Meyers Printing, a promotional products printer located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, had a very old and unattractive floor in the production area of their print shop. The vinyl tiles were outdated, worn and ugly. TMI removed the tiles and installed an epoxy floor coating to improve the aesthetics, as well as make floor much easier to clean.

Taking special care to make sure all drains were professionally covered and taped prior to applying the first coat, TMI prepared the flooring surface to ensure the proper adhesion of subsequent floor coatings and applied the TMI CHEM-RESIST flooring system. Wayne Niles, Meyers Supervisor, gave rave reviews and said, “The floor was the most beautiful floor I have ever seen.”

TMI Coatings and CHEM-RESIST Restore a Manufacturing Facility Floor

TMI Coatings recently completed floor restoration for a leading manufacturer of test contactors used for semiconductor production testing. The floors in their machine shop and manufacturing area had large cracks and divots needing repair. The customer wanted to have the floors repaired and coated to create a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing floor for the people working in these areas.

Before awarding the floor job to TMI, the owner visited a TMI customer site. TMI has coated approximately 75,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing areas for a medical device manufacturer over the past five years. The visit provided an excellent sample of the quality of TMI’s floor work.

TMI began preparing the floor with our vacuum steel shotblaster to clean and roughen the floor to create an anchor pattern for maximum adhesion of the new coating. For the areas that were not accessible with the shotblaster, TMI used electric hand-held grinding disks. Robert Eckstein, the owner’s representative, commented that he was amazed at the amount of time and effort that TMI spent preparing the floor, especially around the machines with the hand-held grinders.

Once the floor had been cleaned and roughened, the crew began repairing divots and pot marks, routing out and filling cracks in the floor, and restoring all areas to the surrounding plane. The owner’s representative observed that the “filling process does wonders.” He noted that this was not a perfect floor to begin with so he was really pleased with the end results.

Finally, TMI installed CHEM-RESIST flooring system at approximately 1/8” thickness and incorporated aggregate fillers for a non-slip finish.

TMI CHEM-RESIST Epoxy Flooring is a colored, two-component, low order, 100% solids epoxy formulation and the solution for flooring applications subjected to heavy traffic, chemicals, or areas requiring a safety non-skid surface. The surface is non-porous so bacterial growth is not supported. TMI CHEM-RESIST is also easy to clean and sanitize and approved by the FDA and USDA for use in food environments.

TMI CHEM-RESIST Epoxy Quartz Flooring uses a clear epoxy resin and colored quartz aggregate that provides a decorative commercial-like finish. Color matching is available including any colored quartz aggregate combination. Cafeterias, laboratories, showrooms and commercial kitchens are several examples of the perfect application for TMI CHEM-RESIST Epoxy Quartz Flooring. It will give you the decorator finish you might need with durability and UV resistance.

TMI CHEM-RESIST Epoxy Novolac Flooring is the answer for chemical storage rooms, citrus juice plants, pickling and brine rooms, and waste treatment plants.
