Having solved complex flooring failures across the farming and food production industries for years, Polycote dictates the standard for industrial surface protection. We understand that agricultural and food processing environments demand more than standard paint; they require long-term, UK-manufactured solutions.
From primers capable of adhering to oil-contaminated workshop floors to DPMs that eradicate rising damp in grain stores, our specialist resin coatings provide impenetrable barriers against chemical attacks, heavy machinery, and constant pressure washing. Polycote products and approved installation techniques are specified worldwide. Maintenance Made Easy isn’t just our ethos, it is our guarantee, backed by decades of proven industrial application.

We do not rely on theoretical performance; our resin systems are structurally engineered to survive the most punishing agricultural and industrial conditions.
Whether subjected to the extreme thermal shock of 90°C steam cleaning in food processing plants, the relentless point-loading of 10-tonne combine harvesters, or prolonged submersion in highly corrosive silage effluent, Polycote coatings remain totally impenetrable. Generic floor paints delaminate, blister, and fail within weeks under these conditions.
By utilising high-build, 100% solids epoxy and advanced polyurethane technologies, our heavy-duty topcoats deliver immense compressive strength and extreme abrasion resistance. We do not just coat your concrete; we structurally bind and fortify the substrate against severe mechanical impact and chemical degradation, guaranteeing a long-term, high-performance surface in environments where failure is not an option.
A high-performance resin is only as effective as the substrate preparation beneath it. By utilising Polycote’s nationwide network of approved installation teams, you guarantee flawless mechanical preparation and precision application, mitigating the risk of delamination.
We do not cut corners. Our approved installers utilise industry-leading, dust-free preparation equipment, including vacuum-assisted HTC diamond grinders and Blastrac shotblasting systems, to remove laitance and expose the concrete aggregate for maximum mechanical keying. Whether we are re-levelling a heavily spalled dairy floor or applying a rapid-cure polyaspartic coating during a brief operational shutdown, we deliver the exact preparation, the correct polymer chemistry, and an expedited application.
Rising damp and perimeter water penetration cause catastrophic crop spoilage, leading to massive financial loss and compromised grain quality. The Polycote DPM Primer is a professionally formulated, twin-pack epoxy liquid membrane that creates an uncompromising barrier against severe hydrostatic pressure.
Beyond damp, the sheer weight of grain and the constant pivoting of telehandlers and skid-steer loaders pulverise unprotected concrete, causing severe dust contamination. Flortex PU, a high-solids, single-pack polyurethane sealer, penetrates deep into the capillary matrix of the concrete substrate. It acts as a structural binder, massively increasing abrasion resistance and completely eliminating concrete dusting, ensuring your grain remains uncontaminated and your floors stay intact.
Silage effluent is highly corrosive, rich in lactic and acetic acids, and legally classified as a highly polluting substance by the Environment Agency. Total containment in silage clamps and effluent tanks is an environmental and legal necessity.
Our chemical-resistant floor and wall sealers are engineered to withstand prolonged acid attack, preventing the breakdown of the concrete matrix and the highly illegal leakage of effluent into local watercourses. Our approved installers seamlessly seal all expansion joints, floor-to-wall junctions, and perimeter walls to ensure absolute regulatory compliance and structural integrity.
Porous concrete breeds disease. In birthing areas and farrowing crates, unsealed floors absorb animal waste, harbouring anaerobic bacteria and dramatically increasing mortality rates.
Our hygienic, seamless resin systems eliminate these micro-fissures. By creating a totally impervious, non-porous membrane, our coatings prevent the ingress of ammonia and bodily fluids. This radically accelerates cleaning and wash-down routines, eradicates embedded odours, and ensures the highest levels of biosecurity. We also provide heavy-duty concrete repair mortars to re-profile damaged areas before coating, ensuring a perfectly draining, hygienic surface with bespoke anti-slip profiles tailored for animal welfare.
Dairy floors endure some of the most aggressive environments in agriculture. The combination of corrosive lactic acid, heavy bovine traffic, and constant high-pressure hot water washing causes rapid concrete degradation. We manufacture tough, impervious flooring specifically designed to solve these issues permanently.
Understanding your strict twice-daily milking schedules, zero downtime is our priority. We specialise in fast-curing resins and moisture-tolerant systems that allow for rapid installation between milking cycles.
For the Milking Pit & High-Wear Areas
We utilise Flortex® PU Screed. This heavy-duty system is impervious to lactic acid and easily withstands the daily thermal shock of steam cleaning up to 130°c.
For Hygienic Walls
HyGlaze™ Supa-C provides a highly durable, easily jet-washable coating to prevent microbiological attack on vertical surfaces.
For Collecting Yards & Ramps
We specify graded, slip-resistant systems like Quick Coat EP, which cure rapidly and are ready to withstand heavy hoof traffic just one hour after application.
Attempting to paint floors contaminated with hydraulic fluid, engine oil, and grease is the single biggest cause of coating failure in farm workshops. Oil rises through capillary action, causing standard paints to blister and peel almost immediately.
We bypass this structural issue with our proprietary OT Primer (Oil Tolerant Primer). This specialist chemistry actively displaces surface residues and bonds aggressively to the contaminated concrete substrate. When finished with our flagship Flortex Professional, a high-build, 100% solids pure epoxy resin, you achieve a monolithic, chemical-resistant surface boasting immense compressive strength, easily capable of withstanding the point-loading of combine harvesters, tractors, and loaded HGVs.
In the food processing industry, downtime equals lost revenue, and hygiene failures equal site closures. When refurbishing food processing floors, achieving HACCP compliance is non-negotiable.
Over 35 years, we have engineered cutting-edge, seamless polyurethane and epoxy systems for abattoirs, breweries, and food processing plants. Our systems feature seamless coved skirting (eliminating 90-degree dirt traps), extreme chemical resistance to CIP (Clean-in-Place) chemicals, and resistance to high-temperature steam cleaning. From bespoke anti-slip aggregates ensuring staff safety to rapid-cure systems that ensure zero loss of production, our technical team specifies precisely what your facility needs to exceed the highest environmental health standards.
Standard brick, block, and concrete cannot contain aggressive industrial chemicals or concentrated agricultural fertilisers. Secondary containment areas (bunds) require highly specialised protection to prevent catastrophic environmental damage and severe regulatory fines.
Polycote manufactures bespoke chemical-resistant coatings and heavy-duty screeds designed for absolute primary and secondary containment. We formulate resins specifically mapped to the chemical profiles stored on your site, whether it involves highly concentrated sulphuric acid, sodium hypochlorite, or agricultural slurry. We provide the definitive, legally compliant protection you need.
