Hung Phu Industrial Park in Cai Rang, in the south-east of Can Tho City and beside the Hau river, is not one uniform site. It is a cluster of three subzones: Hung Phu 1, Hung Phu 2A and Hung Phu 2B. The cluster was established in 2005 and is developed by Saigon – Can Tho Industrial Park Corporation. Because the three subzones were formed for different roles, with different factory stock and different industry mixes, there is no single answer to the question of which epoxy system fits Hung Phu. The right answer always depends on the subzone and on the functional zone inside the factory.
On naming: this article keeps the familiar name “Hung Phu Industrial Park, Can Tho” because that is how readers search for it. Administratively, from 01/07/2025, Hau Giang and Soc Trang were merged into Can Tho City, and this article does not treat the old name as a current administrative unit.
Unlike the broader Can Tho and Mekong Delta cluster overview — where Hung Phu appears only as a southern gateway among several parks — this article is about Hung Phu alone: its three subzones, its industries and its common floor types, and one point that no floor buyer here can afford to skip: Hung Phu 1 cluster B is being shrunk.
First, the fact that changes everything: Hung Phu 1 cluster B is being downsized
According to press reporting in January 2026, Hung Phu 1 cluster B covers about 141 ha in its detailed plan, but in reality only just over 30 ha has been handed to the park developer and is operating stably with secondary investors in production. The remaining area, about 110 ha, is still residents land that has not yet been cleared. The Can Tho City leadership agreed to reduce cluster B to about 30.24 ha, keep the area already developed, and stop calling for infrastructure investment on the rest; the released area is to be studied for other uses fitting the urban development direction, because cluster B now sits inside the urban core.
The same reporting notes that, twenty years after establishment, the area still has no wastewater treatment system and site clearance is incomplete. The Can Tho promotion board operating table (August 2025) tells the same story on scale: Hung Phu 1 is listed at 58.57 ha, made up of cluster A at 28.33 ha and cluster B at 30.24 ha — the operating scale, not the old planned scale. Older listings still quoted on many sales pages — Hung Phu 1 at about 262 ha, Hung Phu 2A at about 134 ha, Hung Phu 2B at about 67 ha — are recorded in this article explicitly as old planned figures, not as the area operating today.
For a floor buyer, the consequences are practical. First, do not settle a floor specification from a park brochure; settle it from your own plot and factory — whether it sits in the retained part or in the part awaiting a change of function. Second, do not assume shared park infrastructure is complete; a site survey must confirm drainage, slab load and working conditions for that specific factory. Third, for factories already operating in the retained part, the floor job is mainly renovation and phased work, not flooring for empty land with no factory yet.
Three subzones, three floor problems
Hung Phu 1 cluster A: a warehouse and logistics problem
Cluster A of Hung Phu 1 is described in older material as a logistics centre. Its floors carry a different load from production floors: fully loaded forklifts turning continuously, heavy pallets dragged across the surface, and pedestrian and vehicle routes sharing the same space. Warehouse floors here must absorb wear at turning points, keep grip on walkways, and carry clear painted lanes. The loading dock, where vehicles come and go and the slab changes from outdoors to indoors, deteriorates fastest and needs its own survey, rather than the same system as the rest of the warehouse.
Hung Phu 1 cluster B: a renovation problem inside a working park
The retained part of cluster B is where secondary investors are already in stable production. Slabs here often show years of use: cracked joints, oil stains, old coatings peeling in patches, and surfaces that are no longer level. The decisive step is not choosing a colour but surveying the slab properly: how well the old coating still adheres, how damp the slab is, which areas are heavily oil-contaminated, and which areas need only grinding and local repair. Some areas need only grinding back to sound concrete, crack repair, oil treatment and then recoating after an adhesion check; areas where peeling has spread widely must have the old coating fully removed. Phased work, handing back one zone at a time, is also a common requirement, because a factory cannot stop all production just to recoat a floor.
Hung Phu 2A: a mixed, multi-industry problem
Hung Phu 2A is a multi-industry park: mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics assembly, agricultural and aquatic processing, frozen and canned meat, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and warehouse and factory leasing. A factory here rarely needs a single floor type. General production needs a flat, low-dust surface that is easy to clean at the end of a shift; warehousing needs forklift and heavy pallet capacity; any high-cleanliness or electrostatic-control area (if present) needs its own answer. Mapping the system by zone from the start — which system for which zone, which zone carries load, which zone must stay clean — avoids coating a whole factory in one system and then finding the warehouse wearing fast and the production floor hard to clean.
Hung Phu 2B: a labour-intensive plant and large finished-goods warehouse problem
Hung Phu 2B is smaller in planned scale, about 67 ha, and most of its area is tied to one large footwear plant, with a small allocation for shipbuilding and repair. Secondary sources note that this subzone has no official infrastructure investor, so shared infrastructure should not be assumed to be complete. On floors, a labour-intensive plant has very specific needs: a low-dust surface that is easy to clean at the end of a shift, anti-slip walkways with clear markings for the large daily flow of people and trolleys, and a finished-goods warehouse that carries pallet and forklift loads. Fibre and material dust from footwear production also raises the dust-control and cleaning demands of the general production floor above those of a purely mechanical workshop.
