chemical resistant flooring: safety, resistance and regulatory compliance
Companies operating in the chemical sector require high-performance flooring solutions capable of ensuring resistance to aggressive substances, operator safety and compliance with the most stringent regulations.
A RINOL resin flooring system for the chemical industry is the ideal solution to meet the challenges of this sector: from contact with corrosive agents to the need for easily disinfectable surfaces, as well as reducing the risk of workplace accidents.
With over 60 years of experience and well-established industrial know-how, RINOL designs and manufactures bespoke flooring systems, tested to deliver maximum resistance, durability and reliability even under the most demanding conditions.
Why choose RINOL chemical resistant flooring?
- Superior chemical resistance. RINOL resin systems are engineered to withstand contact with acids, solvents, oils and other aggressive agents typical of chemical processes, preventing deterioration and ensuring operational continuity.
- Operator safety. Anti-slip finishes and fire-resistant properties available in RINOL systems reduce the risk of accidents and support compliance with workplace safety regulations.
- Compliance with hygiene and environmental standards. Seamless, joint-free surfaces simplify disinfection and meet HACCP and ISO requirements, with the option of LEED and BREEAM certifications for sustainable projects.
- Durability and mechanical strength. In addition to chemical protection, RINOL floors are designed to resist impacts, abrasion and heavy loads typical of production and storage areas.
- Ease of maintenance and repair. The smooth, compact surface limits the absorption of dirt and liquids, making cleaning easier. In the event of localised wear, RINOL systems allow targeted repairs without the need to replace the entire floor.
- Aesthetic and functional customisation. Colours and finishes can be customised to define work areas, traffic routes and safety zones, improving space organisation and the readability of the production layout.

Frequently asked questions
Which factors should be considered when choosing a resin chemical resistant flooring?
It is essential to assess the type of substances handled (acids, solvents, bases, oils), the level of mechanical traffic, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) and applicable hygiene and safety regulations. RINOL supports companies in selecting the most suitable system for each specific context.
How long does it take to install a RINOL floor for the chemical industry?
Installation times depend on factors such as surface size, substrate preparation and the chosen resin system. In all cases, RINOL plans interventions to minimise production downtime.
Are RINOL floors environmentally friendly?
Yes. RINOL systems comply with strict environmental standards and are available with LEED and BREEAM certifications. In addition, the long service life of the systems reduces the need for frequent replacements, limiting waste and environmental impact.
Can resin flooring be applied over existing surfaces?
Yes, provided that the substrate is properly prepared. In the case of worn or damaged floors, RINOL carries out consolidation works and recommends the most appropriate treatment to ensure adhesion, resistance and long-term durability.
