Resinous Flooring Types
Resinous flooring types are seamless flooring systems made from polymer resins, such as epoxy, urethane, and MMA, each engineered to deliver specific performance characteristics for different facility environments.
These systems vary in properties such as chemical resistance, durability, thermal shock tolerance, and installation speed. The flooring types below provide an overview of Stonahrd's primary resin technologies and link to detailed product pages to help you identify the right system for your facility.
Your Stonhard floors will be formulated to meet the specific design and performance requirements of your facility.
Resin Flooring System Comparison
| Flooring Type | Key Benefits | Typical Environments |
| Epoxy | Durable, chemical resistant | Manufacturing, warehouses |
| Urethane | Thermal shock-resistant | Food & beverage plants |
| MMA | Fast-curing installation | Cold storage, renovations |
| ESD | Controls static electricity, protects sensitive equipment | Electronics manufacturing, labs, data centers |
| Vinyl Ester | Chemical resistance to aggressive acids and corrosives | Chemical processing, containment areas, industrial plants |
| Polyester | Corrosion resistant for moderate chemical exposure | Secondary containment, utility areas, light industrial environments |
| Novolac Epoxy | Highly cross-linked protection offering enhanced chemical and heat resistance | Chemical manufacturing, harsh process areas, spaces with strong chemical exposure |
How to Choose the Right Flooring System
Selecting the right resinous flooring system depends on the specific conditions within your facility. Key factors that influence selection include:
- Chemical exposure
- Temperature fluctuations
- Traffic levels and impact
- Sanitation requirements
- Installation timelines or shutdown windows
Stonhard experts can help evaluate your facility's conditions and recommend the most appropriate flooring system for your application.
FAQs
Got questions? We've got answers. This FAQ section covers the most common inquiries about abrasion-resistant flooring to help you make informed decisions.
Resinous flooring refers to seamless flooring systems created by combining polymer resins with aggregates or additives to create durable, chemical-resistant surfaces.
