When developing synthetic floor systems, we tend to pay close attention to the functional requirements. Floors in production locations must, of course, be strong, non-slip, durable, hygienic and easy to clean and maintain, but appearance can also be important. Bolidt has a lot to offer in this regard. Wear resistance A high walking traffic intensity means a high load on the floor. From a functional point of view, it is important that the floor is resistant to this. Damage to the floor is undesirable because that complicates cleaning and allows dirt to accumulate in scratches, holes and uneven spots. Hygiene The floor plays an important role in guaranteeing proper hygiene. The seamless Bolidt floors prevent the multiplication of bacteria. The absence of difficult edges, cracks and corners ensures a surface that can be kept properly clean. Because the Bolidt floors are also pore-free, dirt does not collect in the top layer and the floor is resistant to disinfectants, chemicals and cleaning agents. The scratch and wear resistance ensures that no damage that could house bacteria and viruses occurs. Optimal hygiene is thus guaranteed. Electro-conductivity Especially in the electronics industry, the produced systems are becoming ever more sensitive for ESD. But good electro-conductivity is also required in laboratories and clean-rooms. There where volatile substances are handled or stored, conductive floors contribute to a reduction of the risk of explosions. For these types of spaces, Bolidt has developed electroconductive floor finishes with the same qualities as the other BolidtopÂŽ floors and good electro-conductivity as an additional quality. A complicated connection to an earthing mesh is not needed. Thanks to a special, conductive under layer which is in direct contact with the structural cement-bound under floor, static electricity
is quickly removed or its generation prevented. Chemicals Printing ink, oils, greases, salts, acids and other aggressive substances; the floor in an industrial setting is heavily loaded. High temperatures and an intensive mechanical loading impact the floor even more. The Bolidt floors offer protection against abrasive influences. Furthermore, they prevent the penetration of chemicals into the base layer. The production process does not need to be interrupted for repairs or completely new floors. Minimal maintenance The Bolidt floor systems are known for their very long service life and require just a minimum of maintenance. Due to the optimal structure of the floor surface and the absence of protective films or layers on Bolidt floor systems, maintenance and cleaning are very easy. Unlimited design options The Bolidt floor systems are very functional and also very attractive. A multitude of possibilities is available in the form of all imaginable colours, either plain or mixed. Patterns can be scattered in, mother of pearl can be added. A print or a painting can be incorporated into the material as can lighting. Even a 3D effect is possible. Aspects that can be used both aesthetically and communicatively, for example for sign posting or in relief to guide the blind. Almost anything is possible.
