Hygienic ceiling refurbishment for Taiwan micro brewery

Hygienic ceiling refurbishment for Taiwan micro brewery

Flexcrete was specified for the hygienic refurbishment of a total of 600m2 of ceiling areas at Long Sun Brewing.

Established in 2002, Long Sun Brewing was Taiwan’s first licensed microbrewery. Their primary microbrewery is based in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and the company required a hygienic ceiling coating which would be able to withstand the harsh conditions in the brewing area without deteriorating.

Biodex Sheen, a tough, waterborne, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial hygiene coating, was specified for application to the ceilings in the microbrewery due to its proven ability to combat the growth of mould, bacteria and yeasts. It prevents the growth of micro-organisms through an innovative combination of encapsulated in-film protectant and silver ions. It is also able to withstand extreme conditions such as high humidity and thermal shock caused by sudden changes in temperature.

The waterborne nature of Biodex Sheen was absolutely critical for this project, as the coating could be rapidly and safely applied by roller and brush without any risk of contamination as it is non-toxic, non-leaching, non-tainting and ultra-low odour. The use of solvent-free materials was a vital consideration, as odour contamination of products can potentially have serious, and costly, implications in breweries.

Two coats of Biodex Sheen can be applied in a single working day, so disruption is kept to an absolute minimum. Once in service, Biodex Sheen is highly resilient and is able to withstand extreme temperature changes from -50°C. to +80°C. without cracking or flaking. The advanced styrene acrylic micropolymer resin binder crosslinks to afford excellent adhesion which remains unaffected even when substrate moisture escapes to the atmosphere through the membrane.
