Common Applications in Food Processing
Food & Beverage Production
FRP wall panels deliver exceptional hygiene and durability in food and beverage processing areas. Their non-porous surface resists moisture, grease, and bacteria, allowing frequent sanitation without damaging the finish, essential for meeting strict cleanliness and audit standards.
Packaging & Handling Areas
In packaging plants and material handling zones, FRP panels stand up to forklifts, carts, and constant activity. Their impact resistance and cleanability help maintain both safety and compliance in high-traffic environments.
Cold Storage & Freezers
Cold rooms and freezer environments demand materials that can handle condensation and extreme temperature changes. FRP panels provide excellent moisture resistance and insulation stability, helping prevent mold growth and maintaining long-term surface integrity.
Commercial Kitchens & Prep Areas
FRP wall panels create a smooth, easy-to-clean barrier behind prep tables, sinks, and cook lines. They resist chemical cleaners, steam, and splashes, keeping kitchens hygienic, efficient, and compliant with food safety codes.
