Washdown areas in food processing and beverage facilities are unique environments subject to harsh exposures from high-pressure washer sprays as well as a multitude of aggressive chemicals used in both the cleaning and sanitation of equipment. The flooring system in chemical washdown areas requires a heavy-duty finish to endure these punishing conditions. Furthermore, the floor resurfacing treatment must support stringent sanitation protocols and regulations by the FDA and other governing bodies to ensure the safety of produce, meat, dairy and other processed food.
