Commercial kitchen and food processing floors are among the most vulnerable to damage from chemical attack and thermal shock. Thermal shock occurs when floors are cleaned with hot water or steam to help eliminate bacteria. If the topical flooring system does not dissipate heat properly, the rapid temperature changes will cause the surface to delaminate and lead to contamination of the floor. In addition to thermal shock, the frequent use of enzymatic and other harsh cleaners can quickly break down tile grouts, epoxies and coatings that lack the chemical resistance necessary to stand up in these harsh environments.
