Concrete

Examples of where you might find concrete:

• Floors
• Walls
• Countertops and other work surfaces

Notes about the surface:

• Acid can corrode concrete.
• Unsealed concrete is a porous surface and can be difficult to clean and sanitize.
• Rough and porous surfaces should be given a smooth finish. You can use an approved coating to make the concrete surface cleanable.
• Unsealed concrete is not recommended for food contact surfaces.
• Sealed concrete may be non-porous but only when sealant is applied and maintained properly.
• Work with a concrete sealant manufacturer to choose the appropriate product for your operation.
• If sealed concrete will be used as a food contact surface, be sure to use a food-safe sealant.
