Pharmaceutical Industry Flooring Systems

Pharmaceutical Flooring refers to specialized flooring systems designed for pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, cleanrooms, laboratories, and other controlled environments where hygiene, chemical resistance, and contamination control are critical. These floors must comply with strict regulatory standards, including Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.

Key Features of Pharmaceutical Flooring:

1. Seamless & Non-Porous – Prevents microbial growth and allows easy cleaning.

2. Chemical Resistance – Withstands exposure to harsh disinfectants, solvents, and acids.

3. Anti-Static (ESD) Properties – Essential for areas with sensitive electronic equipment or explosive atmospheres.

4. Durable & Impact-Resistant – Handles heavy machinery and foot traffic.

5. Smooth & Easy to Clean – Meets GMP standards for hygiene (e.g., coved skirtings to prevent dirt accumulation).

6. Temperature & Thermal Shock Resistance – Suitable for sterilisation processes (e.g., autoclave areas).

Common Types of Pharmaceutical Flooring in the UK:

• Epoxy Resin Flooring – Highly chemical-resistant, seamless, and durable.

• Polyurethane (PU) Flooring – Flexible, thermal shock-resistant, and ideal for freeze/thaw conditions.

• Vinyl Flooring (e.g., Altro Whiterock or Polyflor SAFETY®) – Used in cleanrooms due to its smooth, anti-microbial surface.

• Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Flooring – Fast-curing, suitable for quick turnarounds in production areas.

Regulatory Compliance:

• GMP Annex 1 (for sterile manufacturing) requires floors to be smooth, cleanable, and resistant to disinfectants.

• ISO 14644 (cleanroom standards) mandates low particulate shedding.

• COSHH & EH40 guidelines influence chemical resistance requirements.

Applications:

• Sterile production areas

• Laboratories & QC zones

• Warehousing (with anti-slip properties)

• Aseptic filling suites
