GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL FLOORING MARKET SEGMENT ANALYSIS:

• By Material, epoxy is one of the most rapidly developing segments.

Epoxy flooring is commonly employed in today's industrial applications because of its numerous properties. The epoxy is applied as a protective and ornamental coating to a concrete base. Epoxy flooring is more durable and stronger than other flooring solutions. It is utilized in a variety of commercial applications because of its versatility, making epoxy flooring the finest option for enterprises. Epoxy flooring is commonly utilized in heavy-duty industries, warehouses, logistics firms, heavy-duty manufacturing, pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises, restaurants, and commercial kitchens. Industrial epoxy flooring can endure a wide range of usage, including forklifts, large vehicles, and hot and cold chemical spills.

Epoxy flooring is repellant, anti-corrosive, and waterproof (ideal for humid and moisture-prone sectors).
Epoxy is an electrical insulator due to its resin composition. Epoxy flooring is chemical and stain resistant (it is more suited to pharmaceutical, food processing companies, chemical manufacturing plants, laboratories, and the textile sector). Adding to this, epoxy delivers a glossy and colorful finish that meets the design requirements and creates an enhanced mood.

Furthermore, one such product offered by Sika is Sikafloor-291. Sikafloor®-291 is a three-part fine textured self-smoothing underlayment and leveling screed. The product must be stored in its original, unopened, and undamaged sealed packing in dry circumstances at temperatures ranging from +5 °C to +35 °C.
