Chemical Storage Flooring
Chemical storage areas are an essential part of pharmaceutical laboratories and other pharmaceutical facilities. Chemicals must be stored in the proper environment, lest they escape their vessels to potentially damage floors and other assets in the space, as well as pose health risks to nearby workers. Time-sensitive cleanup, costly repair and downtime can be the result. The ideal chemical storage areas have protection built into every area, including the flooring system. Chemical storage flooring must offer resistance to the specific substances and concentrations being stored to help keep pharmaceutical products, employees and visitors safe from exposure. Flooring for these areas must offer proven durability and performance or the harsh conditions of chemical storage areas.

Durable and Long-Lasting Chemical Storage Area Flooring
The flooring of a chemical storage area requires an extremely durable surface coating to protect the concrete below from harsh acids or alkalis, solvents and high concentration chemicals. Each chemical storage area is unique and flooring systems should be selected based on the specific conditions present in the facility. The thickness of the floor coating system along with the ability to resist thermal shock in the case of steam cleaning regimes are aspects to consider. Additionally, flooring with antimicrobial features may be needed to help prevent pathogen growth and proliferation in the area.
Heavy-duty, seamless flooring systems are ideal for chemical storage areas. By eliminating tile grout lines and many of the crevices found in other types of floor coverings, seamless fluid-applied flooring gives dirt and contaminants fewer place to to hide and enables easier cleaning. Sherwin-Williams offers a broad range of solutions for different use cases. Our aggregate-filled flooring options can improve impact resistance and compressive strength under heavy loads, whereas our electrostatic dissipative (ESD) and conductive flooring can support safety protocols in highly sensitive environments. Certain types of resinous surfaces provide better resistance against extreme pH exposure, while others offer superior solvent resistance. Our team of experts is available to help guide chemical storage facility managers in specifying optimal protective flooring for these challenging environments.
Regardless of selection, all chemical storage flooring should be long-lasting. Extending floor repair and replacement cycles and reducing downtimes is every facility's goal. Correct specification and installation, along with regular care and maintenance, are key to the longevity of flooring in high use chemical storage areas.
