Unique Polymer Solutions

What are the key maintenance challenges in the Food & Drink industry?

Food and beverage manufacturing is one of the most hygiene-critical and highly regulated sectors. Equipment and infrastructure must withstand:

Constant steam cleaning and washdowns
Harsh chemicals, acids, sugars, and alkalis
Abrasive processing conditions and mechanical impact
High humidity, condensation, and moisture ingress
Surface wear and concrete damage in production zones

If left unresolved, these conditions can lead to equipment failure, contamination risks, safety hazards, and non-compliance with HACCP, BRC, or FDA standards.

How can protective coatings help maintain hygiene and compliance in food processing environments?

At UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS (UPS), we offer food-safe, high-performance protective coatings specifically developed for use in demanding food and beverage environments.

Key Features of Our Protective Coatings:

Non-taint and solvent-free formulations
Chemically resistant and steam-tolerant
Easy-to-clean, hygienic surfaces
Anti-slip, antimicrobial, and seamless flooring options
Long-term corrosion and abrasion protection

Typical Coating Applications:

Epoxy wall and ceiling coatings – protect food zones from moisture and chemical attack
Hygienic floor coatings – ensure safe, clean, and durable working surfaces
Abrasion-resistant coatings – for conveyors, chutes, mixers, and hoppers
Waterproof linings – for cold rooms, washdown areas, and wet zones
Concrete resurfacing systems – repair damaged flooring, bunds, and loading areas

These coatings are designed to meet food safety and hygiene requirements while reducing downtime and extending the life of your production environment.

What composite repair solutions are available for food production facilities?

When equipment or structural damage occurs, UPS composite repair technologies offer rapid, non-disruptive maintenance without shutting down production or compromising hygiene.

Composite Repair Applications Include:

Metal repair compounds – rebuild pumps, mixers, valves, shafts, and housings
Pipe wrapping and leak sealing kits – fix compressed air lines, fluid pipes, and steam systems
Concrete repair mortars – hygienically restore damaged floors, plinths, columns, or bund walls
Emergency sealing systems – provide fast containment of leaks and avoid compliance breaches
Anti-slip surface coatings – restore safe walkways in wet or high-traffic zones

Our repair systems are fast-curing, food-safe, and require no hot work — making them ideal for in-situ application in live production settings.

Where are these coating and repair systems used across the Food & Beverage sector?

UPS technologies are widely used across all types of food and drink production facilities:

Meat, poultry, and seafood processing – bund linings, floor repairs, drainage sealing
Dairy and beverage plants – tank coatings, pipe repairs, chemical-resistant surfaces
Bakery and confectionery production – floor protection, wall coatings, steel reinforcement
Bottling and packaging lines – conveyor coatings, leak sealing, slip-resistant flooring
Cold storage and distribution – waterproof linings, condensation control, structural repairs

What benefits do UPS solutions offer to food and beverage manufacturers?

Enhanced hygiene and cleanability
Extended equipment and facility lifespan
Fast maintenance turnaround with minimal disruption
Full compliance with food safety regulations (HACCP, BRC, FDA)
Safer working environments through non-slip and sealed surfaces
Reduced costs through preventative maintenance and in-situ repairs
