High-durability floors for the textile industry in southern India

摘要

Southern India has long been the home of the country's textile manufacturing industry. The machines that process the cotton and then weave the fabric are very labour intensive. The throughput is enormous, as is the damage to the huge warehouse and factory floor areas. These floors have traditionally been put down by manual labour using a 20MPa concrete. A surface hardener is usually applied to help prevent the damage caused by the workload.
