When food is involved, there’s no room for guesswork. Every surface that touches it, whether in processing, packaging, or storage, has to be safe. That’s the purpose of a food-safe coating. It forms a barrier that keeps food clean, equipment protected, and everyone in compliance with strict safety rules.
Roland Coatings has seen firsthand how the right coating can solve big problems. Machines run longer, cleaning becomes easier, and businesses avoid the headaches that come with contamination risks.
Why Food-Safe Coatings Matter
Think about what happens in a production line: heat, oils, cleaning agents, and constant wear. Over time, untreated surfaces break down. Rust shows up. Plastics weaken. And eventually, food can pick up what it shouldn’t.
A food contact approved barrier coating stops that from happening. It creates a safe layer between food and the surface beneath it. That means:
- No unwanted transfer of chemicals or particles.
- Less wear on expensive equipment.
- Better compliance with FDA and international standards.
- Fewer chances of product recalls.
In other words, it’s a simple safeguard that protects both the food and the business.
Types of Food-Safe Coatings
Different jobs call for different solutions. That’s why we don’t offer just one type of coating. Some of the most common options include:
- Food Contact Approved Barrier Coatings: We understand that a food contact approved barrier coating is extremely important for packaging materials that touch food.
- Custom Formulations: Some production lines have unique challenges. Maybe it’s high moisture, extreme temperature swings, or nonstop cleaning cycles. In those cases, we tailor coatings to fit the exact need.
Where You’ll Find Them
Food-safe coatings are everywhere:
- Processing plants, on mixers, conveyors, and storage tanks.
- Packaging lines, on wraps and cartons that touch food directly.
- Agriculture, helping produce stay fresher during shipping.
- Commercial kitchens, on heavy-use tools and prep surfaces.
They’re quiet, but without them, the system doesn’t run as safely, or as smoothly.
Why Work With Roland Coatings
Food safety rules are strict, and that’s something every business has to deal with. But each plant also has its own challenges. That’s why we don’t just hand over a coating and walk away. We take the time to look at how your system really works, then match it with the coating that makes the most sense.
