USDA-Approved Epoxy Flooring
Industrial and commercial operations across sectors like food processing, pharmaceuticals and cannabis production require floors that meet strict USDA guidelines. Achieving USDA compliance starts with installing sanitary, durable surfaces that support safe operations and consistent facility maintenance. The most reliable path to compliant flooring is to work with a specialized epoxy resin flooring contractor capable of meeting USDA and FDA requirements for flooring and wall systems.
At Surface Technology Inc., we install USDA-compliant flooring systems that are seamless, durable, and built to meet the strict hygiene standards of regulated processing environments.
Factors to Consider When Choosing USDA-Approved Flooring
Under USDA guidelines for facilities handling food and beverages, USDA-compliant flooring must support frequent sanitation and prevent contamination. It is critical to select materials that resist moisture, withstand chemical exposure, and form a seamless, nonporous surface.
In high-risk areas like food prep zones or pharmaceutical manufacturing rooms, incorporating antimicrobial additives further enhances safety, creating an environment suitable for the preparation and handling of consumable goods. These floors must also deliver qualities like slip resistance, seamless installation, and reflectivity to support both regulatory demands and day-to-day operational needs.
At Surface Technology Inc., we install food-grade flooring with coved transitions at wall junctions — curved ramps that eliminate 90-degree corners — allowing for thorough washdowns and preventing debris accumulation. We also integrate antimicrobial agents to inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria on contact.
Resin Flooring for USDA Compliance
Resin flooring systems deliver a reliable solution for meeting USDA standards, thanks to their seamless surfaces and straightforward maintenance. Multiple resin-based material options are available, each with specific strengths depending on the facility’s application:
- Epoxy: Among the materials meeting food-grade requirements, food-grade epoxy flooring stands out for its strength, chemical resistance, and smooth finish. It is ideal for food processing areas frequently exposed to heavy traffic, spills, and moisture. This material is popular for its resistance to various chemicals, including oils, acids, and alkalis, making it a top choice for food and beverage facilities.
- Urethane cement: Urethane cement coatings offer increased resistance to rapid temperature changes and superior elasticity. They are ideal for areas with hot-water washdowns or frequent freeze–thaw cycles. Urethane cement floors are also highly resistant to abrasion and impact.
- MMA: Methyl methacrylate (MMA) coatings cure at low temperatures, making them suitable for freezer rooms and cold storage flooring.
- Polyurea: Polyurea provides a slightly flexible finish that resists heat, stains, and chemical exposure. It’s fast-curing and well-suited to food and beverage settings.
- Polyaspartic: Polyaspartic coatings deliver exceptional performance against abrasion, UV exposure, chemicals, and impacts.
Surface Technology Inc. will evaluate your facility’s temperature, traffic, chemical exposure, and other factors to recommend the optimal food-grade flooring material.
