Industrial flooring systems engineered to withstand extreme conditions
In a chemical plant, flooring is exposed to extreme stress: acids, alkalis, solvents, impacts, heavy loads, and thermal shock. Any weakness in the flooring system can lead to operational and environmental risks, affecting operator safety, production continuity, and compliance with HSE protocols. Accidental contamination, surface deterioration, or loss of impermeability can compromise plant performance and increase maintenance costs. Cipa Gres offers certified industrial flooring solutions in acid-resistant technical porcelain stoneware, engineered to withstand the most aggressive chemical agents while maintaining full structural integrity even under complex operating conditions.
Acid-resistant industrial flooring for corrosive environments
Cipa Gres flooring systems for the chemical industry are engineered to ensure safety and operational continuity even under the most extreme conditions:
- Total chemical resistance: no degradation or leaching, even in contact with strong acids and industrial solvents.
- Absolute impermeability: continuous, sealed flooring systems that prevent infiltration and the spread of hazardous substances.
- Anti-slip surfaces: maximum operator safety, even in the presence of liquids and viscous substances.
- High mechanical strength: thicknesses from 14 mm to 20 mm in full-body porcelain stoneware, suitable for impacts, abrasion, and heavy forklift traffic.
- Thermal stability: resistance to thermal shock and high-temperature processes.
Cipa Gres acid-resistant technical flooring maintains continuity and impermeability even after years of exposure to corrosive substances, reducing maintenance costs and minimizing the risk of unplanned downtime.
Certified resistance to the most aggressive acids
In chemical plants, flooring must withstand highly corrosive and unstable substances. Cipa Gres full-body acid-resistant technical porcelain stoneware industrial flooring is tested to deliver high performance even when in contact with:
- Sulfuric acid: one of the most aggressive acids, widely used in synthesis processes.
- Hydrochloric acid: used in electroplating and metal treatment.
- Nitric acid: present in fertilizers, explosives, and oxidation processes.
- Phosphoric acid: used in detergents, fertilizers, and industrial formulations.
- Organic solvents and alkaline salts, which cause degradation in non-technical materials.
- All acids except hydrofluoric acid.
Thanks to their low porosity and joints sealed with certified epoxy systems, Cipa Gres flooring solutions maintain consistent performance and ensure the safety of production environments.
Tailored flooring solutions for every chemical plant
Each plant has specific requirements. Cipa Gres designs customized technical flooring solutions for every production area:
- Production lines and reactors: acid-resistant and impermeable surfaces.
- Laboratories and testing areas: seamless, non-absorbent flooring to reduce contamination.
- Warehouses and hazardous substance storage: high mechanical strength and anti-slip performance.
- High-risk areas: certified solutions for maximum protection of operators and facilities.
- Conductive and dissipative flooring systems for production areas with fire and explosion risk.
Also available in technical hexagonal format, ideal for ensuring maximum surface continuity and operational safety.
Laboratory flooring with chemical resistance from pH 1 to 14
In research, analytical, or chemical synthesis laboratories, flooring must ensure total resistance across the entire pH scale from 1 to 14. Cipa Gres full-body technical porcelain stoneware flooring, combined with certified epoxy sealing systems, maintains consistent performance even in the presence of strong acids, concentrated alkalis, solvents, and saline solutions.
