Commercial Bakery Food-Safe Coating
Complete commercial bakery coating by certified American food safe coating contractor - oil resistance, heat tolerance, high-traffic durability across 285,000 square feet.
American Food Safe Coating for High-Volume Bakery Operations
A major commercial bakery producing 2 million units daily across bread, rolls, pastries, and confections required comprehensive coating upgrades across their 285,000 sq ft facility. The operation runs 24/7 with extreme demands including oil/grease exposure, elevated temperatures near ovens (up to 150°F ambient), and heavy forklift traffic in mixing and loading zones.
As a certified American food safe coating contractor, we implemented NSF/ANSI 51 certified coating systems engineered specifically for bakery environments. Oil-resistant polyurethane coatings in mixing areas, heat-resistant epoxy systems rated to 200°F near ovens, and heavy-duty industrial floor coatings with 100,000+ forklift pass ratings. The phased 12-week installation maintained full production operations with zero downtime across all baking lines.

Project Results
"As a certified American food safe coating contractor, Moorhouse Coating delivered exceptional bakery-specific expertise. The oil-resistant coatings in our mixing areas have eliminated the grease penetration issues we struggled with for years. Heat-resistant systems near ovens show zero degradation after 18 months. The FDA inspector specifically noted the superior coating quality during our recent audit. Zero production downtime during installation was critical."
Frequently Asked Questions
Are bakery coatings resistant to oils and greases?
Yes, our American food safe coating systems for bakeries use oil-resistant polyurethane formulations specifically engineered for vegetable oil, butter, and grease exposure. These coatings prevent oil penetration that causes adhesion failures and bacterial harboring. Testing per ASTM D543 shows zero degradation after 1000+ hours of continuous oil exposure.
Can coatings withstand high temperatures near ovens?
Our heat-resistant epoxy systems are rated for continuous exposure up to 200°F, exceeding typical bakery oven zone ambient temperatures (120-150°F). Thermal shock resistance prevents cracking from temperature cycling. For extreme heat zones, we offer high-temperature polysiloxane coatings rated to 350°F continuous exposure.
How do coatings handle heavy forklift traffic in mixing areas?
Our heavy-duty industrial floor coatings are rated for 100,000+ forklift passes (per ASTM D4060 wear resistance testing). High-build application (15-20 mil DFT) and aggregate broadcast options provide exceptional impact and abrasion resistance. Bakeries with 500+ daily forklift passes show minimal wear after 3+ years of continuous operation.
