Urethane Cement - Thermal Shock Systems

If rooms in your ware­house, pro­cess­ing plant, or man­u­fac­tur­ing facil­i­ty are nor­mal­ly kept at cool or mod­er­ate tem­per­a­tures, clean­ing those rooms with hot water or steam will cause ther­mal shock.

Why You Need Ure­thane Shock Systems

Con­se­quences of Ther­mal Shock

Ther­mal shock brings con­se­quences that cause exten­sive dam­age to indus­tri­al floors. Your epoxy coat­ings being plas­tic will expand and con­tract much faster than the con­crete they are stuck to in response to the sud­den and sig­nif­i­cant tem­per­a­ture changes caused by high-tem­per­a­ture water or steam clean­ing. When that hap­pens, your floor­ing will be dam­aged by:

• Crack­ing

• Delam­i­na­tion

If you’ve noticed any of this floor­ing dam­age after indus­tri­al clean­ing ser­vices, ure­thane cement sys­tems will bet­ter pro­tect your floor­ing and pre­vent down­time, slip­page, and oth­er hazards.

Indus­tries That Ben­e­fit from Ther­mal Shock Systems

While many indus­tries ben­e­fit from ther­mal shock ure­thane cement sys­tems, our clients in food ser­vice, food pro­cess­ing, brew­ery, dis­tillery, and agri­cul­tur­al facil­i­ties have been par­tic­u­lar­ly impressed with our results. 

Improp­er floor selec­tion using epoxy coat­ings in a ther­mal shock envi­ron­ment will mean cost­ly repairs, health and safe­ty haz­ards, low­ered pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, and failed inspec­tions. Don’t risk it. Hire the indus­tri­al floor­ing com­pa­ny trust­ed across New England.
