Maintaining food safety in cold storage facilities is crucial to ensuring the integrity and quality of the food supply chain. These facilities serve as the critical bridge between production and consumption, where perishable goods are stored at controlled temperatures to prevent spoilage and contamination. The cold environment may slow bacterial growth, but it does not eliminate the risk entirely. Proper hygiene and stringent safety measures are imperative to counteract potential hazards. The consequences of overlooking food safety in cold storage are profound, ranging from compromised product quality and consumer health risks to regulatory non-compliance. By prioritising and rigorously enforcing food safety protocols, cold storage facilities not only safeguard the well-being of consumers but also uphold the reputation of the entire food industry. In an era where traceability and accountability are paramount, the importance of maintaining impeccable food safety standards in cold storage facilities cannot be overstated.
Enter RX-Polarcoat, a game-changing smart tech coating from Robex that redefines the standards for cleanliness, efficiency, and safety in cold rooms, walk-in freezers, abattoirs and cold storage facilities. This refrigeration and cleanroom coating is applied to cold, damp walls without disrupting the environment.
What is RX-Polarcoat?
RX-Polarcoat stands at the forefront of smart tech coatings, offering an innovative solution to the challenges posed by conventional coatings in cold storage environments. This high-performance coating ensures food safety while addressing the unique demands of cold rooms, walk-in freezers, and various other sensitive environments. Some of the places RX-Polarcoat can be applied include:
Cold Rooms and Cold Storage Warehouses: RX-Polarcoat is tailored to withstand the frigid temperatures of cold rooms and storage warehouses, providing a resilient coating that endures daily mandatory cleanings and pressure water jets at 160°F.
Food Handling and Food Processing Rooms: From abattoirs to bakeries and supermarket preparation areas to commercial kitchens, RX-Polarcoat safeguards against bacterial growth and contamination, offering a seamless, easy-to-clean surface. It can be applied and will cure without raising the temperatures in cold rooms and without having to remove sensitive merchandise or refrigerated foods for fear of contamination by evaporated solvents or paint odours.
Cleanrooms in Electronic Manufacturing and Testing Facilities: With its odourless and solvent-free composition, it’s also an ideal choice for cleanrooms, ensuring a sterile environment crucial for electronic manufacturing and testing facilities.
Hospital Cleanrooms: Designed for hospital departments like operating rooms, laboratories, and nuclear medicine facilities, RX-Polarcoat provides a monolithic enclosure that retards bacterial growth, meeting the stringent cleanliness requirements of healthcare environments.
Refrigerated Boxes on Delivery and Transport Vehicles: Extending its versatility, RX-Polarcoat can be applied inside refrigerated boxes on delivery and transport vehicles, ensuring the integrity of transported goods.
What are the benefits of RX-Polarcoat?
Offering zero disruption to operations, RX-Polarcoat can be applied and cured without raising temperatures in cold rooms, eliminating the need to remove sensitive merchandise or refrigerated foods during application. This ensures uninterrupted operations and prevents contamination by evaporated solvents or paint odours. It forms a high gloss, tough monolithic surface and minimises the potential for germ or bacteria growth, providing an additional layer of protection for stored goods.
Companies today are increasingly conscious of their environmental impact. RX Polarcoat aligns with sustainability goals by being 100% solvent-free, odourless, and non-toxic. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice without compromising on performance. It is also a single-component coating that applies easily using a brush, roller, or spray, and open containers can be resealed for later use, minimising waste.
RX-Polarcoat adheres to various surfaces, including glass, ceramic tiles, concrete, metal (including stainless steel and GRP), wood, and more. It seamlessly seals apertures in walls and ceilings without introducing other trades. It also offers virtual renewal without the disruption and expense of replacing wall or ceiling panels, providing a cost-effective solution for maintaining a clean and safe environment.
With its multiple benefits, it is no surprise why so many leading companies, both locally and globally, are choosing RX-Polarcoat. By minimising the potential for germ or bacteria growth, RX-Polarcoat contributes to a more hygienic environment, resulting in long-term cost savings by reducing the risk of product contamination, regulatory fines, and the need for extensive cleaning or even facility shutdowns.
