Seamless full-body technical porcelain stoneware surfaces for high-risk environments
In the oil and gas industry, operational safety starts from the ground up. Every work area is exposed to hydrocarbons, solvents, aromatics, flammable substances, high temperatures, and heavy mechanical loads. In these conditions, full-body acid-resistant technical porcelain stoneware industrial flooring is required, engineered to ensure chemical resistance, seamless surface continuity, and long-term operational stability. Cipa Gres certified flooring solutions provide safe, antistatic, and impermeable surfaces, UV-resistant and compliant with ATEX regulations for refineries, extraction plants, and high-risk storage areas.
Industrial flooring for refineries and oil plants
Cipa Gres full-body acid-resistant technical porcelain stoneware flooring systems deliver superior performance in extreme environments:
- Antistatic properties for safety in ATEX zones.
- Chemical and acid resistance: no alteration even in contact with hydrocarbons, oils, and aggressive solvents.
- Impermeability and surface continuity, preventing the spread of hazardous substances.
- High mechanical durability: industrial flooring resistant to impacts, abrasion, and thermal cycles.
- Anti-slip surfaces, compliant with HSE safety standards.
Antistatic flooring for ATEX zones
Areas classified as ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) require surfaces capable of ensuring controlled electrical dissipation and resistance to chemical agents. Cipa Gres industrial flooring systems are made of full-body technical porcelain stoneware with:
- Certified antistatic performance, to prevent discharges and sparks.
- Long-lasting acid and mechanical resistance.
- ATEX technical documentation and certifications for audits and inspections.
- Structural reliability even in environments subject to extreme stress.
High-performance flooring for extraction, storage, and distribution
Each stage of the oil and gas supply chain requires flooring with dedicated performance characteristics. Cipa Gres industrial flooring systems are ideal for:
- Extraction areas: acid-resistant flooring, resistant to solvents, aromatics, and saline substances.
- Refineries: seamless, anti-slip surfaces resistant to high temperatures.
- Warehouses and storage facilities: impermeable flooring that is easy to sanitize.
- Loading and unloading areas: technical porcelain stoneware with high mechanical strength in 20 mm thickness and chemical resistance.
Installation and sealing systems for oil & gas environments
The performance of a technical floor depends on installation and sealing. To ensure safety and long-term performance in oil & gas environments, Cipa Industrial Service offers certified systems:
- Industria Proepoxi – two-component epoxy grout resistant to oily substances, hydrocarbons, and solvents.
- Industria Epoflex 03 Joint – flexible epoxy-polyurethane sealant, ideal for expansion joints subject to vibration and thermal movement.
These systems ensure total impermeability, chemical resistance, and operational continuity, contributing to the overall safety of the facility.
