This article focuses on the state of the art of industrial flooring. Tradition technology and application techniques are reviewed. Installation of these floors has improved modestly but they continue to be time and labor intensive. Improving the speed of installation has necessitated the need to look at different chemistries and application techniques. Polyurea systems can address installation speed and functionality in many cases, but cannot be expected to address all applications.
