The ceiling in the Fruit Room was power tool cleaned to remove rust and primed with epoxy prior to coating. The ceiling area included the duct work, cross beams, boxes, hangers and conduit.The owner selected a food grade reinforced coating for the steel members to reduce corrosion; FIBERLIFE a fiberglass reinforced plastic consisting of a food grade resin and fiberglass mat reinforcement was hand laid up.  The result of both rooms was a food grade protective coating that will not chip, peel or flake for many years to come.

TMI FIBERLIFE Coating

TMI FIBERLIFE is a low odor, fiberglass-reinforced coating that protects ceilings and walls against acids and alkalis. The coating provides a seamless surface for easy cleaning and is ideal for use in food and beverage plants where peeling paint cannot be tolerated. TMI FIBERLIFE meets USDA requirements for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Because of the fiberglass reinforcement, TMI FIBERLIFE is tough and durable; yet, it still works well in light industrial situations. The coating can be applied by spraying or laid up by hand.
