Protein-processing facility
Phased processing-floor upgrade
Approximately 12,600 square feet of processing flooring completed in 11 days against a 16-day shutdown allowance, eliminating the final planned shutdown.

RC Coatings helps facility teams plan urethane cement and resinous flooring around cleaning procedures, traffic, exposure, and installation windows.
What to document
before selecting a system.
Bring maintenance, engineering, and sanitation requirements into the same scope. A material name by itself does not describe the installation your facility needs.
- Cleaning: temperature, frequency, equipment, detergents, and concentrations.
- Traffic: forklifts, carts, impact areas, and loading patterns.
- Existing condition: damaged concrete, failed coatings, joints, and known moisture concerns.
- Details: drains, slope, transitions, cove, and equipment interfaces.
- Schedule: shutdown access, preparation time, cure conditions, and required return to service.
System selection
Urethane cement or epoxy?
Both are families of flooring systems with different products and specifications. RC evaluates the actual exposure and substrate before recommending a system, thickness, finish, and preparation method.
Urethane cement is one option we evaluate for demanding processing and washdown areas. Epoxy and other resinous systems may suit manufacturing, warehouse, and commercial areas. Product-specific performance limits and installation requirements govern the final selection.
Slip resistance and cleanability should be discussed together with the facility’s cleaning procedures. Flooring alone does not guarantee a regulatory or customer inspection outcome.

Can an existing facility be upgraded in sections?+
We can review phased work with your team. Layout, separation from operations, preparation methods, and the chosen system determine whether a phased approach is practical.
Do you provide cove and drain-area work?+
Cove, transitions, floor slope, and drain interfaces can be reviewed as part of the project. The proposal defines the corrections and details included.
What determines the shutdown duration?+
Preparation, concrete repair, area and access, system installation, environmental conditions, and cure requirements all matter. A weekend window must be checked against the complete scope.
