Why Complex Coatings Excel for Pharmaceutical Facility Floors
Posted Aug 21, 2023 by Dave Scaturro

The production of medical drugs and supplies necessitates the maintenance of superior safety and cleanliness. Durable, high-performance flooring, wall, and lining systems that meet or exceed strict FDA safety standards are essential for industrial-scale production of safe and effective medications.
Pharmaceutical facility floors endure constant foot traffic, exposure to harsh chemicals, and stringent cleanliness requirements. They demand a specialized coating solution that enhances the facility's appearance while meeting rigorous industry standards. We will explore the benefits of using complex coatings for pharmaceutical facility floors and why Alpine Painting & Sandblasting is considered a trusted partner.
Exceptional Chemical Resistance
Pharmaceutical facilities often handle a range of chemicals, including aggressive acids and caustic substances. Standard floor coatings may quickly deteriorate under the constant assault of these chemicals, compromising the floor's integrity and hygiene. Complex coatings, on the other hand, offer enhanced chemical resistance, providing a robust barrier against spills and chemical exposure. Alpine Painting & Sandblasting employs cutting-edge complex coating solutions that withstand the harshest chemicals, ensuring longevity and safety for pharmaceutical facility floors.
Seamless and Impermeable Surface
In pharmaceutical facilities, maintaining a seamless and impermeable floor surface is vital to prevent the growth of bacteria, molds, and other contaminants. Complex coatings create a uniform, smooth, and impervious surface, leaving no room for microorganisms to thrive. The absence of seams and joints in the floor also simplifies cleaning and disinfection, adhering to the stringent cleanliness standards of the pharmaceutical industry.
Thermal Shock and Impact Resistance
Pharmaceutical facilities often undergo rapid temperature changes due to various processes and equipment. Traditional floor coatings may crack or delaminate under such thermal shock, compromising the floor's integrity. Complex coatings, however, exhibit exceptional thermal shock resistance, ensuring the floor remains intact even under extreme temperature variations. Moreover, they also offer impact resistance, protecting the floor from heavy equipment and machinery commonly used in pharmaceutical facilities.
Anti-Static Properties
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a significant concern in pharmaceutical facilities as it can damage sensitive equipment and compromise the quality of pharmaceutical products. Complex coatings can be formulated with anti-static properties to effectively dissipate static electricity, preventing ESD-related issues and safeguarding sensitive equipment and production processes.
Slip Resistance and Safety
The safety of employees and visitors in pharmaceutical facilities is of utmost importance. Complex coatings can be engineered to offer slip-resistant surfaces, minimizing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Alpine Painting & Sandblasting knows how much safety matters in the pharmaceutical industry and provides tailored complex coatings to enhance traction and reduce potential hazards on the facility floors.
