- 2. THE PROBLEM • Many facilities built in in the 60s and 70s. • Insulated Metal panels – aging oven baked polyester finish wears, peels, flakes • Concrete – Porous; cracks and spalls • Damage and corrosion painted over, or covered up with FRP or SS panels • Severe deterioration requires replacement and the cycle begins again.
- 3. THE PROBLEM As finishes deteriorate, cleaning and maintenance efforts increase Finish dulls and Harsher chemicals scratches, making and more abrasion the surface in turn deteriorate rougher and more the surface faster porous Sanitation crews work longer and Rougher harder scrubbing, surfaces with more collect more Eventually, USDA will require chemicals, more dirt and grime water, etc. the plant to hang plastic on the walls to prevent contamination
- 4. THE PROBLEM Facilities ask Paint Vendors to provide Finishes solutions, which deteriorate they do to the best of their ability After numerous repetitions, plants decide to replace the panels, or cover them up and cycle Food Safety risks increase to Ineffective begins again. the point that painting (which USDA / FDA results in peeling inspectors require or flaking paint) With pre-stressed corrections concrete, there are few options, if any. Touch up paint or hang plastic over production areas

- 6. SOME SOLUTIONS 1) Painting (Industrial Enamel, epoxy, urethanes, Reinforcing linings) 2) Cover with FRP 3) Cover with Stainless Steel 4) Replace panels * All options either create problems or restart the cycle
- 7. SOME SOLUTIONS The Painting Cycle – Just A Temporary Fix
