Factories and other facilities in the manufacturing of batteries have certain unique requirements when it comes to flooring installations. Factors such as wet settings, extreme temperatures, and battery acid resistance can cause damage to floors over time if they’re not sufficiently protected with a protective finish. However, with the installation of reliable flooring and maintenance services, your facility can remain both efficient and safe.
Electronic Vehicle Flooring Installation Requirements
Certain heavy equipment will eventually wear down floors without proper protective measures in place. Damage can also accumulate over time due to heavy foot traffic and machinery.
A well-maintained flooring system will help keep these facilities safer and less vulnerable to damage.
Most importantly, the floor needs to be resistant to battery acid. We use a product called Novolac Epoxy to combat acids used in the manufacturing of batteries.
Reducing the Need for Repairs
When installing flooring in a battery manufacturing facility, you may believe that maintenance policies aren’t needed, but the fact is that they can help you save money in the long run. Certain equipment, heavy machinery, and caustic chemicals will damage flooring over time without sufficient protection, and even light impact could cause more harm if the surface is already damaged. Joint damage is another aspect that facility managers should take into consideration.
Technology companies can ultimately save both time and money by preventing these issues during the installation of the initial flooring. Keep in mind that damaged flooring can also leave other equipment, supplies, and staff at risk of damage or harm in facilities, as equipment will need more frequent repairs when used on worn floors, and the risk of work-related injuries will also be higher.
Floor and Wall Services for the Electronic Vehicle Industry
One of the best ways for a battery manufacturing facility to keep its flooring in prime condition is to install a new top-quality floor surface in addition to the initial flooring. This surfacing could include a protective coating in addition to a properly installed floor base. However, if flooring has already suffered damage as a result of inadequate protection, you can also contact professional flooring installers to perform repairs. Installers can also include epoxy and other finishes for additional protection.
MSC Floors offers a variety of floor and wall services to help keep technology facilities in great condition, including:
Electronic Vehicle Facility Concrete Repair
Concrete will eventually require repairs for varying degrees of damage. Our concrete repair services include concrete diamond grinding, sandblasting and shotblasting, scarification, floor sloping, concrete scraping, floor flattening, trip hazard removal, dry concrete cleaning, and dust proofing. The hazardous chemicals used at the facility can destroy a floor. Using Novolac epoxy can help prevent costly maintenance.
Crack and Joint Repair
Cracks will eventually appear in flooring as the materials age and experience wear, which can increase the risk of contamination and accidents. Joint and crack repair services can remove any existing safety hazards and help reduce the risk of injury, prepare concrete and substrate for floor coating application, eliminate contamination areas, and prevent bacteria buildup.
Concrete Preparation
Concrete preparation services are needed to make sure that the floor coatings don’t peel, break, or fail over time as a result of poor adhesion. With concrete floor preparation prior to coating, technology facility flooring systems will benefit from added overall efficiency while preventing the formation of any flaws that might otherwise allow for damage and contamination. We have the equipment necessary to prep the concrete and making sure there is a secure bond to the substrate.
OSHA Floor Striping
Some facilities in the EV industry may need OSHA floor striping, which we also offer to maintain compliance with all OSHA safety guidelines when it comes to marking and striping. We can create custom stencils, line striping, or provide walkway coatings to keep everyone safe.
Tank and Wall Coatings for Battery Manufacturing Facilities
Tank and wall coatings can provide additional protection for certain technology facilities, preventing damage while making walls and tanks easier to clean and maintain. These coatings also provide more corrosion resistance and can help create a safer work environment. We have a separate division in our company that focuses on asset protection.
Industrial Painting
Industrial painting is frequently needed for technology facilities. Our division, Michigan Specialty Coatings can provide painting for nearly any type of project. We offer chemical resistant coatings of all kinds. Finishing, seamless urethane and epoxy flooring, as well as drywall finishes, textured coatings, machine coatings, conventional coatings, and more.
