Acid & Chemical Resistant Floor Coatings & Linings
We provide acid and chemical resistant flooring, coatings and protective linings across Adelaide and South Australia for commercial and industrial environments where standard flooring systems may not provide enough protection.
From manufacturing and food processing to workshops, wineries and chemical storage areas, we install specialist flooring systems designed to protect concrete surfaces from exposure to acids, chemicals, oils, fuels and aggressive cleaning products.
The right system depends on what your floor is exposed to, how often exposure occurs and how the area is used. We assess these factors before recommending a solution.
Chemical Resistant Flooring for Demanding Environments
Chemical exposure can quickly damage an unsuitable floor. Over time, spills and regular contact with aggressive substances can attack coatings and the concrete beneath them.
We provide chemical resistant flooring and protective coatings for areas including:
- Manufacturing and processing facilities
- Food and beverage production
- Wineries and breweries
- Commercial kitchens
- Automotive and mechanical workshops
- Chemical storage and handling areas
- Laboratories
- Plant and equipment rooms
- Waste and water treatment facilities
- Agricultural processing
- Factories and warehouses
- Bunded and containment areas
Our flooring systems can be specified around the particular conditions within your facility rather than relying on a standard coating for every application.
Acid Resistant Flooring
Areas exposed to acids require careful consideration when selecting a flooring system.
Different acids, concentrations, temperatures and exposure times can affect flooring materials differently. A system suitable for occasional spills may not be appropriate for an area experiencing regular or prolonged chemical exposure.
We consider the type and concentration of chemicals, frequency of exposure, operating temperature, cleaning procedures and existing substrate before recommending an acid resistant flooring or lining system.
Chemical Resistant Epoxy & Resin Flooring
Depending on the application, we can install a range of epoxy, polyurethane and specialist resin flooring systems designed for chemical resistance.
These systems can provide a seamless protective surface over concrete while also offering the durability required for busy industrial environments.
Where required, flooring can also incorporate slip resistance, coving and other details to suit wet areas, processing environments and areas requiring regular cleaning or wash-downs.
Protective Linings for Bunds & Containment Areas
Chemical protection isn’t limited to floors.
We can provide specialist protective linings for bunds, containment areas, walls and other concrete surfaces exposed to chemicals or corrosive substances.
A properly specified lining helps prevent chemicals from attacking the underlying concrete and provides a surface that is easier to inspect, clean and maintain.
Surface Preparation Matters
Even a high-performance chemical resistant coating can fail if the concrete underneath hasn’t been properly prepared.
Before installation, we assess the existing substrate and identify issues such as contamination, moisture, cracks, damaged concrete and previous coatings.
Preparation may include:
- Diamond grinding
- Shot blasting
- Removal of existing coatings
- Concrete repairs
- Crack and joint repairs
- Priming and moisture treatment
This creates the appropriate surface profile for adhesion and helps the new flooring or lining system perform as intended.
Choosing the Right Chemical Resistant System
There isn’t one flooring product that’s suitable for every chemical environment.
Before recommending a system, we look at what the surface needs to withstand, including:
- Acids and alkalis
- Oils and fuels
- Solvents
- Cleaning and sanitising chemicals
- Food and beverage acids
- Heat and temperature changes
- Moisture and wash-downs
- Heavy foot and vehicle traffic
Understanding the actual operating conditions allows us to recommend a flooring system with the right combination of chemical resistance, durability, slip resistance and cleanability.
Why Businesses Choose Poly-Tech
Over 40 Years of South Australian Experience
We’ve been providing commercial and industrial flooring and concrete protection solutions to South Australian businesses for over 40 years.
Commercial & Industrial Specialists
We understand that flooring in a processing plant, winery or chemical handling area needs to do much more than look good. We recommend systems around the practical demands of the facility.
Professional Surface Preparation
Proper concrete preparation is an important part of every installation and helps achieve strong adhesion and long-term performance.
Systems Selected for the Application
We work with a range of leading flooring and protective coating manufacturers, allowing us to recommend a system based on your requirements rather than being limited to a single product.
Acid & Chemical Resistant Flooring Across South Australia
We provide chemical resistant flooring, acid resistant coatings and protective lining systems throughout Adelaide and regional South Australia.
Whether you need to protect a new concrete surface or an existing floor is showing signs of chemical damage, we can assess the area and recommend an appropriate solution.
Talk to Us About Your Chemical Resistant Flooring Requirements
If your floors or concrete surfaces are exposed to acids, chemicals, oils, fuels or aggressive cleaning products, talk to us before deciding on a coating.
We’ll assess how the area is used, what the surface is exposed to and the condition of the existing concrete before recommending a suitable flooring or lining system.
