Manufacturing & Process
For process industries that cannot accept coating failure: sanitary compliance, chemical resistance and high-performance flooring for the most demanding environments.
The segment
The segment with the widest range of applications
Manufacturing & Process brings together industries with distinct demands but one shared pain: coatings that fail cause downtime, contaminate products, compromise regulatory compliance and generate costs far beyond the rework itself. We serve this segment with systems developed for each type of environment: sanitary, chemical, abrasive, humid or heavy traffic.
Verticals served
Four verticals. Systems formulated for each environment.
Food & Beverage
FDA/NSF compliance, CIP cleaning resistance, structural protection in humid environments with intense thermal variation.

The segment's main challenges
Contamination from coating failure
In food and beverage plants, failure of tank and surface coatings can contaminate product, cost an entire batch and trigger regulatory penalties.
Premature floor wear
Floors in high-traffic, high-impact industrial environments must withstand heavy loads, chemicals and thermal variation without cracking or peeling.
Long maintenance shutdowns
Every hour of downtime has a measurable operating cost. Systems requiring long cure times or multi-shift application hit productivity directly.
Regional regulatory compliance
FDA, NSF, ANVISA and local regulations define what may and may not contact food, medicines and drinking water. Compliance is not optional.
Simultaneous chemical and mechanical resistance
Process environments combine exposure to aggressive chemicals with intense physical abrasion, demanding systems formulated for both at once.
Standards
Applicable standards
FDA 21 CFR
Compliance for food-contact coatings, the US reference, adopted as the standard by multinationals in Brazil.
NSF/ANSI 61
Certification for coatings in contact with drinking water, mandatory for treated water storage tanks.
ISO 12944
Corrosion environment categorization, the basis for specifying paint systems on industrial structures.
ABNT NBR
Brazilian technical standards for floor coatings, anticorrosive protection and industrial paint systems.
