Food Safe Floor Sealing Solutions for Agriculture & Food Processing Facilities in Ontario
Introduction
Food safe floor sealing is essential for facilities across Ontario. In agriculture and food processing, the integrity of your floors is about more than durability—it’s about compliance, hygiene, and safety. Unsealed concrete can absorb moisture and bacteria, creating risks for contamination and regulatory violations.
At CAPCRETE, we specialize in applying industry-approved, food-grade sealers that withstand heavy traffic, harsh cleaning routines, and Ontario’s demanding climate.
Why Food Safe Floor Sealing Soultions Matters
Food facilities are required to maintain strict sanitation standards. Proper floor sealing helps operators:
- Prevent bacterial growth by eliminating porous surfaces where contaminants can thrive.
- Resist moisture and chemicals to withstand frequent washdowns and sanitizing agents.
- Handle heavy use, including forklifts, machinery, and continuous foot traffic.
- Stay compliant with CFIA requirements for clean, durable, and easy-to-maintain flooring.
- Extend the lifespan of your floor while lowering long-term maintenance costs.
