Food, confectionery and soap units deal with hot oils, sugars and alkalis. Most of these plants also wash their floors with plenty of water. Plain concrete in these conditions erodes, potholes and starts smelling. PU concrete is one of the few floor systems that holds up to that mix of chemicals, heat and water.
Tannery floors are some of the most chemically aggressive we deal with. Different areas face different problems:
| Area | What hits the floor | Our usual approach |
|---|---|---|
| Beamhouse (soaking, liming) | Lime, sulphides, salt, lots of water | PU concrete, 9 mm, laid to drains |
| Tanning and retanning | Chrome salts, acids, heat | PU concrete or specialist chemical resistant system, depending on the chemicals |
| Drum areas | Heavy impact, liquor spills | PU concrete, 9 mm, with reinforced edges |
| Finishing and dispatch | Solvents, dry traffic | PU coating or epoxy |
The tanning section needs the most care. Some chrome tanning and pickling steps use acids that are too strong for PU concrete over the long term. We ask for your chemical list and concentrations at the survey, and where needed we recommend a chemical resistant flooring system for those zones.
Kanpur's food and confectionery plants use PU concrete in cooking, frying and syrup areas, where hot spills and sugar residue would damage other floors. Soap and detergent units use it where alkaline spills and water washdown are constant. In both, the jointless, coved finish makes cleaning quicker and more thorough.
Kanpur summers are very hot, and many process areas add their own heat. PU concrete handles hot spills well. Installation still needs care, though. On a hot slab the material stiffens quickly, so we lay in cooler hours, use shade and control batch sizes.
A PU concrete floor almost never fails in the middle. It fails at drains, door thresholds, channel edges and around machine bases, where water and chemicals get under the edge. Every job we do includes anchor grooves cut into the slab at those points, so the floor locks into the concrete rather than just sitting on it. Drain channels are rebuilt where their edges have crumbled.
Yes. Lime and sulphide liquors with plenty of water are conditions PU concrete handles well, as long as drains and falls are done properly.
It depends on the exact chemicals and concentrations. We review your process list before recommending a system for tanning areas.
Yes. We usually work area by area around the process flow so the tannery or plant keeps operating.
