General:

Temperatures below 5ºC will prevail in most cold storage rooms, the actual operating temperature depending on the particular food product being preserved.

A further requirement would be resistance to various destructive influences such as water and ice, salts, fats, oils, blood, fruit juices, etc. The paint coating used must also be non-toxic and should not taint food.

Two main products are recommended:
Dekro Hydrosilk for plaster surfaces and Clorinated Rubber for all metals, wood, composition board and plaster.

Preparation:

New:
Prepare the various surfaces as described under the appropriate headings.

Previously painted:
Prepare the various surfaces as described under the appropriate headings. Particular care must be taken to remove all traces of contaminants such as fats, oils, salts, etc.

Where Epoxy Enamel is to replace an old non-epoxy coating, the old coating must be removed completely if not compatible.
