition source. This charge can quickly build up within a floor when subjected to regular traffic from people and wheeled equipment.
Antimicrobial
Today’s intense focus on sanitation standards and cleanliness means that hygiene has to be factored into the very fabric of a building.
Corrosion Protection
Damage caused by corrosive materials may not always be visible to the eye, but can lead to structural failure or public safety risks.
Chemical Resistant
Flowcrete South Africa’s chemical resistant coatings can maintain a seamless, high quality finish for an extended period of time despite contact with even the most caustic of solvents, acids and alkalis. Specific sectors can even specify floors tailored to meet the common chemicals used in that industry, for example aircraft hangars can install a surface that won’t be damaged by aviation hydraulic fluid.
Decorative
Choosing a high performance floor doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics for functionality. Flowcrete’s decorative flooring systems combine contemporary style with world-class quality to provide seamless surfaces that can maintain a visual impact despite intense working conditions.
Fast Cure
The long downtime periods and snail’s pace construction schedules caused by waiting for a floor to fully cure can be consigned to the past thanks to the Flowfast range of methyl methacrylate (MMA) enhanced floors.
HACCP International Certified
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a globally recognised Food Safety Program that means food and beverage producers can rest assured their facilities will meet standards for safe procurement, production and processing.
Moisture Tolerant
Moisture can be a problematic flooring factor for several reasons and unless the substrate, application process and the future use of the site are properly analysed it can easily bring on an early floor failure.
Slip Resistant
Slip resistant flooring is a health and safety must-have for most industrial and commercial facilities, as otherwise it’s only a matter of time until a member of staff or customer suffers a painful and costly accident.
Sustainability
Flowcrete South Africa is committed to providing environmentally friendly flooring solutions that have been sustainably sourced, manufactured and distributed. This includes incorporating recycled material into the floors, as well as limiting or completely removing toxic substances such as volatile organic compounds and phthalates.
Thermal Shock Resistant
Thermal shock is a frequent occurrence in industrial facilities and can lead to cracks, bubbling, peeling or delamination. This is especially true within the food and beverage sector, where the floor can face steam cleaning at 250°F, spillages of boiling fats or oils, blasts of air from freezers below -10°F as well as blasts of exceedingly hot air from ovens.
