Magneisum oxide for Magnesia based industrial floors are heavy duty floors based upon Sorel cement. Sorel cement is a hydraulic cement mixture of magnesium oxide (calcined magnesia) and magnesium chloride which is usually combined with filler materials such as sand, aggregates, talcum and pigments.
Magnesia based industrial floors have been initially used in residential and industrial constructions. It is worth mentioning that the floors of the first wagons of the Paris Metro were laid with Sorel cement, thanks to their resistance in shocks and continual vibration. Another specialized application is in shipbuilding for the interior decks of war and merchant vessels.
