A lithium battery manufacturer required a durable epoxy flooring solution for its new 84,000 sq. ft. production plant.
Facility managers were concerned about long-term performance and needed a system that could handle joint movement without cracking or delamination.
Experts at Kemtile recommended Stonkote GS4 from global flooring product manufacturers Stonhard, an epoxy coating designed for chemical and wear resistance.
Known for its long-term durability, abrasion resistance, stain resistance, and gloss finish, Stonkote GS4 not only enhances light reflectivity but also delivers a clean, professional appearance.
The Kemtile team completed surface preparation in just three days, ensuring the new concrete substrate was ready for the installation of the coating system.
High-strength grout was used to patch the surface, followed by the application of a high-solids primer.
After allowing the floor to cure, the epoxy coating was installed. Joints were then cut and filled with backer rod and a flexible polyurethane sealant, a method that ensures the coating remains intact and resistant to cracking caused by joint movement.
The result is a durable, high-performance floor that meets the demands of a bustling industrial environment while maintaining a polished, professional look.
For battery manufacturers, Stonhard products deliver critical protection against corrosive agents while providing smooth, easy-to-maintain surfaces that enhance operational efficiency and simplify facility maintenance.
The sector is a rapidly expanding market for Kemtile, driven by the demand for electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage.
With unmatched technical expertise the installation was successfully completed within the client’s tight 11-day timeline.
