ADVERTORIAL Technical Finishes
Flooring for the food and beverage industry: From the ground, up
In the food and beverage industry, choosing a flooring system is not just a matter of aesthetics – it also impacts operations and overall facility compliance.
Polyscreed ® polyurethane( PU) industrial flooring from Technical Finishes is the ideal solution. It provides benefits that meet the unique demands of this industry. Our range includes polyurethane systems ranging from 2.5 to 4mm self-levelling systems designed for dry process areas, to heavy-duty 9mm polyurethane screeds designed for areas with high traffic volumes requiring ultimate chemical and slip resistance. In addition, we also offer a decorative flake system sealed with a highperformance, UV-stable MMA resin, ideal for applications where durability and fast turnaround are required.
Built-in hygiene technology
Hygiene is of utmost importance in food-processing and preparation spaces. What makes Polyscreed ® PU flooring systems superior is the incorporation of silverion technology. This inhibits the growth of bacteria and micro-organisms on the floor’ s surface.
This unique additive remains active for the entire lifespan of the floor. Its non-porous finish prevents liquids and food particles from penetrating the surface, making cleaning easier and reducing the risk of potential contamination.
The flooring is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points( HACCP)-approved for handling, processing and production areas involving both wet and dry food.
Additionally, the ability to endure thermal shock and fluctuations in temperature makes these systems wellsuited to environments where temperature variations occur during cleaning processes and operations.
Safety
Polyscreed ® PU flooring systems enhance safety in food and beverage environments by offering customisable surface profiles with broadcast aggregates that improve slip resistance.
This significantly reduces the risk of accidents, particularly in areas prone to wet conditions – a crucial consideration for maintaining workplace safety.
Selecting the right flooring system is a pivotal decision for any food and beverage operation. Polyscreed ® polyurethane industrial flooring meets and exceeds industry standards, offering unparalleled durability, hygiene and safety benefits.
