Chemical-resistant coatings are an excellent way to protect concrete and steel from damage by acids and chemicals. These heavy duty coatings are available in a variety of colors and can add to the aesthetic of a workplace. They are typically more expensive than standard concrete coatings but often the peace of mind and added durability makes them well worth the extra cost.

The choice of a chemical resistant coating is determined by many factors such as the type and amount of the chemical(s) being exposed, whether it will be a contact or immersion exposure and if the coating needs to be able to withstand a certain temperature range. The substrate, whether it be metal or concrete also has a big impact on which coating is best for the job.
