Chemical Resistant Flooring

BECOSAN® is a proven, cost-effective, and certified solution for the chemical sector, designed to meet the highest industry standards.

Chemical resistant floors

Why the chemical industry needs specialised flooring

Chemical manufacturing flooring must withstand aggressive conditions. From volatile substances to strict hygiene standards, every detail matters. Choosing the right flooring system reduces the risk of accidents and contamination while extending the life of your facility.

At BECOSAN®, we specialise in industrial chemical resistant flooring that’s hygienic, durable, and compliant with UK and European standards.

Installation process

BECOSAN® chemical resistant flooring

At BECOSAN®, we follow a four-step process designed to deliver chemical resistant flooring that meets the demands of the chemical industry: durable, safe, and easy to maintain. Our method allows us to treat over 1,000 m² per day, minimising downtime and ensuring a clean, high-performance result.

Surface preparation

We begin by mechanically grinding the existing concrete surface using industrial equipment with integrated dust extraction systems. This step removes old coatings or residues, levels out the slab, and opens the concrete pores to ensure full absorption of the upcoming treatments. In chemical manufacturing flooring, a clean and dust-free preparation is essential to meet hygiene and safety requirements.

Step Floor Micro Roughness

Deep densification

Once prepared, we apply the BECOSAN® lithium-based densifier. This solution penetrates the concrete and reacts with its components to internally harden the structure. The densification process enhances mechanical durability and improves chemical resistance, protecting the floor against cleaning agents, diluted acids, and occasional chemical spills. It is a key step for achieving a stable and long-lasting industrial chemical resistant flooring system.

Technical polishing

Following densification, the surface is polished using diamond abrasives to refine the texture and improve functionality. This creates a joint-free, seamless surface that is easier to clean and resistant to wear. In the chemical industry, where spillage, residues and heavy traffic are common, a smooth and closed surface improves both hygiene and safety.

Sealing and final finishing

In the final step, we apply the BECOSAN® sealant to close the concrete’s microstructure and protect the surface against dust and liquid penetration. A final polishing stage follows, which defines the floor’s final finish and ensures optimal performance. The result is a dust-proof, acid resistant flooring system that is easy to maintain and ready for normal use within 24 to 48 hours.

Essential flooring characteristics for the chemical sector

Full regulatory compliance

Chemical industry floors must meet complex legal and health regulations. Our chemical flooring systems are tested and certified to comply with all relevant standards.

Hygienic and easy to maintain

Acid proof flooring must be non-porous, dust-free and inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould, or fungi. Our seamless concrete finish makes deep cleaning and sterilisation simple and effective.

Long-term durability

Constant exposure to mechanical wear and aggressive chemicals demands a long-lasting solution. Our acid resistant flooring is built to endure heavy use while remaining easy to clean and maintain.

Mechanical resistance

Forklifts, pallets, metal drums and frequent movement all put pressure on industrial floors. BECOSAN® chemical resistant floors are engineered to resist impacts, abrasion, and weight loads.

Slip resistance

Safety is paramount in the chemical sector. Our flooring systems feature tested non-slip finishes to minimise the risk of workplace accidents.

Chemical resistance

Floors must resist chemical attacks from solvents, acids, and corrosive agents. Our chemical resistant flooring for laboratory and production areas maintains its integrity even under aggressive exposure.

Certified performance for demanding environments

Our polished concrete flooring system meets all technical and regulatory requirements for use in chemical manufacturing and petrochemical facilities.

BECOSAN® provides a certified acid proof flooring solution suitable for standard chemical industry environments, where occasional spills, cleaning agents, or mild corrosive substances may be present. The system has been tested for slip resistance and abrasion, ensuring long-term durability and compliance with health and safety regulations across chemical manufacturing flooring applications.

Common issues with chemical manufacturing flooring

Chemical spills and acid leaks

Unintended spills of corrosive substances are a daily risk. BECOSAN® floors are designed to withstand such incidents without structural damage.

Frequent and intensive cleaning

Hygiene protocols require thorough, often steam-based cleaning. Our chemical flooring remains intact and easy to sanitise.

Heavy loads and impacts

From forklifts to falling containers, the floor must remain resilient under heavy-duty conditions.

FAQ

FAQs About chemical resistant floors

While both systems are designed to protect industrial floors, BECOSAN® polished concrete offers significant advantages over epoxy:

  • It doesn’t peel or bubble.
  • It’s low maintenance and doesn’t require recoating.

••It’s more cost-effective over time, especially in high-traffic areas.
This makes it a smart alternative for facilities with moderate chemical exposure.

Yes. Our system allows for continuous operations in many cases. We typically treat over 1,000 m² per day, using machines that generate minimal dust and disruption. We can also plan the work in phases to avoid shutdowns.

It depends on the floor’s condition and the size of the surface, but we usually cover 1,000 m² or more per day. After an initial assessment, we provide a tailored timeline based on your facility’s needs.

Yes, provided that the chemical exposure is within standard industrial levels. Our floors are ideal for clean and dry environments such as R&D labs, technical rooms, and production areas with moderate chemical risk. For highly aggressive chemicals, we can advise on additional surface protections.

BECOSAN® floors offer high resistance to most common industrial chemicals. They are not designed for constant immersion in aggressive substances, but they perform excellently under occasional spills or splashes of solvents, acids or cleaning agents—especially when cleaned promptly.

Minimal. The surface is densified, sealed and dust-proof, which reduces cleaning efforts. Regular sweeping and damp mopping are usually sufficient. In sensitive areas, steam or machine scrubbing may be used without damaging the surface.

Yes. Safety is a priority in chemical environments. Our flooring meets international slip-resistance standards, even under wet conditions. The finish can be adapted to your safety requirements.

We offer a 10-year dust-proof guarantee on all BECOSAN® treatments. This means the floor will maintain its anti-dust and densified surface properties, provided basic maintenance is followed. The guarantee does not cover chemical burns or mechanical damage caused by misuse.
