Applications

The aisle floor takes the most cycles and the least attention. Hard-tire reach trucks and order pickers run the same line hundreds of times a day, and every pivot at the end of an aisle grinds the same few square feet.

The other load is static and easy to forget: a fully loaded rack leg puts several thousand pounds onto a base plate a few inches across, permanently. Coatings that skin over rather than build fail around those plates first, and once the edge lifts, the wash water gets underneath.

Aisle striping belongs in the system, not on top of it. Applied as part of the build and locked under the topcoat, lines survive scrubbing instead of peeling in ribbons.

Spec: OR-E41 primer, OR-621 basecoat at 20–30 mil, OR-75DCL topcoat at 8–12 mil. Total system 30–45 mil, striping embedded below the topcoat.

Production floors combine everything at once: rolling loads, dropped tooling, coolant and hydraulic oil, thermal cycling near ovens and wash stations, and anchored equipment that cannot be moved for the install.

Dropped-impact damage is the differentiator. A thin-film coating chips at the impact point and then peels outward from the chip. A high-build OR-621 layer absorbs the hit and localizes the damage, and a spot repair blends back in because the topcoat recoats to itself.

Sequencing around fixed equipment usually means working the floor in zones on nights and weekends. Polyaspartic cure speed is what makes that schedule possible at all.

Spec: OR-E41 primer, OR-621 basecoat at 30–40 mil with broadcast aggregate in wet zones, OR-75DCL topcoat at 10–15 mil. Total system 45–60 mil.

The dock is the hardest twenty feet of concrete in the building. Trailer wheels come across it loaded, the leveler plate hammers the pit edge, road salt and de-icer arrive on every tire from November to March, and the whole area sees direct sun and rain that the interior slab never does.

Dock edges and leveler pits are almost always spalled by the time anyone calls. Rebuilding those edges with Concrete Mender before coating is not optional — a coating terminated at a crumbling edge has no anchor and will unzip from the perimeter inward.

UV stability matters here in a way it does not in the middle of the building. An epoxy topcoat inside a dock door will amber visibly within a season.

Spec: Concrete Mender edge and pit rebuild, OR-E41 primer, OR-621 basecoat at 30–40 mil with aggregate broadcast for wet slip resistance, OR-75DCL topcoat at 12–15 mil.

This is the work that decides whether the floor job lasts, and it is the work most often value-engineered out of a bid.

A saw-cut control joint is a deliberate weak line, and the concrete on either side of it is the most fragile concrete in the slab. Once a wheel chips that arris, the chip grows every time a wheel crosses it. Conventional joint fillers sit in the cut as a separate body — they compress, they tear, and they hold water against the joint edge.

Concrete Mender works differently. It penetrates into the surrounding concrete and cures within the matrix, so the repaired edge carries load as slab rather than as a plug. Cracks get chased and filled the same way, and popouts get rebuilt to grade rather than patched over.

Spec: Concrete Mender for all joints, cracks, spalls, and popouts before profiling. Re-grind repairs flush, then proceed with OR-E41 primer and the full system across the repair.

Forklift battery charging rooms see sulfuric acid, hydrogen off-gassing, and standing wash water. Chemical storage and secondary containment see whatever the facility handles, sometimes for hours before anyone notices the drum is weeping.

Two things change in these areas. Film build goes up, because chemical resistance is partly a function of how long it takes a spill to reach the concrete. And coverage goes vertical — curbs, containment walls, and the cove between floor and wall get coated as one continuous surface, because a seam at the base of a curb is exactly where a spill sits.

Spec: OR-E41 primer, OR-621 basecoat at 40–60 mil carried up curbs and walls with an integral cove, OR-75DCL or OR-ACR-42 topcoat at 15–20 mil. Total system 60–100 mil depending on exposure — send us the chemical list.
