At Linley Valley Pork, a great experience with our Nitoflor PU600 with Nitoflor PU200 polyurethane cement system led the business to choose the same system again, six years later.
They were so happy with the results in the cool room that they chose to use it again to ensure safe, non-slip flooring for the expansion of two new freezer rooms.
Hard wearing, abrasion resistant Nitoflor PU600-200 system
Linley Valley Pork is the largest fresh pork supplier in Western Australia servicing the retail, food service and export markets.
Fosroc ANZ met the needs of the company in 2017, when a hard wearing, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing solution was required for its new cool room, marshalling area and loading dock.
Linley Valley Pork was so impressed with the results that it partnered with Fosroc again in 2023 to deliver safe and resilient flooring for their expansion of two new freezer rooms taking up 1000 square metres.
Nitoflor PU600-200: the right system for Linley Valley Pork
In 2017, the Nitoflor PU600 with Nitoflor PU200 polyurethane cement system was chosen for its hard wearing, anti-slip qualities.
"This project’s challenges included different expected temperatures for the cool room and various gradients on the floor due to the drainage waste strip," explains Fosroc ANZ Field Sales Manager Ron Ierino. "As Linley Valley Pork is part of the food production industry, the selected products also had to be anti-microbial."
Why was Nitoflor PU600-200 chosen again?
Fast forward to 2023 and Linley Valley Pork required safe, resilient, slip-resistant flooring for two new freezer rooms taking up 1000 square metres.
Ron says the Nitoflor PU600-200 system was the ideal solution.
“The asset owner had already seen from the previous applications in other parts of the abattoir that the system is very robust," he said.
“Slippage has not been an issue in the cool rooms where the Nitoflor PU600-200 system was applied in 2017. These cool rooms have also proven very easy to clean. The feedback has been that the floors look brand new after clean-up every day,” Ron says.
Certified for the food production industry
Strict food safety regulations apply to every stage of food production. Importantly, the Nitoflor PU600-200 system is HACCP certified, meaning it is approved for use in food and beverage facilities such as Linley Valley Pork. It meets consumer food safety standards, is non-toxic and easy to clean.
Additional Nitoflor PU600-200 system benefits include:
- Handles extreme temperatures
- High chemical resistance
- Hard wearing – abrasion resistant
- Low odour and non-tainting during application
- Excellent slip resistance properties with aggregates broadcast
- Fast turnaround times.
Return to service a factor
For Linley Valley's new freezers, Ron says the entire flooring installation project took only a few days.
"That includes preparation, application of the base PU600 coat, the anti-slip aggregate and the PU200 topcoat."
"A big plus is that the system is fast drying. It can handle foot traffic after 24 hours and vehicle traffic after 48 hours," Ron says. "At Linley Valley Pork, that meant the new freezers were ready for use very quickly,"
Now, thanks to Nitoflor PU600-200, Linley Valley Pork's new freezer room floors are providing the safe, hygienic, hard-wearing and easy-to-clean surface this busy abattoir requires.
