Performance in Harsh Conditions
Thermal Shock & Cycling
Handles hot water >160°F washdowns, steam, oven heat, and fryer oil; performs in cold rooms and blast freezers (follow temperature staging for freezer installs).
Chemical Resistance
Withstands oxidizers, organic acids (incl. lactic), and typical nitric/phosphoric CIP cleaners; specialty topcoats available for concentrated chemical zones.
Slip Resistance
Permanent built-in texture maintains non-slip profile throughout the floor thickness—doesn’t wear off like coatings with sacrificial grit.
Compare Food Processing Floor Options
Urethane concrete has become the “go-to” choice versus epoxy or vinyl ester in wet, cold, and chemically aggressive food environments—due to superior moisture tolerance, chemical/thermal resistance, and long-term durability. See:

FAQs: Food Processing Floors
What thickness should I specify?
Standard is 1/4 in.; use 3/8 in. for high thermal shock areas (e.g., such as hot washdown and liquid nitrogen zones).
Can you install inside operating coolers/freezers?
Yes—standard systems cure down to ~35°F with staging; for sub-freezing operations, discuss acrylic/MMA options.
Is the surface antimicrobial?
PumaCRETE is non-porous and can include an antimicrobial additive to inhibit bacterial growth.
Do these floors meet audit standards?
They support USDA, SQF, and GFSI-aligned programs when paired with proper sanitation and drainage design.
