Abrasion Resistant Concrete Coating: Extending the Life of Industrial Floors Under Extreme Pressure
In an industrial setting, every square meter of floor takes more abuse than any other surface.
Forklift traffic, dropped tools, cleaning agents—all accelerate wear.
Without proper protection, even the hardest concrete turns dull, dusty, and unsafe.
That’s where abrasion resistant concrete coatings come in: a barrier that transforms ordinary concrete into a surface ready for heavy-duty life.
1 | The Cost of Ignoring Abrasion
Concrete, though strong in compression, has poor surface hardness.
Repeated friction leads to micro-chipping, dust release, and early surface decay.
Factories and warehouses that neglect coating often face:
-
Dusting and surface disintegration within 12 months.
-
Loss of traction, increasing accident risk.
-
Corrosion of reinforcement due to moisture and chemicals.
-
High re-polishing and cleaning costs.
Over time, this doesn’t just reduce aesthetics—it eats into operational budgets.
2 | The Science Behind Abrasion Resistance
An effective abrasion resistant concrete coating combines mechanical hardness and chemical bonding.
YUNYAN’s system integrates epoxy resin, polyurethane sealants, and nano silicate particles, forming a dense, interlocked matrix that resists both impact and rolling friction.
| Coating Layer | Function | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Primer (Epoxy base) | Bonds with concrete pores | Improves adhesion and sealing |
| Mid-Coat (Quartz-filled epoxy) | Absorbs mechanical stress | Enhances compressive strength |
| Topcoat (PU / hybrid resin) | Provides abrasion & UV resistance | Long-term gloss and hardness |
Performance Data (YUNYAN Standard):
-
Abrasion Resistance: ≤ 0.5 g/cm² loss (ASTM D4060)
-
Impact Resistance: ≥ 15 N·m (ISO 6272)
-
Adhesion Strength: ≥ 1.2 MPa (EN 13892-8)
-
Gloss Retention: > 85% after 3 years
-
Chemical Resistance: Strong (oil, alkali, detergent)
The result is a seamless, high-hardness coating that stands up to thousands of forklift cycles.
3 | Comparison: Standard Concrete vs. YUNYAN Coating System
| Property | Uncoated Concrete | YUNYAN Abrasion-Resistant Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Strength | Moderate | 3× stronger |
| Dusting | Frequent | Eliminated |
| Chemical Resistance | Low | High |
| Maintenance Cycle | 6–12 months | >5 years |
| Visual Appearance | Dull | High-gloss finish |
By sealing pores and forming a hardened film, YUNYAN coatings extend service life by up to 400% compared to unprotected floors.
4 | Industry Applications
| Sector | Floor Stress | Recommended YUNYAN System |
|---|---|---|
| Logistics Warehouses | Forklift abrasion | Epoxy + PU hybrid coating |
| Manufacturing Plants | Impact & vibration | Thick epoxy quartz coating |
| Automotive Workshops | Oil and solvent spills | Chemical-resistant epoxy coating |
| Food & Beverage Facilities | Hygiene requirements | Water-based PU coating |
| Parking Decks | Tire friction | UV-stable PU system |
Each formula is tailored for the load intensity, exposure type, and environmental condition of your facility.

6 | Application Best Practices
| Step | Description | Key Control |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | Grind, clean, and dry surface | Remove oil, laitance, dust |
| 2. Priming | Apply epoxy primer | Ensure full pore penetration |
| 3. Mid-Coat Application | Use quartz-filled epoxy | Strength and elasticity balance |
| 4. Topcoat Sealing | PU or hybrid finish | Anti-slip and UV protection |
| 5. Curing & Testing | 12–24 h | Maintain 25°C ± 3°C |
