Food Grade Flooring Upgrade for an Edible Oil Production Facility

The Challenge: Upgrading Flooring for an Edible Oil Manufacturing Company

This edible oil manufacturer required a reliable, food-grade flooring solution to modernise its production facility and ensure full compliance with stringent hygiene regulations. The existing surface no longer met the demands of the environment, where continuous processing, exposure to oils and fats and heavy equipment movement placed considerable stress on the floor. The company needed a system that offered long-term durability, exceptional resistance to chemicals and a seamless, easy-to-clean finish suitable for direct food production areas.

The Solution: Polyurethane Screed Flooring Designed for Food Production

Sherwin-Williams supplied FasTop TG69, a high-performance polyurethane screed system in Kingfisher Blue, transforming the facility into a safer, brighter and more hygienic production environment. Fully compliant with European Directives, FasTop TG69 is approved by the Campden BRI Food Research Association for use in food production areas, providing confidence that the system is safe for installation around edible products.

FasTop TG69 is classed as non-taint, making it ideal for food environments. Its seamless construction eliminates dirt traps, while its durable surface withstands heavy foot traffic, machinery and spillages common in edible oil processing. The system accommodates variations in subfloor levels and can be applied with drainage channels to support effective wash-down and contamination control. Its inherently seamless nature is one of its key advantages, ensuring a hygienic environment for the production of foodstuffs.

The Results: A Durable, Non-Slip, Hygienic Floor That Meets Food Industry Standards

The installation of FasTop TG69 delivered a seamless, chemical-resistant, non-taint flooring solution tailored to the rigorous demands of edible oil production. The polyurethane system met hygiene requirements, improved safety with its excellent slip resistance and enhanced the appearance of the facility with a vibrant, durable finish. Approved by Campden BRI and compliant with European Directives, FasTop TG69 provides a long-term, food-safe surface that supports efficient, high-quality production for years to come.
