Frequently Asked Questions
The best flooring for pet food processing plants is a seamless, resinous system built for sanitation, moisture control, and heavy use. A urethane flooring system is an ideal choice because it handles wet cleaning, temperature swings, impact, and aggressive washdown conditions well.
For many pet food processing facilities, the right system depends on the area. Mixing, cooking, packaging, raw ingredient handling, and cold storage zones often need different levels of slip resistance, chemical protection, and thermal shock performance.
Pet food processing involves animal fats, oils, cleaning agents, and frequent wet conditions, all of which break down standard concrete and tile. Stonhard urethane flooring systems systems are engineered to resist these aggressive chemicals and constant moisture without cracking, peeling, or degrading.
In addition, Stonhard seamless flooring eliminates the joints and grout lines where liquids penetrate and bacteria collect. The result is a floor that protects your slab and maintains its integrity for years.

The seamless, nonporous surface of Stonhard flooring allows water, sanitizers, and cleaning agents to flow freely without pooling or seeping into the substrate. This makes daily washdowns faster and more thorough.
Because there are no joints or porous areas to trap residue, you reduce contamination risk and shorten cleaning time. That means more uptime, lower labor costs, and consistently sanitary conditions across your facility.
Yes. Pet food facilities run 24/7 with forklifts, mixing equipment, and steady foot traffic, all of which place heavy demands on flooring. Stonhard urethane and epoxy systems are built to absorb impact, resist abrasion, and carry substantial loads without failure.
A properly specified system extends the life of your floor and minimizes costly repairs, delivering strong long-term value for your facility.
