Additional support during audits in the food industry
Coatings for the food industry can be included in the hygiene plan as an additional surface finish after a site-specific assessment. The mould- and bacteria-resistant coatings from Inducoat exclusively protect the dry coating film against attack by moulds and bacteria; cleaning, maintenance, and the site-specific hygiene plan remain paramount.
- Continuous mould and bacteria resistance of the dry coating film, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year
- To be assessed within HACCP, BRCGS and IFS hygiene plans; no certification or guarantee of audit approval
- Tailored advice for walls, ceilings, floors, joints, and critical areas
- A project-specific “Clean & Coat in 24 hours” approach when the substrate, drying times and local conditions permit
- Planning within the available maintenance window can limit maintenance and production downtime and a well-maintained finish supports the company image

Why free Inducoat advice is valuable for food manufacturers
A free audit of Inducoat provides technical insight into the current substrate, problem areas and maintenance requirements. Therefore, the outcome helps substantiate a system choice within your own GMP, BRCGS or IFS framework; the audit is not a certification or guarantee of audit results.
If maintenance or painting is planned, coating and sealant choices can be directly incorporated into the schedule, without creating a separate process.
Our specialists then assess on site the walls, ceilings, floors, joints and critical areas. This creates a suitable system build-up. The advice is non-binding and free of charge.
Dry-film protection: 24/7 – 365
A risk assessment highlights where the substrate, cleanability, and service load require extra attention. For steel structures, a separate anti-corrosion system at C5-M level can be chosen; for surfaces susceptible to mould or bacteria, it involves a mould-resistant or bacteria-resistant dry coating film. These performances must be assessed per product system and substrate.
For walls, ceilings, and floors whose dry coating film is susceptible to attack by mould or bacteria, a mould-resistant or bacteria-resistant system can be considered as supplementary material protection. This is in addition to, and not a replacement for, the hygiene and cleaning plan.
By linking these choices to a scheduled maintenance event, audits, implementation and management can be better aligned. This creates a practical balance of hygiene, maintenance and costs, without equating product performance to food safety of audit approval.

Evidence-based system choice
Hygienic wall finish for food and maintenance requirements
Inducoat focuses its advice on the practical aspects of food processing and packaging. Product specifications, substrate, cleaning regime and application are therefore aligned with the local quality and maintenance plan.
Binnen voedingsmiddelenfabrieken zijn er structurele probleemzones waar vocht, schimmelgroei en bacteriële aantasting extra aandacht vragen. Daarom beoordelen we de droge coatingfilm per zone, naast bronaanpak, reiniging en onderhoud. Hieronder staan vijf gebieden waar schimmelbestendige en bacteriebestendige systemen met Inducoat Cleaner, Inducoat Fungi, Inducoat Bacteria en/of MSP 2.0 in de afweging kunnen worden meegenomen.
