Private aviators and aircraft maintenance facilities operating around Chehalis-Centralia Airport (CLS) and Olympia Regional Airport (OLM) understand that hangar concrete requires specialized chemical protection far beyond standard residential paint.
Aircraft maintenance inevitably involves exposure to harsh petrochemicals, including 100LL avgas, Jet-A fuel, isopropyl alcohol deicers, and hydraulic fluids. Phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids like Skydrol are notoriously destructive—a single leak will liquefy and blister standard residential epoxies within minutes.
Rochester Epoxy Flooring Pros installs multi-component aviation flooring systems engineered specifically to resist prolonged chemical immersion. Our heavy-build primers anchor deeply into diamond-ground concrete, followed by high-solids chemical-resistant urethane (CRU) or specialized polyaspartic topcoats that are 100% inert to Skydrol and aviation fuels.
High light reflectivity is another critical engineering requirement in modern hangars. High-gloss brilliant white or light platinum finishes bounce ceiling LED lighting underneath aircraft fuselages and wings. This eliminates dark shadows, providing technicians with crystal-clear visibility for pre-flight inspections and mechanical work.
These seamless floors easily support heavy multi-ton point-loads from aircraft landing gear, tugs, and hydraulic jacks. Furthermore, any fluid leaks or dropped mechanical cotter pins are immediately visible on the clean, glossy surface, enhancing flight safety and workshop organization.
