In the heart of Shanghai's bustling food manufacturing sector, a client presented Forintech with an exceptionally demanding challenge. Their production facility faced a unique combination of extreme environmental conditions, requiring a flooring solution that could withstand everything from freezing temperatures to harsh chemicals and high heat.
The client's food production environment presented a formidable set of obstacles:
Temperature Extremes: Ambient temperatures ranged from a frigid 0-4°C to a milder 15°C, demanding a floor that could handle thermal fluctuations.
High Water Consumption: Certain areas of the workshop experienced significant water usage, requiring a waterproof and durable surface.
Harsh Disinfection: Frequent floor disinfection with a 200PPM sodium hypochlorite solution led to spills, necessitating chemical resistance.
High Heat Exposure: The base of the stoves reached 150°C, demanding a floor capable of withstanding extreme heat.
Alkaline Cleaning: Areas with heavy oil accumulation required cleaning with a 2-3% sodium hydroxide alkaline solution, demanding strong chemical resistance.
Chemical Reagents: The facility handled strong chemicals, including sodium hydroxide (>96%), sulfuric acid (95-98%), and hydrochloric acid (36-38%).
Safety Requirements: An anti-slip surface was essential to ensure worker safety.
Forintech rose to the challenge by implementing a 2mm polyurethane mortar system with an ultra-wear-resistant coating. This solution provided:
Exceptional Chemical Resistance: The polyurethane mortar effectively resisted the harsh chemicals used in the facility.
Thermal Stability: The floor system withstood the extreme temperature variations without degradation.
Durability and Waterproofing: The robust mortar system provided a long-lasting, waterproof surface.
Anti-Slip Properties: The ultra-wear-resistant coating ensured a safe working environment.
Heat Resistance: The flooring system was able to withstand the 150°C heat from the stove bases.
The implementation of Forintech's polyurethane mortar system provided the Shanghai food manufacturer with a durable, safe, and reliable flooring solution that met all their demanding requirements. The client was able to maintain optimal production efficiency and safety, even in the face of extreme environmental conditions.
This project exemplifies Forintech's commitment to providing tailored flooring solutions for the most challenging industrial environments. We understand the unique demands of the food and beverage industry and deliver solutions that prioritize durability, safety, and longevity.
