The concrete in your facility and every facility is always under attack either mechanically or chemically.
Mechanical abrasions to your concrete surfaces can be caused by forklift traffic, small steel wheeled carts, manufacturing processes and manufacturing debris such as metal shavings, etc. Combining the traffic with manufacturing debris can speed up the deterioration of the concrete surfaces considerably.
Chemically it could be acids necessary to the manufacturing process to as simple as oils leaking from pumps or lines during these processes. In the food industry, sugars and fatty acids and water are a major culprit to the fast deterioration of concrete. Parking garages in northern states have to deal with salts, deicers and water carried in by hundreds of cars daily.
How can my damaged or exposed concrete hurt me?
The mechanical abrasion or chemical attack to your concrete can be a slow process but can cause major damage at anytime to your finished product. Your concrete might not deteriorate overnight but the dust that is created by mechanical abrasions can settle onto your finished product and or parts before assembly and cause a major problem. Plus once the concrete starts to deteriorate it can cause damage to your forklifts and carts driving across your floors. this in turn becomes a safety concern as well.
The chemical concern to your concrete not only is the deterioration and the sludge it can create causing a safety issue of slipping and falling but the saturation of the chemicals into your concrete and inevitably the saturation of the ground beneath your facility.
