Unsealed or uncoated concrete is an extremely porous material that is susceptible to chemical damage. If you have a concrete floor that needs to resist chemicals, consider applying a coating. These coatings can provide excellent chemical resistance while protecting the existing concrete surface. Here are four types of concrete floor coating products that can help protect your concrete floor from chemicals: 1. Acid-Based Sealers These sealers work by penetrating deep into the pores of your concrete flooring and filling them with a layer that protects against staining and other damage caused by harsh chemicals.

Manufacturers design hoses from rubber to manage different fluid, pressure and temperature ranges. The typical rubber hose has three layers. Firstly, you get a seamless rubber tube made out of synthetic material. They reinforce this with several layers of braided cotton or synthetic fibre. The last step is to cover the entire setup with a top layer. Ideally, the inner part of the tube should have a design and material that withstands attack from the fluid passing through it.

While Northern Hemisphere countries often use pipe insulation to prevent freezing in cold weather (and thus prevent bursting when the pipe thaws), Australia uses pipe lagging mostly for protection against thermal transfer and to dampen noise, particularly from water and wastewater in pipes. Not all buildings will have proper pipe lagging, particularly older ones that were never remodelled. If you're upgrading an old industrial space, lagging is an addition that you should add as it will save money and hopefully reduce noise pollution.
