Food-Grade Powder Coatings

USDA/FDA-Approved

When it comes to purity and quality, it’s important for food manufacturers and food processing plants to have the right materials to meet the standards of the Federal Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As for non-stick/release properties, our coatings go one step further by improving the food production overall. From molds and mixers to hoppers, Southwest Impreglon’s proprietary and tradename coating solutions are designed to give the food industry the ultimate advantage.
