“In food production, hygiene doesn’t start with equipment—it starts with what’s under your feet.”

When it comes to food and beverage facilities, the standard for cleanliness isn’t just high—it’s non-negotiable. Every surface must meet rigorous hygiene, durability, and safety requirements, especially the flooring. And in this critical area, Polyurethane (PU) Mortar Flooring has emerged as the industry’s gold standard.

The Hidden Risks Beneath Your Feet PU Mortar for Hygienic Food Floors

Floors in food factories aren’t just walked on—they're exposed to:

Boiling water and steam,
Harsh cleaning chemicals,
Heavy carts, machinery, and forklifts,
Frequent washdowns and extreme temperature changes.

Without the right flooring, cracks can form, bacteria can breed, and production is compromised.

As one food plant manager put it: “You don’t notice your flooring—until it fails. And by then, you’re already losing money.”

Why PU Mortar Flooring Excels Where Others Fail

PU Mortar is engineered to thrive in the very environments that destroy other flooring systems. Here’s why it’s the top choice for hygienic zones:

✔ Thermal Shock Resistance

Hot washdowns? Steam cleaning? No problem. PU mortar won’t crack or peel even with extreme temperature shifts.

✔ Seamless, Non-Porous Finish

No gaps. No joints. No hiding places for bacteria or mold.

✔ Chemical and Slip Resistance

Safe for workers and durable against strong cleaning agents, oils, and acids.

✔ Heavy-Duty Strength

Withstands machinery, forklifts, and non-stop foot traffic without wearing out.

✔ Fast Installation, Minimal Downtime

Time is money. PU mortar cures quickly so you can get back to business fast.

Built for Safety, Designed to Last

PU Mortar isn’t just a floor—it’s your frontline defense against contamination, shutdowns, and safety violations.

In fact, food safety auditors often cite flooring as a critical control point. A poorly maintained floor can lead to failed audits and even forced closures.

"We chose PU mortar not just for its strength, but because it gave us peace of mind. We haven’t had a single flooring issue since." — Operations Director, Meat Processing Facility
