A New Production Facility
FK System is located in the city of Brno in Czech Republic.
They specialize in surface treatment, specifically, the cleaning,
blasting, pickling and passivation of alloyed stainless steel.
FK System was founded in 1992 by Frantisek Kalny prior to

Shortly after the company was established, Kalny's sons joined the family business and ran it successfully for the next 30 years.

Stonhard Contracted to Provide Highest Quality Chemical
Resistant Products and Installation
To properly construct and run this new production facility, FK
System required a flooring solution that would withstand aggressive acids. The customer expectation was simple,

a highly cross-linked vinyl ester resin, provides a broad chemical resistance as well as excellent thermal stability to withstand thermal shock and chemical attack. Stonchem 800 Series is best against exposures to concentrated organic acids, moderate to strong inorganic acids, alkalis, and most solvents.
