Dear Nick,
in the sample preparation areas of our beamlines we had the same
problem.
We have a new floor since mid 2009 and are so far happy with it. It was
supplied by the IRL Industrial Flooring Group/Flowcrete UK
(www.irlgroup.co.uk and www.flowcrete.com)
The floor is Cat 3 compatible.
Hope this helps,
Ralf

Subject: [ccp4bb] Liquid nitrogen resistant flooring
Can anyone recommend a floor coating that passes category 2 containment
(ie not wood) that is resistant to liquid nitrogen. Ie you can fill
dewars on without cracking. Various solutions our estates people have
fitted have all proved unsatisfactory.
Bets wishes
Nick
