Quick answer: Food grade PU flooring in Bangladesh is a seamless PU concrete hybrid floor coating – such as DPF Ducrete MF – used in food, beverage and dairy plants. It is non-porous, easy to clean and resists hot water, steam cleaning, fats, sugars and food acids. Ducrete MF costs about ৳140 per sq ft at 3 mm and about ৳180 per sq ft at 4 mm.

In a food or beverage factory, the floor is part of the hygiene system. Cracked tiles, open joints and porous concrete trap water, dirt and bacteria, and they break down quickly under hot water, steam and cleaning chemicals. This guide explains what food grade PU flooring is, why it suits food plants in Bangladesh, which system to use in each zone and what it costs.
What Makes a Floor “Food Grade”?
A food grade floor should be:
- Seamless and non-porous – no joints or pores for bacteria to hide in.
- Easy to clean – it should handle daily wash-down and cleaning chemicals.
- Heat and thermal-shock resistant – hot water, steam and cold rooms should not crack it.
- Chemical resistant – fats, oils, sugars, milk, food acids and detergents should not damage it.
- Slip resistant – a textured finish keeps wet floors safe for workers.
- Properly detailed – coved skirting at walls and correct falls to drains.
Why PU Concrete Is the First Choice for Food Plants
PU concrete, also called a PU concrete hybrid floor coating, combines polyurethane resin with cement and aggregates. DPF’s Ducrete MF is designed for wet and demanding production areas. Compared with epoxy, PU concrete copes much better with hot water, steam cleaning and sudden temperature changes, and it is more tolerant of moisture in the concrete. That is why it is widely used in food processing, beverage, dairy, meat and bakery plants.
Choosing the Right Floor for Each Zone
| Area | Typical Conditions | Suggested System |
|---|---|---|
| Processing hall | Wet, fats, food acids, daily wash-down | Ducrete MF PU concrete, 4 mm |
| Wash-down and hot water areas | Hot water, steam, thermal shock | Ducrete MF PU concrete, thicker build |
| Cold rooms and chillers | Low temperature, condensation | Ducrete MF PU concrete |
| Packing and dry stores | Dry, light to medium traffic | Ducrete MF 3 mm or self-leveling epoxy |
| Corridors and loading areas | Trolleys, pallet trucks | Ducrete MF 3–4 mm |
The exact system and thickness are confirmed after a site inspection.
Coving, Drains and Details
Most hygiene problems start at the edges. A good food grade floor includes coved skirting where the floor meets the wall, so there is no corner for dirt to collect, and correct falls so that water runs to drains. Joints, drains and upstands should be sealed into the floor system.
Food Grade PU Flooring Cost in Bangladesh
| System | Thickness | Approx. Price (BDT / sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Ducrete MF PU Concrete | 3 mm | ৳ 140 |
| Ducrete MF PU Concrete | 4 mm | ৳ 180 |
Prices are approximate and change from time to time with raw-material and shipping costs. Material-only: a 20 kg Ducrete MF set costs about ৳5,000. Coving, drains and major concrete repairs are priced separately. See our PU concrete flooring price guide.
How Installation Works
- Site inspection – checking the concrete, moisture, falls and drains.
- Surface preparation – grinding or shot-blasting and repairing cracks.
- Detailing – coving, anchor grooves at edges and around drains.
- Application – laying Ducrete MF to the required thickness.
- Curing and handover – the floor is protected until it is ready for use.
Looking After a Food Grade Floor
Clean the floor daily with suitable food-industry cleaners, rinse away fats and sugars quickly, and inspect coving and drains regularly. Read more in our guide to maintaining epoxy and PU floors, or compare systems in epoxy vs PU flooring for food factories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is food grade PU flooring?
Food grade PU flooring is a seamless polyurethane floor, usually PU concrete, that is non-porous, easy to clean and resistant to hot water, steam, fats, sugars and food acids, making it suitable for food and beverage production areas.
How much does food grade PU flooring cost in Bangladesh?
As an approximate guide, DPF Ducrete MF PU concrete costs about ৳140 per sq ft at 3 mm and about ৳180 per sq ft at 4 mm, including materials and application. Prices change with raw-material and shipping costs, so the final price is confirmed after a site visit.
Is epoxy or PU better for a food factory?
PU concrete is usually better for wet processing and wash-down areas because it handles hot water and thermal shock. Epoxy can be used in dry areas such as packing rooms and dry stores.
Can PU flooring be installed in a running factory?
Yes. Work can be planned zone by zone, including night or weekend shifts, so that production can continue in other areas.
