Pressing Flooring Challenges in Automobile Parts Manufacturing
Prior to the renovation, the factory’s production workshops, assembly lines, and material storage areas were paved with traditional concrete floors and ordinary floor tiles. These surfaces failed to withstand the rigors of industrial operations. Firstly, the concrete floors were prone to dusting and cracking under the weight of heavy machinery and frequent forklift traffic, leading to debris contamination of precision auto parts. Secondly, ordinary tiles lacked chemical resistance, easily corroded by lubricants, coolants, and cleaning agents commonly used in production, resulting in surface damage and slippery areas. Thirdly, the poor slip resistance of the old flooring posed severe safety risks for workers, especially in wet or oil-stained sections. Additionally, the high maintenance costs of repairing cracked concrete and replacing damaged tiles disrupted production schedules and increased operational expenses.
Why Industrial-Grade Homogeneous Through-Colour PVC Flooring Was Chosen
After extensive market research and on-site evaluations, the factory’s management team selected industrial-grade homogeneous through-colour PVC flooring from Dajulong, a trusted provider of industrial flooring solutions. This decision was driven by the product’s unique advantages that perfectly matched the factory’s needs. The homogeneous through-colour structure ensures exceptional wear resistance, capable of withstanding the impact of heavy machinery and constant forklift movement without cracking or dusting. Its dense, non-porous surface offers superior resistance to oils, greases, solvents, and industrial disinfectants, preventing corrosion and maintaining a clean environment.
Moreover, the flooring achieves an R10 slip resistance rating, significantly reducing the risk of workplace accidents even in wet conditions. It also boasts a 99% antibacterial rate (compliant with ISO22196), crucial for maintaining hygiene in areas where parts are processed and stored. The factory team verified the product’s reliability through on-site factory inspections, reviewing production processes, material test reports, and past industrial project cases.
Project Implementation & Remarkable Operational Improvements
Following three months of customized solution optimization and sample testing, the factory officially placed an order for 15,000 square meters of industrial-grade homogeneous through-colour PVC flooring. The construction team adopted a phased installation approach to minimize production disruption, completing the entire project in 75 days. Key areas including the main production workshop, precision assembly line, and parts storage warehouse were fully upgraded.
The upgrade delivered transformative results. The new flooring eliminated dust contamination, improving the quality of auto parts and reducing defective rates by 18%. Its chemical resistance and easy-to-clean properties cut daily cleaning time by 35% and annual maintenance costs by 62%. Most importantly, the slip-resistant surface achieved zero flooring-related accidents in the first six months post-installation. This successful project not only enhanced the factory’s operational efficiency and safety but also set a benchmark for flooring upgrades in the automobile parts manufacturing industry.
