TMI Coatings Blog

TMI Coatings recently contracted with an energy company in Illinois to line a sulfuric acid containment area.  The existing concrete was mushy and severely deteriorated from years of chemical saturation.  TMI’s crew began by removing the existing coating and soft concrete.  All surfaces were neutralized, abraded and restored prior to application of the new floor topping.  TMI applied a cementitious urethane floor topping to the interior of the containment dike.  This low odor, 100% solids cementitious urethane topping is trowel applied and designed to protect the concrete from chemical attacks, corrosion, impact and thermal shock.  Repeated exposure to hot oil and steam will not cause pitting, cracking or crazing.  Cementitious urethane toppings are seamless, durable and suitable for industrial use.  Flooring can be non-skid for slip-resistance for safety.
