Why factories across Bangladesh are switching
Bangladesh’s industrial base is expanding faster than most flooring contractors can keep up with — new garment units in Gazipur, pharmaceutical plants around Dhaka EPZ, cold storage chains in Rangpur, and food processing facilities scattered across Chattogram and Narayanganj. Every one of these facilities eventually runs into the same wall: ordinary concrete or tile floors simply cannot survive the chemical spills, thermal shocks, forklift traffic, and hygiene audits that modern industry demands.
That is where PU flooring has quietly become the standard specification for serious industrial and commercial projects. At MidtechBD, we’ve spent years on factory floors — literally — grinding concrete, mixing resins, and troubleshooting flooring failures for clients who couldn’t afford downtime.
Common failure points we’re called in to fix:
- Concrete dusting and spalling under constant forklift and trolley movement
- Floor cracking from thermal expansion in boiler rooms and hot process areas
- Chemical and oil staining ordinary paint or epoxy can't resist long-term
- Slippery wet floors causing worker injuries in food and cold storage areas
- Bacterial growth in porous concrete or tile grout in hygiene-sensitive plants
What is PU flooring, exactly?
PU flooring (polyurethane flooring) is a multi-layer resin flooring system built from polyurethane and polyurethane-cement hybrid resins. Unlike epoxy, which is more rigid and brittle, polyurethane resins retain a degree of flexibility even after full cure — giving superior resistance to thermal shock, mechanical impact, and micro-cracking.
The result is a jointless, hygienic, chemically resistant floor that can be tuned — through thickness and formulation — to suit anything from a light-duty office corridor to a heavy-duty production floor under constant trolley and forklift traffic. See the system build-up diagram above: primer, body coat, self-levelling layer, and top coat, each doing a specific structural job.
Why PU flooring matters in Bangladesh specifically
BD-01
Monsoon humidity
High humidity and monsoon moisture stress concrete and encourage bacterial growth on porous surfaces — PU’s non-porous finish prevents this.
BD-02
Hot-water washdowns
Food, beverage, and dairy plants need surfaces that handle thermal cycling without cracking, unlike plain tiles or epoxy long-term.
BD-03
Cold-chain growth
Blast-freezing and cold storage facilities need flooring rated for repeated freeze-thaw cycles — a job for cementitious PU systems.
BD-04
Export compliance
RMG, pharma, and food export facilities are audited against BSCI, WRAP, GMP, and HACCP standards where seamless flooring is effectively required.
BD-05
Heavy mechanical traffic
Sewing trolleys, forklifts, and pallet trucks wear down standard finishes fast — PU is formulated for this exact load profile.
BD-06
Cost of downtime
Shutting a production line to fix flooring costs far more than specifying the right system the first time.
What you actually get.
Thirteen measurable performance properties that separate a correctly specified PU system from a basic coating.
Seamless surface
No grout lines or joints where dirt, bacteria, or liquids collect — simpler hygiene audits.
Heavy-duty performance
Handles forklifts, pallet trucks, and constant wheel traffic without surface breakdown.
Chemical resistance
Withstands acids, alkalis, oils, solvents, and industrial cleaning agents.
Abrasion resistance
Resists scratching and wear from continuous mechanical movement far better than tile or plain concrete.
Thermal shock resistance
Tolerates sudden temperature swings from washdowns or freezer cycling without cracking.
Hot water resistance
Ideal for kitchens, dairies, and plants using high-temperature steam or water cleaning.
Slip resistance
Textured PU systems meet safety requirements in wet-process areas.
Hygienic surface
Non-porous and easy to sanitize, aligned with HACCP and GMP flooring expectations.
Easy cleaning
Smooth, seamless finish means faster washdowns and lower cleaning labor cost.
Moisture resistance
Performs reliably in humid conditions and areas with frequent water exposure.
Long lifespan
10–15+ years in industrial use, versus 2–4 years for lower-grade coatings.
Low maintenance cost
Fewer repairs, less downtime, lower long-term upkeep than tiles or epoxy.
Six PU systems, one for every load profile
Not every facility needs the same PU system — specification depends on load, chemical exposure, temperature range, and hygiene requirements.
SYS-01
PU Coating
Thinner, roller- or spray-applied layer suited to light-to-medium duty areas — corridors, offices, light warehouses.
SYS-02
PU Self-Levelling
Medium thickness (2–4mm) for a smooth, glossy, seamless finish. Popular in pharma and food packaging areas.
SYS-03
PU Screed
Heavy-duty, trowel-applied system (4–9mm) for high-impact production halls and manufacturing zones.
SYS-04
Cementitious PU
PU-cement hybrid for wet, hot, thermally aggressive environments — kitchens, dairy, food processing lines.
SYS-05
Anti-Slip PU
Textured, aggregate-broadcast finish for wet-process areas, ramps, and walkways where safety is priority one.
SYS-06
ESD PU Flooring
Conductive, static-dissipative system for electronics assembly and pharma cleanrooms.

The installation process
A durable PU floor depends far more on installation quality than on the resin brand alone.
Site inspection
Assess existing floor condition, traffic patterns, chemical exposure, and client requirements.
Moisture testing
Measure concrete moisture content — excess moisture is the single biggest cause of delamination.
Concrete grinding
Mechanically grind or shot-blast to remove laitance and open pores for resin bonding.
Crack repair
Repair existing cracks, joints, and surface defects before coating begins.
Primer application
Seal the concrete and create a strong mechanical and chemical bond for later layers.
Body coat
Apply a reinforced layer to build thickness, strength, and load-bearing capacity.
Self-levelling layer
Where specified, pour and spread a self-levelling PU layer for a flat, seamless finish.
Top coat
Apply the final protective layer for chemical resistance, gloss, color, and slip texture.
Curing
Leave under controlled conditions before opening to traffic, per system type and ambient conditions.
Final quality inspection
Check thickness, adhesion, finish uniformity, and slip resistance before handover.

Project consultation process
Knitwear factory, Gazipur
Production floor upgrade for a knitwear garment factory
Challenge: The client’s painted concrete floor was dusting heavily and cracking under constant trolley traffic — a housekeeping problem and a compliance risk ahead of a buyer audit.
Solution: Full concrete grinding, crack repair, and a 4mm PU screed system selected for heavy trolley traffic and long-term durability, phased over three weekends to avoid disrupting production.
Result: A dust-free, easy-to-clean floor, positive feedback during the client’s buyer compliance audit, and no reported flooring issues in the first year of operation.

Frequently asked questions
PU flooring is used in industrial and commercial facilities that require a durable, seamless, chemically resistant surface — including factories, food plants, pharmaceutical units, cold storage, and hospitals.
A correctly specified and installed PU flooring system can last 10–15 years or more under normal industrial conditions, depending on traffic load and maintenance.
PU flooring generally offers better flexibility, thermal shock resistance, and hot water resistance than epoxy, making it more suitable for food, pharma, and heavy industrial environments.
Pricing depends on system type and thickness, typically ranging from around BDT 180 to BDT 1,200 per square foot. A free site inspection is required for an exact quotation.
