Food & Drink Production
Jofa Resins specialises in impervious food safe seamless flooring systems engineered specifically to meet the exacting requirements of food manufacturing flooring, food processing flooring, and food production flooring environments.
Introduction to Food & Drink Resin Flooring
The food and drink manufacturing sector operates under stringent hygiene regulations and demanding operational conditions. From large-scale food processing facilities to beverage bottling plants and commercial kitchens, every surface must maintain uncompromising standards for food safety, durability, and cleanability. Slips are more prevalent in this industry because of wet and contaminated floors.
Food Manufacturing & Processing
Food manufacturing environments demand flooring systems withstanding extraordinary challenges whilst maintaining the highest hygiene standards. Processing facilities handling meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and prepared foods create contamination risks threatening unprotected concrete surfaces. Jofa Resins’ food grade flooring systems provide continuous, impervious surfaces eliminating joints where bacteria proliferate.
Systems tested to ISO 22196 provide antimicrobial protection against harmful bacteria, biofilm, fungi, and mould. Chemical resistance stands paramount where production areas encounter lactic acids, blood proteins, sugars, and caustic cleaning agents resisting attacks without degradation.
Thermal shock resistance withstands hot washdown procedures using water exceeding 70°C. Food factory flooring from Jofa Resins accommodates extreme temperatures whilst textured surfaces provide excellent slip resistance even when wet.
Beverage Production & Commercial Kitchens
Beverage manufacturing including breweries, wineries, soft drinks production, dairies, and juice processing present distinct challenges. Sugar solutions create sticky residues supporting microbial growth. Jofa Resins’ beverage production food processing flooring systems resist these chemical challenges whilst maintaining hygienic surfaces
Grease resistance proves essential with food safe flooring systems creating impermeable barriers preventing grease absorption whilst facilitating degreasing procedures. Impact resistance withstands dropped cookware without chipping, maintaining hygienic surfaces.
Epoxy flooring for food processing provides continuous surfaces throughout beverage production. The non-porous nature prevents sugar solution penetration whilst resisting cleaning chemicals used in CIP systems common in operations.
Cold Storage & Temperature-Controlled Zones
Freezer rooms and refrigerated areas present unique challenges. Temperature extremes, particularly blast freezers at -40°C, combined with moisture from condensation demand specialised systems. Our cold store food production flooring maintains flexibility throughout extreme temperature ranges without becoming brittle.
Transition zones between ambient and refrigerated areas experience severe thermal stresses which epoxy flooring for food industry systems accommodate. These formulations maintain bond strength despite dramatic temperature variations, preventing delamination at critical thresholds.
Anti-slip properties remain consistent across temperature ranges, ensuring worker safety in freezer environments. Textured finishes maintain traction whether surfaces are dry, wet, or experiencing condensation formation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Food safe flooring delivers seamless surfaces eliminating bacterial harborage points, supporting HACCP and FSA compliance. Chemical resistance protects against food acids and cleaning agents. Antimicrobial content tested to ISO 22196 provides long-lasting protection against harmful bacteria, biofilm, fungi, and mould. Thermal shock resistance accommodates hot washdowns whilst slip resistance maintains safety in wet conditions, making resin flooring the definitive choice for food production facilities.
Food grade flooring incorporates enhanced formulations meeting specific food contact environment requirements, including HACCP certification, superior chemical resistance to food-specific substances, enhanced thermal shock resistance for steam cleaning, and formulations free from substances that might contaminate food products. These requirements exceed those of standard industrial applications, demanding specialised installation techniques ensuring long-term compliance.
Jofa Resins’ polyurethane resin screed systems are specifically formulated to withstand thermal shock from steam cleaning and hot water washdowns. Food processing flooring maintains structural integrity when exposed to temperatures exceeding 70°C followed immediately by ambient conditions, preventing the cracking and delamination affecting inadequate systems whilst supporting rigorous cleaning protocols essential for food safety.
