Ideal for industries such as automotive, electronics, food and beverage, and warehousing, Sika floors offer long term protection, easy maintenance, and a professional finish in a range of textures and colours.

Tailored Solutions for Demanding Industrial Environments

DRY AND WET AREAS

Most production areas can be divided into ‘dry’ or ‘wet’ processing areas. Flooring systems in ‘wet’ process areas generally require a higher degree of slip-resistance, which must also be easily cleaned, and yet be resistant to the water and any chemical exposure. In the production areas of the food and beverage industries in particular, a clean floor is obviously of crucial importance to facilitate the necessary hygienic working environment. ‘Dry’ processing areas also often require a balance or compromise to be made between ease of cleaning and slip resistance to meet the requirements for efficiency and hygiene, plus health and safety.

AREAS WITH EXTREME EXPOSURE (COMBINATIONS OF WET CONDITIONS, CHEMICALS, TEMPERATURES AND ABRASION)

Sika has a complete range of flooring solutions for industrial facilities that are required to be durable under extreme exposures and conditions of use. These conditions can vary from severe chemical attack with thermal shock exposure in the food industry, to high point loading and abrasion in the automotive industry.

Sika's flooring solutions will perform under the most demanding service environments and can meet all of these and many other different individual exposure requirements with design flexibility. This includes a full range of non-slip / anti-skid profiles.

MINIMUM DOWNTIME FOR PRODUCTION

Each day or even each hour of downtime in production can be very expensive in both new construction and in refurbishment projects. It is always therefore essential to finish all of the flooring work within the shortest possible time, but still ensuring the required performance and durability. Using the fast curing Sikafloor® Pronto systems for floor maintenance and refurbishment projects can reduce down time to a minimum. Sikafloor® systems can also be designed to withstand all of the other requirements and conditions with various degrees of slip resistance and surfaces that are easy to clean.

FAQ

What are industrial floor coatings and where are they used?

Industrial floor coatings are high-performance flooring systems made of materials like cement, epoxy and resin that are used in areas exposed to mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses. Common application areas include warehouses, food and beverage production facilities and manufacturing facilities.

How do I choose a coating for dry vs wet industrial areas?

For dry areas, such as packaging or assembly lines, coatings should offer seamless, dust-free and easy-to-clean surfaces. The system used here should have high abrasion resistance and good mechanical durability to withstand heavy traffic and equipment use.

In wet areas, like food processing zones, wash bays, or chemical handling sections, floor coatings must provide enhanced slip resistance, strong chemical resistance and hygienic, non-porous surfaces. These features help ensure safety, prevent contamination, and support frequent, intensive cleaning.

 

Can fast-curing coatings help minimise production downtime?

Yes. Floor coatings such as Sikafloor®-2640 or Sikafloor®-2650 are formulated for rapid curing to reduce disruption during installation.

Are Sika’s industrial floor coatings hygienic and easy to maintain?

Yes. Sika’s flooring systems are seamless, minimise dust accumulation, are easy to clean and suitable for areas requiring strict hygiene standards like food and beverage production environments.
