Food processing flooring
Hygienic, chemical-resistant epoxy and polyurethane floors for food and beverage production, cold rooms and packing areas. Seamless, HACCP-friendly and engineered to pass audits.
What this space demands from a floor
Food and beverage production floors face constant wash-downs, thermal shock, fats, acids and heavy traffic, and they have to meet strict hygiene standards. Shimicoat systems are built to keep the whole facility clean, safe and compliant.
Why Shimicoat is the right fit
HACCP-friendly hygiene
Seamless, non-porous finishes that do not support bacterial or fungal growth, easy to clean and audit-ready.
Chemical and acid resistant
Withstands food acids, fats, sugars, brines and aggressive cleaning chemicals.
Thermal-shock resistant
Handles hot wash-downs and cold-room temperatures without cracking or delaminating.
Slip resistant
Textured, slip-rated finishes keep wet and greasy production floors safe.
Waterproof and coved
Coving and falls to drains contain spills and speed up cleaning.
Antimicrobial option
Biocide-Film systems add microbial protection through the depth of the floor for high-risk areas.

See systems →Frequently asked questions
Is it food-safe and hygienic?
Yes. Our seamless resin coatings do not support bacterial or fungal growth and are used in hospitals, commercial kitchens, laboratories, cold rooms and food processing facilities for their hygiene properties.
Can it be made non-slip?
Yes. Where the surface requires slip resistance a non-slip additive is added to the top coats. We can offer R10, R11 and R12 slip ratings for commercial applications and wet areas. Please contact our technical team for further assistance.
Can it handle chemical wash-downs?
Yes. Our chemical-resistant systems withstand a broad spectrum of acids, alkalis and cleaning chemicals used in food and beverage production.
How do I clean and maintain it?
Seamless floors are the lowest-maintenance floors available. A mop with a mild detergent is usually all it takes. There are no grout lines for spills to stain and the non-porous surface will not harbour bacteria.
Epoxy flooring for food processing
In food and beverage production, the floor is part of your hygiene system. It has to be seamless and non-porous so bacteria has nowhere to hide, resist the acids, fats and cleaning chemicals used every day, and survive the thermal shock of hot wash-downs and cold rooms. Shimicoat resin floors are engineered to do all three, and to pass the audit.
Coving the floor up the walls and forming falls to drains means spills are contained and the whole area can be washed down in minutes. For the highest-risk zones, our Biocide-Film systems build antimicrobial protection through the depth of the floor. Shimicoat supplies and supports food-grade flooring systems Australia-wide.
