USDA Approved Epoxy Flooring for Food & Beverage Processing Facilities

Flooring Built for Compliance and Performance

Flooring for food and beverage facilities has to perform under some of the harshest conditions in any industrial environment. In addition to withstanding forklifts, spills, temperature swings, and chemical exposure, your flooring must meet strict United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. That’s why our epoxy flooring for food processing facilities and urethane cement systems are engineered to handle daily operations and long-term durability.

Our food processing floor coatings can be installed with slope-to-drain designs, integral cove bases, and thermal shock-resistant layers to handle steam cleaning and washdowns without cracking. These details make the difference between flooring that causes compliance concerns and flooring that performs seamlessly for decades.

Matching the Flooring System to Your Facility’s Zone

Every food factory flooring project is unique. A bottling facility has very different requirements than a meat processing plant or a commercial bakery. That’s why we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we evaluate your operation, sanitation practices, and traffic patterns before recommending the best food processing floor coatings for your environment.

We specialize in coatings for beverage facilities that demand slip resistance, easy cleanability, and high light reflectivity for improved visibility. In contrast, meat and poultry processing plants often require antimicrobial additives and impact-resistant surfaces that hold up under heavy-duty use. Our team matches the system to your exact needs, giving you confidence in long-term compliance and safety.

The choice between epoxy, urethane cement, and MMA depends entirely on factors like temperature, moisture, and traffic.

For High-Temperature and Moisture-Heavy Areas

Cook/kettle areas, pasteurization zones, and hot washdown stations create extreme thermal shock that can cause standard epoxy floors to crack and fail. Urethane Cement is the premier solution for the most demanding environments. Its unique composition allows it to expand and contract with the concrete slab, preventing delamination and preserving a hygienic, seamless surface.

For Dry Processing, Packaging, and Traffic Aisles

These areas require high durability against forklift traffic, abrasion, and chemical spills, but do not experience the same level of thermal shock. High-Solids Epoxy Flooring is the durable, cost-effective workhorse for these zones. It has excellent abrasion resistance and is easy to clean.

For Projects Requiring Minimal Downtime

Many food and beverage plants operate 24/7, and downtime for facility upgrades must be minimized or eliminated. MMA flooring is the fastest-curing system. It can be fully cured and ready for service in as little as one hour per coat, making it the ultimate solution for rapid repairs or weekend installations.
