The food and beverage industry faces unique challenges that can degrade typical flooring solutions. Vegetable oils, animal fats, dairy products, and sugars all contain acids that attack and break down conventional epoxy flooring. Additionally, steel-wheeled carts, dragged crates, and forklifts present further challenges for processing plants operating under high-volume conditions.
These environments also contend with constantly wet settings, repeated wash-downs with harsh cleaners, temperature extremes, and frequent high-pressure hosing. To address these conditions, a durable floor that resists tough challenges and is easy to clean, slip-resistant, and quickly installed is essential to avoid disrupting daily operations.
Benefits of Epoxy Flooring:
- Chemical Resistance: Withstands acids and harsh cleaners without degrading, ensuring a long-lasting floor.
- Durability: Handles heavy equipment and high traffic without damage, reducing maintenance costs.
- Slip Resistance: Provides a safer working environment, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Ease of Maintenance: Simple to clean and maintain, saving time and effort.
- Quick Installation: Minimizes downtime during installation, keeping operations running smoothly.
- Thermal Shock Resistance: Tolerates temperature extremes without compromising the floor’s integrity.
