TMI Coatings recently installed cementitious urethane flooring at a fully automated, state-of-the-art frozen vegetable processing facility in Minnesota.

The existing epoxy flooring in the plant was peeling and flaking.  The Operations Manager said that he didn’t think the epoxy flooring was the right material for the environment.  They have cementitious urethane flooring in other areas of the plant and it was working well. Cementitious urethane flooring is commonly used in areas exposed to high temperatures. Additional benefits of this type of flooring include easy maintenance and superior chemical resistance.

To prepare the floor, we used hand-held grinders with vacuum attachments and vacuum steel shotblasted the floor.  After the floor was prepared, the crew installed a 45-degree cant at the floor/wall juncture around the perimeter of the room, followed by the cementitious urethane flooring system at approximately ¼” thickness.  This heavy-duty industrial floor topping is trowel applied and is resistant to impact, heat and thermal shock.  Call TMI today to provide a competitive quote to refurbish your plant floor.
