These floors may be installed over brick and tile, in certain situations. The only downside to these products is that they are only color stable in tile red & dark gray. Other colors tend to fade and discolor under UV light.

EP Floors Corp. Food Processing Floor Systems
CEMENTITIOUS URETHANE FLOORS These are considered the modern standard in food processing facilities. Cementitious urethanes bond extremely well to difficult concrete floors in damp and cool conditions, where other systems won’t. These products also tolerate wide temperature swings, with excellent chemical resistance.
Manufacturers of urethane mortar flooring include: • DexOTex: Tek-Crete, Tekcrete Rustoleum: Thermakrete Tnemec: Ultra-Tread Duraflex: DuraCrete Cornerstone: FoodFloor
These products were at one time (before urethane mortar floors were developed) were thought to be a good choice. Unfortunately, lactic acid, damp and/or cold conditions & thermal shock, serve as an enemy of epoxy floors. EPOXIES This product has a noxious odor during cure. If the flooring must be installed in a freezer during operation, MMA’s will cure down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. They are a good choice for crack repair and levelling in very cold areas. Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
Another choice that has been used in the food processing industry, due to its high tolerance of nitric acids. Unfortunately, vinyl esters also have a very noxious odor during the application, which often required the installation crew to wear gas masks with forced air supply for breathing purposes. Vinyl Ester (Tufco) Acid Brick,Dairy Brick & Tile Acid brick and quarry tile are products that have widely been used in the food processing industry. These products were the only systems available, before the advent of seamless systems.
