Food-Safe Finishes by BEST Painting — Built to Withstand, Designed to Protect.
The Standard in Food Industry Grade Painting and Specialty Coatings
Different service environments require different approaches, and this can determine which coatings get specified.
Our estimating team is comprised of highly trained and experienced NACE Coating Inspectors, who are all very familiar with food-grade coatings and their applications.
Protective Coatings play a vital role in the food industry, where maintaining hygiene, preventing contamination, and ensuring the durability of equipment and infrastructure are paramount.
Here are some key applications and types of protective coatings in the food industry:
Food-Grade Coatings: Safety & Protection
Regulatory Compliance
Specialized coatings meet strict Canadian and international food-safety standards, ensuring surfaces, containers, and equipment remain compliant.
Contamination Prevention
These coatings form a protective barrier, blocking harmful substances from migrating into food and safeguarding public health.
Compliance & Brand Trust
Industry Standards
Food-grade coatings ensure facilities meet strict certifications, preventing costly recalls and legal setbacks.
Reputation Protection
By using these coatings, food companies safeguard consumer trust and reinforce their commitment to safety and quality.
Anti-Corrosion
Stainless steel and epoxy coatings defend against rust and damage from water, acids, and cleaners.
Hygienic
Easy-to-clean, antimicrobial coatings keep walls, floors, and equipment safe and compliant with food standards.
Protective & Hygienic Coatings
Floor & Tank Protection
Tank & Vessel Coatings
Protective linings prevent contamination and preserve the strength of storage and processing equipment.
Floor Coatings
Epoxy and polyurethane finishes create durable, slip-resistant, and easy-to-clean surfaces while shielding concrete from wear and chemicals.
Specialized Coatings for Food Processing
Pipe Coatings
Corrosion-resistant linings keep pipelines safe and maintain product quality in dairy, beverage, and other industries.
Bakery & Cooking Equipment
Non-stick coatings on pans and equipment improve food release and simplify cleaning.
Anti-Microbial
Surfaces treated with antimicrobial coatings inhibit bacteria, mold, and fungi growth, boosting hygiene.
Heat-Tolerant
High-temp coatings withstand cooking and baking heat without degrading or releasing harmful substances
