High-Performance Flooring | Southern Champion Tray

At CFC, we understand that every square foot of your facility serves a purpose—and sometimes, those purposes are vastly different. That was exactly the case with our recent project for Southern Champion Tray, where durability, resilience, and customization were key to success.

Project Overview: Dye Room Transformation

We were brought in to provide a concrete flooring solution for two distinct areas within the Southern Champion Tray facility: the high-impact Dye Room and a material storage zone. The total project area spanned 5,868 square feet, with each section requiring a unique approach to ensure performance, longevity, and safety.

Dye Room Specifications (1,806 sq ft):

  • Expansion Joint Work: 209 linear feet of engineered expansion joints were expertly filled to allow for concrete movement while maintaining coating integrity.

  • Surface Prep: The concrete was mechanically ground to ensure optimal adhesion of the industrial coating system

  • Coating System: We applied a three-part epoxy system with a scratch-resistant, aluminum oxide-infused urethane topcoat for maximum durability and slip resistance.

    • Color: Medium Gray

    • Layer 1: SurfKoat 1040 Bond Primer

    • Layer 2: SurfKoat 250HP Epoxy (Pigmented)

    • Layer 3: SurfKoat 6000WB Urethane Topcoat with Anti-Slip Additive

This multi-layer system was specifically chosen to withstand forklift traffic, chemical exposure, and to enhance slip resistance, ensuring a safer, longer-lasting work environment in this high-traffic zone.

Ceramic Coating Area (4,062 sq ft):

For the adjacent material storage area, the priority was durability and ease of maintenance. We applied a ceramic coating system designed to clean and seal the surface using advanced covalent bonding technology. This solution not only extends the life of the concrete but also simplifies routine cleaning and upkeep.

Unique Project Considerations

The project was completed over newly poured, sodium densified, trowel-finished concrete—a pristine but challenging surface that required precise preparation to ensure proper adhesion and coating performance.

“One thing that stood out on this job was the level of customization needed for each area. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—every square foot had to be treated with its specific use in mind.”
 — Matt Jeffery, Owner
