Chemical-resistant floors for the food industry

There is the stress of driving on and off heavy forklift traffic, the discharge of high-temperature liquids, but equally that floor is exposed to fats, intestinal fluids, acidic animal liquids and other acids from the food industry such as acetic acid, citric acid or lactic acid, for example. There is also the influence of chemicals in cleaning products. If the floor cannot withstand the chemicals present during production, the floor is going to show damage, making it unsafe for workers and compromising hygiene.
