Epoxy-PU hybrid floor coating (water-based) in Ghaziabad

Food packing units and bakeries in Ghaziabad have a specific worry about floor coatings. Solvent fumes from traditional epoxy and PU coatings can linger in a building and, in the worst case, taint the smell or taste of food products and packaging nearby. That means production has to stop and the building has to air out for days. Our epoxy-PU hybrid WB, the water-based version of our EPU hybrid, greatly reduces that risk, so floor work can be scheduled with less disruption.

Food packing and bakeries

Food businesses in Ghaziabad use the water-based hybrid in:

• packing halls for snacks, spices and dry foods
• bakery dispatch, cooling and packing areas
• dry ingredient stores
• corridors and changing rooms in food plants

In these areas the floor needs to be washable, dust-free and resistant to everyday spills. The water-based hybrid gives that, with much lower odour during application. Your QA team should still confirm how long product should be kept away from newly coated areas, and we provide product data to support that decision.

For wet production zones with hot water, oils and heavy cleaning, PU concrete is the better choice.

Stores and light commercial spaces

Retail stores, showrooms and offices in Ghaziabad also use water-based hybrid coatings when they can't close for long, or when neighbours would complain about solvent smell. The finish is durable for foot traffic and trolleys.

Preparation still matters

Low odour doesn't mean less preparation. For a coating to last, we:

1. remove grease, oil and old loose coatings
2. grind the surface lightly to give a good key
3. repair cracks, chips and joints
4. check slab moisture
5. apply primer before the coating

In food units, oil and fat can be deep in the concrete near production equipment, so those areas get extra attention.

Limits of a water-based system

• It builds in thinner coats than solvent-free systems
• It needs good airflow to dry
• It suits foot traffic, trolleys and pallet trucks, but not heavy forklift use or high impact
• For those heavier areas, solvent-free EPU is stronger

Scheduling in a running food unit

Most food units can't stop for long, so we usually coat one zone at a time, often over a weekend or planned stoppage. Ventilation runs throughout, and the area is handed back once the coating has cured enough for use and your QA team is satisfied.

FAQs

Is a water-based coating completely odour-free?

Not completely, but odour is much lower than solvent-based systems and clears quickly with ventilation.

How soon can packing resume in a coated area?

That depends on cure conditions and your QA requirements. We provide product data and cure guidance to help decide.

Can it be used in a wet washing area?

For constantly wet, hot areas, PU concrete is the better choice.
