Top 10 Areas of Coatings Concern in Food and Beverage Facilities
Peeling paint. Flaking rust. Cracked floors. Porous surfaces. In a food and beverage facility, any of these deficiencies related to industrial protective coating applications could spell significant trouble in the form of compliance write ups, fines, shutdowns or—even worse—contaminated products that lead to recalls.
Over time, coatings will eventually deteriorate, presenting possible contamination concerns. The deterioration may be gradual or accelerated due to age, chemical exposure, frequent wash downs, general use and other factors. However, facilities can put their compliance concerns to rest—while also enhancing their focus on food safety—by identifying areas of potential coating deficiencies, implementing preventive control plans, and committing to making proactive repairs.
