Floors and Coatings that Meet the Challenges of the Food Industry
The food industry presents unique challenges when it comes to maintaining safe and functional environments. Zimcoat understands the rigorous demands of food production, manufacturing, and preparation facilities, providing industry-leading industrial floor coating solutions tailored to these specific needs. Our expertise and wide portfolio of high-performance, CFIA-approved products make us the go-to choice for ensuring your facility meets the highest standards of functionality, compliance, hygiene, health, and safety.
Corrosive Environments
Food production facilities often deal with corrosive substances such as animal waste, by-products of production, and harsh chemicals used for washdowns. These can severely damage flooring over time, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.
Temperature Extremes
The food industry requires flooring solutions that can withstand extreme temperature variations. From hot ovens to cold storage freezers, floors must remain durable and safe under constant thermal stress.
Constant Moisture and High Traffic
Food production areas are perpetually wet, creating a need for flooring that can handle moisture without compromising safety or durability. Additionally, high traffic from personnel and equipment results in wear and tear that exceeds typical flooring demands.
Compliance and Safety Standards
Meeting industry standards and maintaining compliance is non-negotiable in the food industry. Proper flooring solutions contribute to overall safety, hygiene, and operational efficiency, ensuring that facilities remain up to code.
