Large concrete warehouse floors are prone to dust from unsealed surfaces, which can create multiple hazards for the facility, operations, and staff.

A company’s day-to-day operations on bare concrete floors result in a term known as “concrete dusting”, wherein trafficking over the uncoated surface produces a fine powder that gets continually released into the air. It is unavoidable for uncoated floors and can cause costly damage.

In situations the dust can cover, enter and damage important manufacturing equipment. Inhalation of dust can also cause health risks to employees, making it a liability for the company. It is is critical you consider all options available when accessing your warehouse floors.

A number of coating options are available, clear liquids applied to the surface as dust proofers or coloured coatings that provide hard wearing surfaces with high abrasion, impact and good chemical resistance.

Coloured walkways and non-slip areas eg ramps, working stations are also important components when considering coatings for your warehouse floor.
