Common Industrial Flooring Challenges

Industrial and commercial floors face relentless abuse. Traditional concrete is prone to dusting, cracking, and staining, creating maintenance headaches and potential contamination. Specific pain points include:

• Chemical Damage: Spills from cleaners, sterilants, oils, and solvents can etch and degrade ordinary floors.

• Mechanical Wear: Heavy forklift traffic, dropped tools, and rolling loads cause cracking, chipping, and abrasion.

• Hygiene & Cleanliness: Porous surfaces harbor bacteria, mold, and dust, making them unsuitable for sterile environments like labs or food plants.

• Safety Hazards: Slippery or uneven surfaces increase the risk of employee accidents.

• Aesthetic Deterioration: Floors quickly look worn, stained, and unprofessional, impacting the overall impression of a facility.

The ResuShield Deco Quartz One Solution

This system is specifically formulated to address these challenges head-on. Here are its core features:

• Superior Mechanical Performance: With a compressive strength exceeding 12,000 psi and high impact resistance, it withstands heavy loads and abuse without cracking or delamination.

• Exceptional Chemical Resistance: Tested against a broad range of sterilants, disinfectants, and common industrial chemicals (e.g., bleach, acids, degreasers) with no change, ensuring long-term integrity.

• Hygienic & Easy to Clean: The seamless, non-porous surface prevents microbial growth and allows for quick cleanup of spills, meeting strict sanitation standards.

• Safety-First Design: Available with slip-resistant finishes to reduce accident risk in wet or busy areas.

• Decorative Durability: A wide selection of colored quartz blends allows for custom designs that are also highly abrasion-resistant, maintaining their look under foot traffic.

Technical Specifications & Data

The performance of ResuShield Deco Quartz One is backed by measurable data conforming to recognized standards.

Ideal Applications

This versatile system is the best choice for environments where performance and appearance intersect.

• Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology: Cleanrooms, labs, production areas requiring chemical resistance and sterile conditions.

• Food & Beverage Processing: Withstands frequent cleaning, chemicals, and thermal shock.

• Commercial & Institutional: High-traffic lobbies, hospitals, schools, restrooms, and change rooms needing a durable, attractive finish.

• Industrial & Warehousing: Production floors, assembly areas, and warehouses subject to heavy wheeled traffic and impact.

• Animal Facilities: Vivariums and holding areas requiring seamless, chemical-resistant, and easy-to-sanitize surfaces.

Professional Installation Process

A proper installation is critical for system performance. Our certified contractors follow a meticulous process:

1. Surface Preparation: Concrete is abrasive blasted to a CSP 4-6 profile to ensure perfect adhesion.

2. Moisture Testing: Substrates are tested to meet strict moisture vapor emission rates.

3. Primer & Basecoat Application: A high-strength epoxy primer and basecoat are applied.

4. Quartz Broadcast: Decorative quartz aggregate is broadcast evenly into the wet basecoat, then repeated for a dense, uniform layer.

5. Grouting & Sealing: Excess aggregate is removed, and a clear grout coat is applied to fill voids, followed by a high-performance topcoat sealer for protection and gloss.

6. Curing & Protection: The floor is protected from traffic until fully cured as per manufacturer guidelines.
