Industrial Flooring / Site problem guide

Industrial floor coating delamination

Coating peels under traffic or cleaning.

A practical decision sequence

Diagnose the cause, then verify the repair.

Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.

01 / Symptom

What is happening?

Coating peels under traffic or cleaning.

02 / Inspect and test

Evidence to collect

Test pull-off strength and profile; inspect laitance, oil, old coating and mechanical damage.

03 / Likely mechanism

Why it can fail

Poor preparation or a system mismatched to traffic and exposure can cause loss of bond.

04 / Technical response

Choose the system

Remove loose coating and specify proper preparation, primer and duty-rated system.

05 / Site execution

Control the application

Use approved mechanical preparation and contamination removal; inspect before coating.

06 / Acceptance

Verify the result

Document substrate acceptance and bond test results where required.

Avoid this shortcut

Do not treat oily or friable concrete with primer alone.

These guides are editorial starting points, not a project specification. Confirm the design, product data, substrate conditions and inspection plan for the actual site.
