Globally Renowned Manufacturing Organisation Implements Innovative Flooring Solution for High-Risk Production Zone
Project Overview
In an endeavour to fortify their production infrastructure, a prominent global manufacturer and supplier specialising in biochemical, biomedical, bioplastic and food ingredient solutions has successfully executed a transformative project to significantly improve their production facility floor by using Stonhard products and services.
The Problem
The initiative centred around the urgent need to rehabilitate a flooring area that had suffered severe damage due to spills of 98% milk acid and other highly corrosive chemicals, including solvents. Moreover, as this zone was designated as an ATEX zone, it necessitated a flooring solution with Conductivity attributes to ensure the safety of the production employees.
The Solution
To combat this complex challenge, the Stonhard Spain team proposed a comprehensive solution aimed at safeguarding the floor against deterioration, ensuring a clean, easily maintainable surface, all while meeting static control specifications for this ATEX zone.Stonhard’s highly experienced installation team addressed this by installing 200m2 of a strategic combination of Stonhard products: Stonset TG6, Stonclad UT Light and Stonchem 821, specifically tailored for the esters zone of the production facility.
Summary
The implementation of this innovative flooring system provided the required protection against aggressive chemicals. The project's success underscores the manufacturer's commitment to excellence and the adoption of forward-looking solutions in their operational infrastructure.
This initiative stands as a testament to the company's dedication to preserving the integrity of their facilities while ensuring optimal safety standards in challenging production environments. Through this strategic implementation, the company has significantly fortified its operations against the detrimental effects of chemical spills while also streamlining maintenance efforts for a sustainable, long-term solution.
