Belden Chemical Resistant Floor Brick o ottier kind of flooring offers such a wide range aggressive corrosives elevated temperatures - as a chem- ical resistant brick/multiple component flooring system. Monolithic floors can lose bond with the substrate, or split apart, when a crack develops in the substrate, resulting in extensive damage to the floor's chemical resistance. On the other hand, the three-way protection of chemical resistant brick, chemical resistant mortar, and a chemical resistant membrane provides the kind of pro- tective redundancy important in sheltering an operation from work Chemical resistant Belden Brick floors successfully combine the qualities of low maintenance cost, long service life, resistance to im- pact and abrasion, cleanliness, and efficient appearance, all while pro- viding exceptional chemical and abrasion resistance. The importance of these char- many destructive physical and chemical forces to which industrial floors are subjected on a continuing basis. Within a single area of opera- tions the floor may be expected to withstand thermal shock, water, wheeled traffic, oils, acids and alkalis. Abrasion and impact from heavy materials represent additional destructive forces. Floors requiring chemical resistant characteristics are divided into two broad classifications: General In- dustrial Floors - those found in plating processes, papermills, pickling tank operations, chemical process- Food Plant floors - usually required in dairies, meat processing plants, bakeries, industrial laboratories and similar environments where an attrac- tive appearance is desirable, along with ease of sanitary maintenance. Qudlity . from the very beginning Belden chemical resistant floor brick are carefully manufactured of the highest quality American shales and fire clays. These materials are specifically formulated and blended for density and strength before being fired at over 2000° F. The resultant floor brick is resistant not only to virtually all corrosive liquids with the exception of acid fluorides heavy physical abuse of industrial FOR EXTRA IMPACT RESISTANCE: VERTICAL FIBRE BRICK Belden Vertical Fibre Floor Brick are the logical choice Jor installations requiring surer footing and exceptional impact resistance. Typically, areas of oil or grease spillage or caustic soap exposure call for vertical fibre brick. Belden vertical fibre chemical resistant brick offers slip resistance equal to that of abrasive-style flooring. Moreover, they retain their non- skid surface for a lifetime under all operating conditions. For particularly critical applications, or those involving hard-to-remove resin-based mortars, Belden vertical fibre floor brick are available pre- waxed for an additional charge. Mortar manufacturers should be consulted tot their recommendations in connection with chemical resistant brick construction.
