At Chemical Storage Resin Flooring, we provide advanced resin flooring systems engineered specifically for hazardous storage conditions across the UK. Our installations are built to withstand aggressive chemicals, impact from heavy handling equipment, and continuous washdowns in environments where spill containment and compliance are essential.

Whether the project involves bunded areas, drum storage zones, or chemical warehousing, we deliver seamless, chemical-resistant flooring designed to support safety, durability, and regulatory standards.

What Advantages Does Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Provide for Hazardous Facilities?

Chemical storage resin flooring delivers exceptional resistance to corrosive chemicals, ensuring spills, vapours, or leaks do not degrade the floor structure or penetrate the substrate.

The seamless, non-porous finish supports hygiene and contamination control, while slip-resistant textures improve safety in wet or chemically exposed conditions. Its structural strength withstands forklifts, racking systems, and drum-handling equipment, and in bunded areas, the flooring maintains containment integrity to support regulatory compliance.

Which Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Systems Are Commonly Used?

Several resin flooring systems are specified for chemical storage, including:

• Polyurethane screeds – Installed in bunds and drum storage areas requiring resistance to acids and alkalis.
• Epoxy novolac systems – Selected for solvent-rich environments that demand enhanced chemical protection.
• Vinyl ester resins – Used in highly aggressive zones exposed to oxidising agents or concentrated chemicals.
• Chemical-resistant epoxy coatings – Applied in moderate-exposure areas where a durable, impermeable finish is needed.
• Heavy-duty resin screeds – Installed in high-load storage sites with forklift traffic, drum handling, or frequent washdowns.

How Much Does Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Cost?

The cost of chemical storage resin flooring ranges between £80 and £160 per square metre, depending on the severity of chemical exposure, the resin formulation selected, the condition of the existing substrate, and whether bunds or secondary containment features are required.

Costs also vary based on the specification of high-performance polyurethane or vinyl ester systems, as well as additional requirements such as coving, drainage falls, or anti-slip additives, where safety is a priority.

How Quickly Can Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Be Installed?

Most chemical storage flooring projects are completed within 2 to 5 days, depending on the area size and resin type.

Fast-cure MMA systems enable full installation and curing within a single day, making them suitable for facilities that must remain operational with minimal downtime. Work can be scheduled around on-site workflows, including overnight or weekend periods, to reduce disruptions.

Does Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Include Preparation and Containment Features?

All chemical storage resin flooring installations begin with detailed preparation, such as grinding, shot blasting, or crack repair, to ensure a secure bond.

Containment features, including bund walls, coving, and liquid-tight sealing systems, can be integrated into the installation to prevent leaks and support environmental protection. Where drainage is required, resin flooring can be installed with gradients to direct runoff to safe collection points.

Where Is Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Most Often Installed?

Chemical storage resin flooring is widely used across hazardous-handling environments, including:

• Bunded chemical stores – Zones requiring complete spill containment.
• Drum storage rooms – Areas facing mechanical impact and chemical exposure.
• Chemical mixing and decanting areas – Spaces needing seamless, impermeable surfaces.
• IBC storage yards – High-load areas requiring robust, chemically resistant finishes.
• Processing plants and laboratories – Facilities managing acids, alkalis, solvents, or oxidising agents.
• Adjacent warehouse zones – Spaces upgraded to maintain consistent containment and safety across the site.

Can Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Be Customised With Colours, Zoning or Anti-Slip Features?

Chemical storage resin flooring can be customised with safety colour coding, hazard markings, walkway guidance, and stencilled warnings embedded directly into the resin.

Anti-slip textures can be added using graded aggregates suited for wet, oily, or high-risk zones, and bund linings or reinforced coatings can be tailored to the specific chemical profile of the facility.

What Chemical Resistance and Safety Standards Should Chemical Storage Resin Flooring Meet?

Chemical storage resin flooring should comply with standards for chemical resistance, such as BS EN 13529 and align with COSHH requirements, the Environmental Protection Act, and relevant HSE guidelines.

For hygiene-critical storage, antimicrobial performance may be required in line with ISO 22196. Slip resistance is typically verified using Pendulum Test values to ensure safety in spill-prone environments.
