Vebro Polymers has published its guide to industrial polymer flooring systems according to FeRFA’s defined categories. 

FeRFA is the UK’s leading trade association for the industrial and commercial resin flooring, screeding and surface preparation industries.   

The leading authority for over 50 years on resin flooring systems, FeRFA has led the way in promoting the benefits of resin flooring as a high performance solution for industrial and commercial applications, as well as taking a leading role in developing national and international standards for resin flooring, screeding and surface preparation. 

Based on their physical properties and performance characteristics, and in line with BS 8204-6, Section 6.2, each of FeRFA’s categories defines the specific criteria of a polymer floor — ranging from light duty floor sealers, through to extremely hardwearing trowel finished aggregate-filled floor systems. 

Not only does this allow applicators to easily identify different type of polymer flooring materials from their supplier, but it also allows for accurate specification and selection of flooring for different environments based on on-site service requirements. 

Industrial coatings by FeRFA category 

Vebro published its online overview of its full range of industrial and commercial flooring systems according to FeRFA categories earlier this year, and is now pleased to have compiled those suited to industrial applications, such as hangars and aerospace environments, manufacturing facilities and distribution centres, automotive production and laboratories, into a handy PDF guide. 

Download the guide here for more information on each of the below industrial polymer flooring systems. 

1. Floor seal 

< 0.15 mm, Light duty 

3. High build floor coating 

0.3 – 1.0 mm, Medium duty 

4. Multi-layer flooring 

> 2.0 mm, Medium / heavy duty 

5. Flow applied flooring

6. Resin screed flooring 

> 4.0 mm, Medium / heavy duty 

7. Heavy duty flowable flooring 

4.0 – 6.0 mm, Heavy / very heavy duty 

8. Heavy duty resin flooring 

> 6.0 mm, Very heavy duty
