Food industry Floorings & tank Coatings.
Food manufacturing facilities demand flooring and protective coating systems that meet the highest standards of hygiene, durability, and safety. Floors and tanks are continuously exposed to heavy traffic, thermal shock, aggressive cleaning chemicals, moisture, food acids, and frequent washdowns. High-performance flooring systems such as polyurethane cement (PU cement) and specialist epoxy coatings provide seamless, non-porous surfaces that resist chemical attack, abrasion, impact, and bacterial growth while remaining easy to clean and maintain. These systems help facilities comply with strict hygiene standards, minimise downtime, and extend the service life of production areas.
Protective tank coatings play an equally important role in safeguarding food processing equipment and storage infrastructure. Whether used for potable water, dairy products, beverages, process water, or food ingredients, tanks require durable lining systems that protect concrete and steel substrates from corrosion, moisture ingress, and product contamination. Alka Coatings supplies and installs high-performance flooring and tank coating solutions tailored to the specific operating conditions of food processing facilities, ensuring long-term performance, regulatory compliance, and reliable asset protection.
Solutions for Diluted acids, Alkaline, food spills, oil & fats.
In food preparation areas, such as commercial kitchens, food & oil spills are unavoidable. So we can expect diluted or weak acids and alkaline, as well as normal detergents that area used on a daily washing routines and chemicals such as drinkable ethanol in wineries and breweries.
The hygiene floor must be able to tolerate daily washing routine, hot water and weak chemicals. Also, these floors are a high-traffic areas. Heavy trolleys with metal wheels will be used on these floors. In Addition, food spills can infiltrate un-coated concrete surfaces resulting in the growth of bacteria. Our wall-to-floor flooring systems offer a seamless, impermeable barrier that can be easily cleaned and ensure a hygienic surface and is safe to walk on.
Our floor coating solutions for commercial kitchens provide the highest standards and help to comply with industry guidelines for good hygiene practice.
Thermal shock resistance floorings
Unlike conventional epoxy flooring, polyurethane cement has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is much closer to concrete. This allows the flooring and substrate to expand and contract together, reducing internal stresses during rapid heating and cooling. PU cement also provides excellent flexibility while maintaining exceptional compressive and impact strength. This combination enables the flooring system to absorb thermal movement without cracking or debonding. In addition, PU cement forms a dense, seamless surface with outstanding adhesion to properly prepared concrete, helping prevent moisture penetration even under continuous washdown conditions.Typical Thermal Shock Conditions.
ALKA-255 is designed for demanding industrial environments where temperature extremes are common, including:
Hot water washdowns
Steam cleaning
Boiling liquid spills
Freezing rooms
Blast chillers
Refrigerated processing areas
Rapid heating and cooling cycles
Wet processing environments
These conditions are common in food manufacturing plants, dairies, breweries, meat processing facilities, seafood processing plants, commercial kitchens, and pharmaceutical production areas.
Alka Crete 255 is a high-performance, three-component, heavy-duty, HACCP-Approved industrial flooring system composed of a polyurethane resin, a polyol hardener, and a cementitious aggregate filler.
Alka Crete 255 Polyurethane Cement is a highly durable, seamless resinous flooring systems that is designed for heavy-duty applications. It combines 2-part polyurethane technology with micro cement, aggregates and other additives to create a highly functional resinous matrix. This product is designed to withstand extreme mechanical, chemical, and thermal stresses, making it ideal for environments such as food and beverage processing plants, commercial kitchens, pharmaceutical facilities, and other heavy-duty industrial areas.
Fast Cure Solutions for overnight installations
We formulate and manufacture a number of fast curing epoxy primers, binders and coating solutions.
We use epoxy screed and mortars based on specialised dry sand and various sizes (100 microns – 5 mm) mixed with 100% solid Alka-100
This binder allow up to 2 hours of application time, but cures rapidly straight after and is recoat able in 4 hours. This allows extremely fast installations, specially for over-night remedial epoxy floorings.
2. Chemical resistance flooring solutions for strong acids & Alkalines.
There are circumstances that a food-grade flooring must also tolerate strong chemicals such as hydro chloric acid (HCl), sulphuric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and other strong chemicals. Dairy industry in particular uses Nitric Acid 5% as a detergent in dairy cleaned-in-placed system. Normal flooring solutions cannot tolerate these extreme conditions.
We offer solutions with extreme chemical resistance to withstand these extreme conditions. Obviously, these floors will be meet all the criteria of previous food-grade solutions.
100% solid Alka 111 Novolac epoxy coating systems and 100% solid Alka 113 low viscous epoxy coating system can be formulated as food grade coating systems.
The exact formulation will be offered as a tailored formulation for each individual job depending on the technical data sheets of chemicals used on the floor.
Dairy Industries,
Vinegar factories,
abattoirs, poultries, meet industry,
3. Food grade protective coating solutions for alcohol tanks.
Wineries and breweries use tanks for their brewing alcohols which is corrosive. To protect the metal or concrete tanks used for storage or processing, we have solutions depending on the concentration and detailed specification of process and storage.
The exact formulation will be offered as a tailored formulation for each individual job depending on the technical data sheets of chemicals used in those tanks.
Wineries,
Breweries,
Any industry stores alcohol for disinfection,
4. Chemical resistance protective coating solutions for strong acids & Alkalines tanks.
There are circumstances that a food-grade tank must also tolerate strong chemicals such as hydro chloric acid (HCl), sulphuric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and other strong chemicals.
Vinegar factories and insect sites among many other chemicals, use such tanks for various internal processes and storages.
We offer solutions with extreme chemical resistance to withstand these extreme conditions. Obviously, these floors will be meet all the criteria of previous food-grade solutions.
100% solid Alka 111 Novolac epoxy coating systems and 100% solid Alka 100 low viscous epoxy coating system can be formulated as high chemical resistance coating systems.
The exact formulation will be offered as a tailored formulation for each individual job depending on the technical data sheets of chemicals used on the floor.
