Choosing the right flooring for mining facilities is a crucial decision that can significantly impact safety, productivity, and maintenance costs. In particular, mining facilities often require chemical coating flooring to withstand the harsh conditions and chemical exposures commonly found in this industry. Robex offers the mining & industrial industry unique flooring solutions of the highest calibre. When deciding on flooring for the mining industry, it’s important to know what to look for.
Durability is paramount when it comes to flooring in mining facilities. These floors must withstand heavy machinery, high-impact activities, and constant foot traffic. Chemical coating flooring should be resilient enough to endure the abrasion and wear and tear inherent in mining operations. Epoxy and polyurethane coatings are popular choices for their excellent durability. Alongside durability, chemical resistance is very important. Mining facilities frequently handle corrosive substances and chemicals, which can eat away at conventional flooring materials. When considering flooring solutions, it’s essential to consider the specific chemicals used in your operation and ensure that the chosen flooring system is highly resistant to them. When working with Robex, our team will conduct a thorough chemical resistance test to ensure compatibility.
Safety is another top priority in the mining industry. The floors should provide sufficient traction to prevent slips and falls, especially in areas prone to spills or moisture. Textured surfaces or slip-resistant additives can enhance safety, even in wet conditions. Flooring should also be fire-resistant and non-combustible, meeting safety codes and regulations. Each mining facility will have unique requirements and challenges. A one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable. As flooring experts, we will discuss your specific needs and tailor a solution to meet your facility’s demands, whether that’s added thickness for extra durability or specialised resistance to certain chemicals.
