Industrial Flooring / Site problem guide

Premature floor abrasion or dusting

Traffic rapidly wears surface or creates dust.

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?

Traffic rapidly wears surface or creates dust.

02 / Inspect and test

Evidence to collect

Assess surface hardness, curing, laitance, traffic load and cleaning chemistry.

03 / Likely mechanism

Why it can fail

Weak surface concrete or inadequate cure can undermine a coating or densifier.

04 / Technical response

Choose the system

Remove unsound surface and select a system suited to abrasion and impact exposure.

05 / Site execution

Control the application

Prepare to sound concrete, apply specified thickness and cure before traffic.

06 / Acceptance

Verify the result

Check thickness, cure and wear under service conditions.

Avoid this shortcut

Do not return forklifts before the system reaches required service strength.

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