UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS specialises in providing high-performance protective solutions for the food and drink industry. This case study details the successful refurbishment of a wine manufacturing facility using UPS 909 PP POROUS PRIMER, UPS 405 EPC EPOXY PROTECTIVE COATING, and UPS 943 UV URETHANE WALL COATING.
At a wine manufacturing facility, maintaining strict hygiene standards was essential. Over time, the existing protective coatings on the floors and walls had degraded, compromising the facility's ability to ensure cleanliness. The facility required a refurbishment to restore these surfaces, making them easier to clean and more resistant to the demands of the manufacturing environment.
The challenge was to refurbish the facility's floors and walls with coatings that would provide long-term protection against spillage and frequent cleaning, while also ensuring the surfaces were easy to clean and hygienic.
UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provided a comprehensive refurbishment solution using UPS 909 PP, UPS 405 EPC, and UPS 943 UV. The application process involved the following steps:
Surface Preparation
- All existing coatings were removed using mechanical hand tools and floor blasting equipment to create a clean substrate.
- The concrete surfaces were then primed with UPS 909 PP, ensuring a strong bond for the subsequent protective coatings.
Application of UPS 405 EPC EPOXY PROTECTIVE COATING
- The floor area was coated with UPS 405 EPC. This coating provided an easy-to-clean finish that was resistant to potential wine spillage, ensuring long-term durability and hygiene.
Application of UPS 943 UV URETHANE WALL COATING
- The walls were coated with UPS 943 UV, which provided a high-gloss, UV-stable finish. This coating was designed to withstand the facility's existing cleaning regime, maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of the walls over time.
The application of UPS 909 PP, UPS 405 EPC, and UPS 943 UV successfully refurbished the wine manufacturing facility, ensuring that both the floors and walls were protected against spillage and rigorous cleaning routines. The durable coatings provided a hygienic environment, essential for maintaining the high standards required in the food and drink industry.
This case study highlights the effectiveness of UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS' protective coatings in refurbishing and maintaining high hygiene standards in food and drink manufacturing facilities. Our advanced materials and precise application techniques delivered a reliable solution that ensured the facility's long-term durability and cleanliness.
