The food industry has strict guidelines with regards to health and hygiene and that in its self bring a whole raft of issues when it comes to flooring. The usually high traffic areas must be not only clean but also cleanable so hence resistant to chemical wear.
When creating a food hygienic floor, that is hard wearing, seamless, easy to clean and gives some anti slip resistance in the wet PSC Flooring will always recommend a Polyurethane Screed.

Polyurethane Screeds offer the highest level of durability. Classified by FeRFA, the UK resin’s governing body as Type 8, meaning they are the most robust, hard wearing, screeds on the market and hence ideal for the food industry.
The chemical resistance comes from the fact they are non-porous and hence they offer the best chemical resistance of all the resins and even in wet process areas their surface profile aids slip resistance.
