Nationwide FDA Approved Coatings & USDA Compliant Painting

Food-Grade Epoxy, Antimicrobial Walls & Hygienic Flooring Systems

RSP Painting protects the nation’s food supply. In a food processing facility, paint is not just aesthetic—it is a critical barrier against contamination. If your coatings flake, peel, or harbor bacteria, you face recall risks, failed audits, and shutdown orders.

We are the largest self-performing food-grade coating contractor in the USA. From massive meat packing plants in the Midwest to artisanal breweries on the Coasts, RSP applies the high-performance systems that keep facilities compliant with FDA, USDA, and FSIS regulations.

We understand the stakes: Listeria, Salmonella, and E. Coli have nowhere to hide when RSP finishes the job.

The RSP Difference: Audit-Ready Results

  • Regulatory Expertise: We distinguish between Direct Food Contact and Incidental Food Contact coatings, ensuring you use the right product for every zone (Zones 1, 2, & 3).

  • Zero Downtime: We know production cannot stop. We execute flooring and wall projects during 3rd shift, weekends, or holiday shutdowns to ensure you are back online instantly.

  • National Reach: Whether you have a bakery in Ohio, a bottling plant in California, or a seafood processor in Florida, RSP delivers consistent, compliant results across all 50 states.

Comprehensive FDA/USDA Coating Solutions

We treat every surface in your facility to create a “Seamless Hygienic Envelope.”

1. FDA Compliant Flooring (The Foundation)

Standard epoxy fails in food plants. We install systems built for abuse.

  • Urethane Cement: The gold standard for wet processing. It resists Thermal Shock (rapid expansion/contraction) from boiling water washdowns and steam cleaning.

  • Seamless Cove Base: We install an integral radius cove that curves up the wall, eliminating the 90-degree corner where dirt and bacteria usually get trapped.

  • Anti-Slip Texture: We broadcast aggregate to ensure traction for workers in wet/greasy environments while keeping the floor cleanable.

2. Antimicrobial Wall & Ceiling Systems

Porous block and drywall are breeding grounds for mold.

  • Fiberglass Reinforced Panels (FRP) Alternative: We apply high-build, fiber-reinforced epoxy wall coatings that are more durable than FRP panels and have no seams to harbor bugs.

  • Silver-Ion Technology: We utilize coatings infused with antimicrobial agents (like Silver) that actively inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on the paint film.

  • Anti-Condensation Ceilings: For freezers and humid production rooms, we apply specialized coatings that prevent condensation drip—a major source of product contamination.

3. Machinery & Equipment Refinishing

Rusted equipment is a critical violation.

  • High-Temp Food Grade: We paint ovens, mixers, and conveyors with high-temperature, FDA-compliant coatings that can withstand heat and chemical cleaning.

  • Safety Color Coding: We paint yellow guards, red fire lines, and blue potable water lines to maintain visual safety standards.

4. Silo & Tank Linings

  • Potable Water & Ingredients: We apply NSF/ANSI 61 certified linings to the interiors of storage tanks holding water, sugar, flour, or oil.

The Process: Sterile Application Protocol

Painting in a food plant requires surgical precision. We don’t just paint; we contain.

  1. Containment: We construct airtight plastic enclosures around the work area to prevent dust, paint chips, or odors from migrating to active production lines.

  2. Surface Prep: We use dust-free vacuum blasting and diamond grinding to remove old, failing coatings. A coating is only as good as its bond.

  3. Low-Odor Materials: We use 100% Solids epoxies and Zero-VOC urethanes. This means no solvent smell will taint your food products.

  4. Inspection: We verify proper cure times and dry film thickness (DFT) before handing the area back to you for production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you paint over wet or damp surfaces? A: Yes. We have specialized moisture-tolerant epoxies that can be applied to damp concrete or in high-humidity wash bays without failing.

Q: What if I have a USDA audit next week? A: Call us for Emergency Service. We can mobilize a crew immediately to patch floors, paint rusted pipes, and touch up walls to help you pass inspection.

Q: Do these coatings resist harsh chemicals? A: Absolutely. Our Novolac Epoxies and Urethane Cements are engineered to withstand daily exposure to caustic cleaners, acids, and sanitizers used in CIP (Clean-In-Place) protocols.
