Industrial facilities exposed to chemicals, cleaning agents and process liquids require flooring selected for their operating conditions. Polymer Applications (M) Sdn Bhd provides chemical resistant flooring solutions in Malaysia, including epoxy and polyurethane (PU) systems for manufacturing plants, processing facilities and industrial work areas.
Established in Malaysia in 1992, the company offers flooring system supply, technical consultation, installation and maintenance support.
Polymer Applications provides industrial epoxy flooring solutions and PU flooring systems for facilities with different operational requirements.
Epoxy flooring provides protective finishes for suitable concrete substrates in industrial environments.
Common applications include:
- Manufacturing areas: Floors exposed to production activities and selected process liquids
- Chemical handling zones: Areas where potential chemical contact must be assessed
- Equipment rooms: Protective surfaces around industrial machinery
- Maintenance workshops: Floors exposed to routine servicing activities
Chemical resistance depends on the selected product, chemical concentration, contact duration and operating temperature.
Polyurethane flooring offers another protective flooring option for selected industrial processing environments.
Potential applications include:
- Food and beverage production areas
- Manufacturing facilities with wet processes
- Industrial cleaning and washdown zones
- Production rooms requiring protective floor finishes
The company’s chemical-resistant PU flooring applications in Johor Bahru provide a relevant reference for industrial PU flooring.
Polymer Applications supplies protective flooring systems under its POLYGARD® and ECOGARD® brands.
| Flooring System | Product Category | Relevant Application |
|---|---|---|
| POLYGARD® CRE | Chemical-resistant epoxy | Selected industrial areas requiring chemical exposure assessment |
| POLYGARD® PSL | Hybrid PU flooring | Processing and manufacturing environments |
| ECOGARD® PSL | Hybrid PU flooring | Selected production and processing areas |
| POLYGARD® SLB | Slip-resistant epoxy broadcast | Areas requiring textured protective finishes |
Industrial flooring specifications vary according to the operating environment.
Relevant factors include:
- Chemical type: Acids, alkalis, solvents or cleaning agents
- Concentration: Strength of chemicals used or handled
- Exposure duration: Occasional spills or repeated contact
- Operating temperature: Ambient or elevated process temperatures
- Surface conditions: Moisture, equipment movement and cleaning routines
Product-specific technical data and chemical resistance documentation are necessary before confirming suitability.
Polymer Applications has completed protective flooring projects for industrial facilities with different operational requirements.
The company completed a high-build epoxy flooring application at the Carlsberg Brewery water treatment plant.
Project highlights:
- Industry: Beverage manufacturing
- Facility area: Water treatment plant
- Flooring: High-build epoxy
- Location: Shah Alam, Selangor
The Carlsberg Brewery flooring case study documents the company’s experience with protective flooring in an industrial water treatment environment.
Polymer Applications also installed ECOGARD® PSL 5020 hybrid PU flooring for a mayonnaise production environment.
Project highlights:
- Industry: Food manufacturing
- Production environment: Mayonnaise processing
- Flooring system: ECOGARD® PSL 5020 hybrid PU
- Location: Port Klang, Selangor
The Longson Food Products project demonstrates the company’s hybrid PU flooring installation experience.
These projects provide evidence of industrial flooring applications but do not establish chemical resistance ratings for every system.
Polymer Applications supports industrial flooring projects from system assessment through installation and maintenance.
Its services include:
- Site assessment: Reviewing substrate conditions and facility requirements
- System selection: Identifying suitable epoxy or PU flooring options
- Specification support: Assisting with flooring system requirements
- Installation: Applying selected protective flooring systems
The company also offers maintenance services for applicable flooring systems, including:
- Floor inspections
- Minor surface repairs
- Protective recoating
- General maintenance support
Maintenance requirements depend on the installed system, operating conditions and floor condition.
Polymer Applications (M) Sdn Bhd provides chemical resistant flooring solutions in Malaysia through its POLYGARD® and ECOGARD® product ranges.
With experience in manufacturing, food processing and water treatment environments, the company supports industrial flooring projects through technical consultation, installation and maintenance services. Product-specific chemical resistance must be verified against actual operating requirements.
