Routine maintenance of industrial flooring

Prima Pavimenti stands out as a specialist partner in the ongoing maintenance of flooring for leading steel processing industries, working with a major multinational in the Aosta Valley and other companies in Northern Italy. Our extensive experience in the steel industry means that we can fully understand the specific challenges of these production environments.

The critical needs of the steel industry

The steel industry imposes extremely stringent performance requirements on industrial flooring, which necessitate advanced technological solutions:

High temperature resistance

The flooring must withstand extreme temperature changes, from normal operating temperatures to peaks generated by steel melting and rolling processes.

Chemical resistance

Continued exposure to acids, pickling solutions, cutting oils, and other aggressive chemicals requires coatings with high chemical inertia.

Mechanical resistance

The transit of heavy loads, the impact of metallic materials, and constant abrasion require flooring with extremely high mechanical strength and wear resistance.

Safety and Anti-Slip

The presence of oils, coolant, and condensation requires surfaces with certified anti-slip properties to ensure operator safety.

Easy cleaning

Smooth, easily sanitised surfaces are required for the rapid removal of metal residues and contaminants, as well as for maintaining hygiene and sanitary standards.

Flooring restoration for specialised areas

Testing and quality control laboratories

Metallurgical testing laboratories require flooring that guarantees dimensional stability for precision equipment, resistance to chemical reagents used in analyses, antistatic properties to protect sensitive electronic instruments, and ease of deep cleaning to prevent cross-contamination.

CNC machines and precision equipment areas

Areas dedicated to CNC machine tools have specific requirements, such as vibration absorption to ensure working precision, resistance to cutting oils and coolants, ease of maintenance for quick access to hydraulic systems, and resistance to wear from abrasive metal chips.

Superior technical features for the steel industry

Laser Screed industrial flooring

We design and build Laser Screed industrial floors: a solid, perfectly flat, resistant, and durable base.

Multi-layer epoxy systems

Mapei Mapefloor Sys 32 allows for the creation of industrial flooring with high chemical resistance, impermeable to oils and aggressive agents, resistant to frequent washing, wear and tear, and heavy traffic from trolleys and moving vehicles. It has a marked anti-slip effect.

Polyurethane cement-mortar

Mapei Mapefloor CPU+/RT is a high-performance polyurethane-cement mortar for thicknesses between 6 and 9 mm, designed to meet the stringent requirements of the steel industry. This three-component system represents the most advanced technological evolution for industrial flooring subjected to extreme stresses and has become the most sought-after solution in heavy industry.

Operational advantages of our resin solutions

Multi-layer epoxy resin systems guarantee a perfectly flat surface, which is essential for the correct positioning of precision equipment and for the safe transit of heavy vehicles. Long-lasting wear resistance maintains performance characteristics even under the abrasive action of sparks and metal shavings. Rapid application and optimised curing times allow for scheduled interventions during maintenance shutdowns or in limited areas while work continues, minimising the impact on production cycles and reducing plant downtime costs.

The polyurethane-cementitious nature, on the other hand, gives the system unique properties that make it ideal for steelworks environments. Its exceptional chemical resistance provides effective protection against the aggressive effects of pickling acids, alkalis, industrial oils, and solvents used in steel processing. Its superior mechanical resistance guarantees stability under the heavy loads of rolling machinery and the transit of metallic materials, while its resistance to thermal shocks up to +80°C allows it to withstand the temperature fluctuations typical of steelworks.
