What is Saltillo to SINE México?
Saltillo, Coahuila, along with its metropolitan area (Ramos Arizpe and Arteaga), represents one of Mexico's most dynamic and demanding industrial clusters, with a special focus on the automotive, metalworking, logistics, and heavy manufacturing sectors.
For SINE México, Saltillo is a critical service hub where we deploy high-specification industrial engineering and infrastructure solutions. We address the critical needs of production plants through:
- High-Resistance Industrial Floors: Epoxy systems, cementitious urethanes, self-leveling, and wear layers designed to withstand heavy forklift traffic and pallet dragging.
- Facility Maintenance: Structural painting, industrial waterproofing, metal roof maintenance, and corrosion control.
- Civil Works and Foundations: Construction of machinery pits, press bases, retaining walls, and industrial building adaptations.
- Specialized Coatings: Anti-corrosion protection for pipes, storage tanks, and steel structures under high durability specifications.
When is SINE's support needed in Saltillo?
Plant managers and maintenance superintendents in the Saltillo region should consider SINE México's intervention when facing the following operational signs:
- Detachment or cracks in concrete floors: Presence of potholes, damaged control joints, or detachment of previous coatings that obstruct the free movement of forklifts.
- Preparation for quality or safety audits: Urgent requirement for area demarcation (5S), pedestrian walkways, safety signage, and application of food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade floors.
- Expansion of production lines or installation of new machinery: Need for special foundations, pits, or structural adaptations in the facility.
- Leaks in industrial roofs: Persistent leaks in SSR (Standing Seam Roof) sheets or translucent sheets that put raw material or finished product at risk.
- Visible corrosion on metal structures: Loss of section in columns, trusses, and supports due to chemical agents or environmental humidity.
Problems SINE México solves in your plant
Our technical interventions eliminate the most common headaches in industrial asset management:
- Unscheduled production shutdowns: We repair damaged joints and floors in record time to prevent forklift accidents and damage to the suspension of loading equipment.
- Cross-contamination risks: We install sanitary coves and monolithic cementitious urethane floors that prevent bacterial accumulation in food or medical manufacturing plants.
- Fines and observations in audits: We align your facilities with STPS regulations and international standards (ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 / ISO 45001).
- Loss of asset value: We stop the natural deterioration of the industrial building through preventive and corrective structural painting and waterproofing programs.
Benefits for your plant in Saltillo
- Operational Continuity: We schedule our activities to work night shifts, weekends, or during technical shutdowns, avoiding production stoppages.
- Regulatory Compliance: We guarantee that all materials and processes comply with standards such as NOM-001-STPS (buildings, premises, and facilities) and NOM-026-STPS (colors and safety signs).
- Extended Return on Investment (ROI): By using materials from leading brands and mechanical surface preparation, we extend the lifespan of floors and coatings for up to 10 years with proper maintenance.
- Workplace Safety: Floors with anti-slip textures (adequate anchor profile) that reduce slips and falls of operational personnel to zero.

High-specification materials and technologies
We do not compromise on the quality of inputs. We work hand-in-hand with leading global manufacturers to ensure the chemical and mechanical compatibility of each system:
- Sika (Sikafloor, SikaScreed): Fast-curing solutions, repair mortars, and high-strength self-leveling systems.
- Sherwin-Williams (General Polymers): High-gloss epoxy and polyurethane coatings with excellent color retention and abrasion resistance.
- BASF / Master Builders Solutions: MasterTop line cementitious urethanes, ideal for withstanding extreme thermal shock from -40°C to 120°C.
- Fosroc: Concrete admixtures, polyurethane joint sealants, and high-specification elastomers for expansion joints.
Applicable Regulations and Standards
Our projects are executed in strict compliance with national and international regulations:
- NOM-001-STPS-2008: Safety and hygiene conditions in workplaces.
- NOM-026-STPS-2008: Safety and hygiene colors and signs, and identification of risks from fluids conveyed in pipes.
- ASTM C309: Standard Specification for Liquid Membrane-Forming Compounds for Curing Concrete.
- ACI 302.1R: Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction from the American Concrete Institute.
- HACCP / FDA / NSF: For projects in the food and beverage industry that require 100% aseptic and VOC-free (Volatile Organic Compounds) surfaces.
Our work process (SINE México)
- Technical Diagnosis: On-site visit in Saltillo or Ramos Arizpe to evaluate the substrate condition, measure humidity, concrete hardness (sclerometer), and hydrocarbon contaminants.
- Engineering Proposal: Presentation of the optimal solution detailing thicknesses, materials, execution times, and safety plan.
- Surface Preparation: Critical phase for success. We perform diamond grinding, shot blasting, or mechanical scarification to open pores and ensure chemical adhesion.
- System Application: Installation of primary (primers) vapor barriers (if required), intermediate coats, leveling mortars, and wear finishes.
- Joint Sealing: Treatment and sealing of control and expansion joints with semi-rigid polyurethanes to withstand hard wheel traffic.
- Quality Control and Delivery: Dry film thickness measurement, adhesion tests, and delivery of a quality dossier with a written warranty policy.
Common mistakes when hiring / installing (And how we avoid them)
- Omitting concrete moisture testing: Applying epoxies on slabs with more than 4% relative humidity generates blisters (osmosis). SINE measures humidity with precision hygrometers and applies epoxy vapor barriers if necessary.
- Poor surface preparation: The use of hydrochloric acid weakens concrete and does not create the proper anchor profile. We mechanically prepare surfaces under ICRI standards.
- Failure to properly treat control joints: Filling joints with rigid materials causes the floor to fracture with structural movements. We use elastomeric sealants with high Shore A hardness.
