Industrial Floor Renovation at Acme Manufacturing

Cem-Kote Flex Floor was used to rehabilitate 4,200 m² of heavily worn industrial flooring in a packaging plant, restoring chemical resistance and forklift traffic durability over a single weekend shutdown.

Article overview

Acme Manufacturing required a fast-turnaround floor refurbishment for the main packaging hall, where the original epoxy coating had failed after 12 years of forklift wear and intermittent caustic spillage. Total downtime had to fit within a 48-hour weekend shutdown.

After shot-blasting the substrate to a CSP-3 profile, two layers of Cem-Kote Flex Floor were applied at a combined thickness of 4 mm, with a non-slip quartz broadcast keyed into the second coat. The cementitious matrix offered immediate alkali resistance and reached forklift-ready strength within 18 hours of final application.

The customer resumed full three-shift production on Monday morning. Follow-up inspections at 6 and 12 months show no surface degradation, delamination, or staining from cleaning chemicals.
