Flooring Options for Food Processing Centers

Why Polyurea/Polyaspartic Coatings Are Ideal For The Food and Agriculture Industry

Food processing center flooring options

Agriculture and food processing centers are constantly battling sanitation and hygiene problems. In order to prevent the spread of foodborne illness, they must maintain a completely sterile environment. This can become extremely expensive to maintain and operate. However, there is a solution! Polyurea/polyaspartic coatings are the perfect floor option for agriculture and food processing centers. These coatings save on maintenance costs by creating an easy to clean, functional environment. 

What Are Polyurea/Polyaspartic Coatings? 

Polyureas and Polyaspartics are extremely durable coatings for residential, commercial and industrial applications. This coatings system consists of three layers (base coat, vinyl flake, top coat) and is a four step process. The process includes preparation, base coat, flake broadcast and then top coat.  

Cleanliness

This used to be expensive and time consuming, but thanks to our innovative coatings, they aren’t Polyurea/Polyaspartic coatings systems have antimicrobial and antibacterial properties so they naturally help prevent the growth of bacteria and mold/mildew. These concrete coatings are also extremely easy to clean and maintain. This makes maintenance a breeze a minimizes costs significantly. 

 

Durability

Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings are 4x stronger than epoxy and much more flexible and durable. They are very thin so they will move with the concrete as it expands and contracts during weather changes. This characteristic along with them being 100% UV stable makes them ideal for outdoor applications. In addition, they are very resistant to abrasions and chemicals. In fact, they are resistant to chemicals up to battery acid. 

Fast Installation

In as little as one day we can come in and remove your old, damaged flooring and apply our innovative concrete coatings that are guaranteed to last! Minimizing downtime not only saves you a headache, but it saves you money by allowing you to get back to business faster. In comparison, epoxy coatings typically take 3-5 to be installed. 

Wide Range of Temperature Applications

Another issue that is common in the food processing industry is properly storing food items. Different types of food has to be stored at certain temperatures in order to ensure freshness and avoid spoiling. Some food, like meat, requires freezing cold temperatures. On the other hand, juices and milk are best at cold temperatures. Other foods like fruits are best stored at warmer temperatures. 


This calls for a very resilient, versatile type of flooring. Not only will polyurea and polyaspartic coatings adhere properly in temperatures between -30ºF and 140ºF, but they will stand up to the elements as well. The freezing cold temperatures and condensation they cause will not affect or harm the coatings. Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings are waterproof and create a 100% on whatever surface they are applied to.
