FDA & USDA Approved Coatings

Providing Food Processing Facilities FDA Approved Coatings for Food Contact

Constant cleaning, heavy traffic, and strict inspections put your surfaces to the test. Food-grade coatings provide the protection you need, delivering durability, safety, and compliance for regulated spaces like food processing facilities, commercial kitchens, and pharmaceutical plants.

Raider Painting has over 40 years of proven expertise in these specialized systems. Our team applies coatings that meet FDA and USDA requirements, helping facilities remain safe, inspection-ready, and fully operational under demanding conditions.

What are Food Grade Coatings?

FDA coatings are specialized systems designed for direct or indirect food contact areas, including equipment, storage containers, and processing tanks. These FDA approved coatings are non-toxic, sanitary, and resistant to the cleaning chemicals used in daily operations.

By contrast, USDA-approved coatings are applied to facility surfaces such as floors, walls, and ceilings in food production environments and nutraceutical plants. These systems are built to withstand high-pressure washing, moisture, and heavy traffic while maintaining hygienic, easy-to-clean finishes, ensuring your facility meets the regulatory requirements protecting consumers and your operations.

Benefits of FDA-Compliant Industrial Coatings

When you choose FDA-approved solutions, you invest in more than regulatory compliance. These systems are engineered to deliver durability, hygiene, and cost efficiency across a wide range of facilities.

 

  • Regulatory Compliance: Meet strict FDA and USDA standards to avoid costly violations and ensure audit readiness.
  • Durability Under Stress: Resist impact, abrasion, and wear from forklifts, heavy equipment, and nonstop operations.
  • Chemical Resistance: Stand up to sanitizers, acids, and detergents without losing performance.
  • Sanitation and Hygiene: Non-porous, seamless surfaces eliminate harbor points for bacteria and microbial growth.
  • Cost Efficiency: Extend coating life, reduce downtime, and minimize the frequency of repairs or recoating.

 

From food processing plants and beverage production facilities to distribution centers and commercial kitchens, FDA-compliant epoxy coating systems deliver the resilience needed to keep facilities running smoothly while meeting sanitation and safety requirements.

Applications of FDA and USDA-Approved Coatings

Every facility has unique compliance challenges, and coatings must be matched to their specific use. Raider Painting provides FDA-approved coating services to address the needs of facilities with surfaces that have direct contact with food products. We also apply these coatings to protect the broader environment where food is prepared and stored.

 

FDA Approved Coatings

As mentioned, we provide these solutions in areas with direct or indirect food contact with food, such as areas and equipment for food processing and handling. These systems deliver heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and stain protection while reducing contamination risks.

  • Food Processing Equipment: These coatings provide a hygienic, impermeable finish that withstands frequent washdowns while ensuring surfaces remain safe for direct contact with food.
  • Cookware and Sealing Bars: High-performance finishes resist heat and abrasion, prevent sticking during repeated use, and extend the service life of heavily used cooking components.
  • Storage Containers and Tanks: Raider Painting applies non-toxic coatings that protect product integrity by resisting harsh sanitation chemicals and preventing contamination under demanding operating conditions.
  • Domestic Appliances in Commercial Use: From ovens to refrigeration units, these coatings provide easy-to-clean, compliant surfaces that meet strict food safety requirements in commercial kitchen environments.

 

USDA-Approved Coatings

Our specialists apply industry-approved coatings to structural and environmental surfaces within regulated facilities. These coatings are built to withstand cleaning, moisture, and wear while maintaining germ-free conditions.

  • Walls and Ceilings: Easy-to-clean, non-porous finishes that prevent microbial growth.
  • Floors in Processing Areas: Seamless, slip-resistant surfaces that resist abrasion from equipment and heavy operational traffic.
  • Moisture Resistance: Protection against high humidity, steam, and frequent washdowns.
  • Durability Under Heavy Use: Long-lasting performance in dairies, meat and poultry plants, and canneries subject to strict USDA oversight.

By combining FDA approved coating services with USDA-approved solutions, facilities create a comprehensive protective system that safeguards equipment and structural environments while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Industry Compliant Epoxy Floor Coatings

In FDA- and USDA-regulated environments, flooring is one of the most scrutinized surfaces during inspections. Cracks, seams, or porous finishes can trap moisture and bacteria, creating serious sanitation and compliance risks. That’s why many facilities turn to FDA compliant epoxy coating systems as the industry standard for flooring.

Unlike traditional finishes, epoxy creates a seamless surface that eliminates harbor points where contaminants can spread. This makes it easier for your team to maintain sterile conditions and demonstrate compliance during audits. Epoxy also withstands aggressive cleaning schedules, temperature swings, and the constant movement of heavy equipment without breaking down.

FDA approved floor coatings go beyond durability; they actively reduce compliance risks. Epoxy systems that meet FDA standards help protect operations from costly violations while ensuring a safer environment for food production and handling.