Industries and common floor types at Hung Phu
Mechanical engineering and electronics assembly: flat, low-dust, sometimes electrostatic-controlled
Mechanical and electronics plants need a flat, seamless, low-dust floor, because dust and an uneven surface affect precision equipment and assembly directly. Where general production puts a premium on flatness, the self-levelling LevelFlow line is worth considering, because a self-flowing surface limits ripples and joints. Where a zone must control static electricity, the reference option is the StatGuard line; its boundary must be fixed on the drawing before work starts, together with grounding and testing under the factory’s own rules. Each factory applies its own standard, so this article gives no single figure for all of them.
Agricultural, aquatic and frozen food processing: separate wet from dry
For a food plant, the core requirement is a sealed surface with no joints trapping dirt, washed down regularly without staining or holding odour. Lasting hygiene also depends on the details: coved wall bases, sealed joints, and a wet zone separated from a dry zone from the layout stage. Wet receiving and preparation areas need slip resistance and moisture resistance, while dry packing areas and finished-goods stores put the weight on dust control and forklift capacity. The coating also needs its role kept in proportion: epoxy is one part of factory infrastructure, and a plant’s certification depends on its whole management and operating system, not on the coating alone.
Construction materials: abrasion and heavy loads
Construction materials production creates mineral dust, machine loads and heavy internal forklift traffic, plus a need to keep dust from spreading to other zones. Floors for this group need to be seamless, evenly abrasion-resistant and easy to clean at the end of a shift. Raw material and finished-goods storage should be separated on the floor map, because their loads and vehicle frequency differ sharply from production. The outdoor-to-indoor transition also deserves its own attention, because sand and dust carried in on wheels wear a floor far faster than indoor-only traffic.
Pharmaceuticals: a clean floor where it counts, a general floor elsewhere
A pharmaceutical plant does not need its whole site to meet the same floor standard. High-cleanliness zones need a seamless, flat, low-dust, easy-to-clean surface, usually tied to a self-levelling system; warehouses, walkways and technical areas can use a roller system with more moderate requirements. Separating the two groups from the start avoids paying for a premium system across the whole factory, and avoids under-specifying the zone that genuinely needs cleanliness. Near a live packing line, a low-odour water-based system such as AquaBase is worth considering, but its chemical resistance and load capacity for each zone must still be checked before it is fixed.
River-road warehousing and logistics: heavy loads, grip, lane marking
Hung Phu sits in the south-east of Can Tho, beside the Hau river, on the Nam Song Hau – Vo Nguyen Giap corridor, towards the Can Tho bridge and National Route 1. As a southern gateway, its internal warehouses serve both inbound factory flows and outbound road freight, while river transport suits heavy, bulky goods. Warehouse floors must therefore carry wear, keep grip on walkways and forklift turning points, and carry painted lanes so forklifts do not share routes with pedestrians. The RollCoat roller system fits general production areas and walkways with moderate requirements, applies quickly, and is easy to maintain zone by zone when local wear appears.
System map by functional zone
| Zone | System direction | Survey watch-out |
|---|---|---|
| General production, flat and clean | LevelFlow self-levelling | Slab flatness, moisture, end-of-shift dust |
| Zone with electrostatic-control requirement | StatGuard anti-static | Draw the boundary, grounding, testing to factory standard |
| General areas, walkways, moderate load | RollCoat roller | Walkway wear, local repair options |
| Operating area, odour-sensitive | AquaBase water-based | Effect on neighbouring lines, ventilation |
| Heavy warehouse, forklift turning points, docks | Survey first, then choose by load | Load, vehicle frequency, grip, lane marking, transition slab |
The table is a direction framework, not a price list or a technical guarantee for any specific factory. The final system is always fixed after a site survey of the slab.
Working at Hung Phu: points to settle in advance
First, Hung Phu is a riverside park on damp ground, so slab moisture risk is higher than on dry land. The programme should allow for thorough moisture measurement, settlement and crack checks, and a moisture-barrier primer where moisture exceeds the chosen system’s permitted level. Coating over a damp slab without treatment only moves the failure a few months later, at a higher repair cost. Second, because many factories here are operating, phased work, dust screening and a low-odour system near live lines reduce disruption to neighbouring production. Third, for an older factory in cluster B, the handover file should be prepared from the start: the slab survey record, system and coat count by zone, multi-point thickness results, and a record of peeling and ponding checks. A good-looking floor without a clear record can still cause disputes at handover.
Frequently asked questions about epoxy flooring at Hung Phu
Cluster B is being shrunk — should we still coat a floor there?
Yes, if your factory sits in the retained area and is operating stably — that is exactly the part kept as it is under the downsizing plan. What must be avoided is settling a contract from the old plan: confirm that your plot is in the retained part before signing, and favour phased renovation over extending a floor into an area whose future function is still undecided.
Must an old factory in cluster B strip all of its old coating?
Not necessarily. The decision rests on adhesion, moisture and actual peeling in each zone. Zones that still adhere well can be ground and recoated after local treatment; only zones with widespread peeling need full removal.
Which zones at Hung Phu genuinely need an anti-static floor?
Only zones with an electrostatic-control requirement under the factory’s own rules — usually part of an electronics plant or a quality inspection area — not the whole factory. Applying an anti-static system everywhere when only one zone needs it adds cost without adding operating value.
What information should we prepare to ask for advice?
When contacting us, state whether the factory is in Hung Phu 1, 2A or 2B, what industry it serves, how large each zone is, whether cleanliness or static control is required, what vehicles run on the floor and how often, whether the slab is old or new, and whether the plot is in the retained part or the part awaiting a change of function. With that much information, our team can suggest a system direction before a site survey and a detailed quote.
