Wear-Resistant Polyurethane Resin Flooring System

Wear-Resistant Polyurethane Resin Flooring Solutions

Forklifts, heavy carts, and constant foot traffic can destroy a normal floor fast. You’ll see dusting, scratches, peeling edges, and ugly wheel marks. A wear-resistant PU (polyurethane) resin flooring system is built for this problem.

Compared with traditional epoxy floors, PU wear-resistant systems are known for better toughness, better shock absorption, and better fatigue resistance in busy areas. That means fewer cracks, less chipping, and a longer service life in real-world heavy use.

Where this system works best

This solution is a strong fit for:

Factory workshops and assembly areas
Warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution hubs
Forklift lanes and heavy-load routes
Parking garages and ramps
Stations, airports, service bays, and maintenance shops
Cold storage and food & beverage plants (when washdown and traffic are both common)

Key performance targets (what buyers care about)

A good wear-resistant PU flooring system is designed around simple, measurable goals:

Low abrasion loss: ≤ 0.015 g (CS-17, 1000g)
High slip safety: dry/wet friction coefficient typically ≥ 0.6
Strong adhesion: designed to resist peeling and wheel-lift at edges
Impact and fatigue resistance: better for repeated rolling loads
Easy cleaning: smooth, seamless finish helps daily maintenance

Final performance depends on substrate prep, thickness, curing, and traffic conditions.

Thickness guide (simple selection)

Use thickness as a “traffic level switch”:

2.0–2.5 mm — medium traffic / light load
(people + light carts, general warehouse zones)
3.0–4.0 mm — high-frequency forklift / heavy load
(forklift lanes, turning points, loading zones, ramps)

If you have point-load risks (racks, jacks, impacts), we can adjust the build-up for higher protection.

System build-up (layer by layer)

A wear-resistant PU floor is a system, not a single paint layer. Typical build-up:

Concrete substrate (repaired + properly prepared)
Primer (seals pores, locks dust, improves bonding)
PU mortar / leveling layer (adds thickness, strength, and flatness)
Wear-resistant PU topcoat (the working surface that takes the abuse)
Optional anti-slip texture or protective sealer (based on safety + cleaning needs)

This structure is why the floor can handle rolling loads and impact over time.

Recommended product models (ZDSpoxy)

Below are practical ZDSpoxy models commonly used in wear-resistant industrial flooring projects. Exact selection depends on your substrate, curing window, and whether you need low-odor or higher chemical resistance.

Recommended models by function

System part	What it does	Recommended ZDSpoxy model
Primer (Option A)	Strong sealing + reliable bonding for industrial slabs	ZDS1012AB — 2K Epoxy Primer
Primer (Option B)	PU primer option for specific substrates and workflows	ZDS1901 — 1K Polyurethane Primer
Wear-resistant topcoat (PU)	Durable finish with strong wear + scratch resistance	ZDS6200AB — 2K Water-Based Polyurethane Topcoat
Optional heavy-duty topcoat (Epoxy)	High wear + strong chemical/corrosion resistance option	ZDS4220AB-90 — Industrial-Grade Epoxy Topcoat

How to choose fast

Want toughness + comfort + easy maintenance → prioritize PU topcoat (ZDS6200AB)
Want extra chemical/corrosion resistance in harsh zones → consider ZDS4220AB-90 as an option in the system
Unsure which primer fits your slab best → tell us your concrete condition and moisture risk; we’ll recommend ZDS1012AB or ZDS1901

Installation overview (what to expect)

A smooth, long-life floor is mostly about the process:

Site check
Confirm traffic type (forklift? turning points?), cleaning method, and downtime window.
Surface preparation
Grinding or shot blasting removes weak layers and opens pores for bonding. Cracks and joints are repaired.
Primer application
Seals the slab and reduces pinholes and delamination risk.
Build thickness (mortar / leveling)
Creates a strong, flat base—critical for rolling loads.
Apply wear-resistant topcoat
This is the protective working surface.
Curing and return to service
Return time depends on temperature and ventilation. We provide a clear curing plan for your schedule.

Quality checks (how you verify performance)

Before handover, we recommend checking:

Abrasion resistance (for heavy traffic lanes)
Slip resistance (especially ramps and wet-clean areas)
Adhesion / bond strength (high-risk zones: repairs, edges, turning points)
Flatness and surface finish (helps forklift stability and cleaning)
Visual inspection (pinholes, bubbles, weak edges)

Common problems (and how we avoid them)

Problem: Wheel marks and fast wear
Fix: choose the right thickness and topcoat type for rolling loads.

Problem: Peeling at edges or joints
Fix: correct surface prep + primer selection + joint treatment.

Problem: Slippery floor
Fix: add controlled texture or anti-slip design where needed—without making cleaning hard.

FAQs

Is PU flooring better than epoxy for forklifts?

For many heavy-traffic areas, PU systems perform better in toughness and fatigue resistance. Epoxy can be great too, especially when high hardness and chemical resistance are the top priorities.

How do I choose thickness?

Use 2.0–2.5 mm for medium traffic and 3.0–4.0 mm for frequent forklift routes and heavy-load zones.

Can you match our downtime window?

Yes. Tell us your working hours, reopening deadline, and site temperature. We’ll recommend a practical build-up and curing plan.
