Food & Beverage Epoxy Flooring

Food processing plants demand flooring that meets stringent USDA and FDA compliance standards while enduring relentless daily abuse from heavy equipment, chemical wash-downs, and extreme temperature swings. Our urethane cement systems create a monolithic, non-porous surface that eliminates joints and seams where bacteria, mold, and contaminants can harbor -- a critical requirement for facilities subject to regular health inspections and HACCP protocols.

These environments routinely expose floors to caustic cleaning agents, acidic byproducts, animal fats, and hot water or steam sanitization cycles. Our chemically resistant coatings withstand prolonged contact with organic acids, sodium hydroxide, and other harsh substances without softening, blistering, or delaminating from the concrete substrate. Integrated cove base transitions seal the wall-to-floor junction to eliminate harborage points that fail health inspections.

Thermal shock resistance is equally vital in food processing, where floors may transition from sub-zero freezer zones to hot production areas within feet of each other. Our slurry systems maintain bond integrity through repeated thermal cycling, preventing the cracks and failures that compromise sanitation and create costly downtime.

Winery production floors must withstand the relentless assault of tartaric acid, sulfites, tannins, and other wine byproducts that aggressively attack unprotected concrete and inferior coatings. Our FDA-compliant urethane cement systems provide a chemically inert barrier that resists prolonged exposure to these organic acids, ensuring the production floor remains intact through decades of crush seasons and barrel transfers.

Sanitation requirements in winery environments are non-negotiable -- any crack, pit, or failed joint in the flooring becomes a harbor for spoilage organisms like Brettanomyces and acetobacter that can contaminate entire vintages. Our seamless, non-porous coatings eliminate these risks by creating a monolithic surface that can be thoroughly sanitized with aggressive cleaning protocols without degrading the floor itself.

We also address the practical demands of winery operations, including resistance to forklift traffic from barrel and case handling, proper drainage slopes in crush pad and tank areas, and integrated cove base transitions at walls and columns that eliminate the vulnerable floor-to-wall joint where contamination often begins. Thorough diamond grinding preparation ensures a lasting bond to the concrete substrate.

Dairy processing facilities operate under some of the most demanding flooring conditions in the food industry, with constant exposure to lactic acid, milk fats, hot CIP wash cycles, and aggressive sanitizers including peracetic acid and chlorinated alkaline solutions. Our USDA and FDA compliant urethane cement flooring delivers the chemical resistance, thermal shock tolerance, and seamless hygiene that dairy operations require to pass regulatory inspections and maintain product safety.

Temperature extremes are a defining challenge in dairy environments -- floors near pasteurizers and HTST units experience high heat, while adjacent cold-storage and packaging areas may sit near freezing. Our coatings bridge these thermal zones without joint failures or delamination, providing a continuous, crack-free surface that prevents moisture migration and microbial contamination between production zones.

Slip resistance and drainage are critical safety concerns in dairy facilities where floors are perpetually wet from product spillage and sanitation protocols. We engineer proper slope-to-drain profiles and broadcast anti-slip aggregates from our quartz systems into the coating, then finish with integrated cove base at all wall and equipment pads to eliminate harborage points and ensure every square inch of the floor can be effectively cleaned and inspected.
