Same Cooler. Transformed.

Polarcoat renews deteriorated cold room walls and ceilings without shutting down — no panel replacement, no disruption to operations.

Applied in-place. No removal of food or merchandise. No temperature disruption.

What Is Polarcoat

Refrigeration & Cleanroom Coating That Works Where Others Fail

Polarcoat can be applied and will cure without raising the temperatures in cold rooms — and without having to remove sensitive merchandise or refrigerated foods. There's no risk of contamination from evaporated solvents or paint odors.

It forms a high-gloss, tough monolithic surface that minimizes the potential for germ and bacteria growth. Polarcoat was developed specifically for cold rooms, walk-in freezers, cold storage facilities, medical facilities, and cleanrooms where an easy-to-clean surface really matters.

Polarcoat offers virtual renewal without the disruption and expense of replacing wall or ceiling panels.

100% solvent free formula. No toxic fumes, no odors — safe to apply in occupied cold rooms near food products.

❄️

Cures Below Freezing

Uniquely formulated to cure in temperatures as low as 23°F — no need to shut down or warm up your cold room.

🧱

Monolithic Surface

Creates a seamless, joint-free enclosure with jointing fabric — no crevices for bacteria or germs to accumulate.

Easy Single-Component Application

No mixing required. Applies easily by brush, roller, or spray. Open containers can be resealed for later use.

🔩

Bonds to Almost Any Surface

Adheres to glass, ceramic tile, concrete, metal (including stainless steel), GRP, wood, and more — without priming most surfaces.

🦠

Retards Bacterial Growth

Non-porous, high-gloss finish minimizes the potential for germ and bacteria growth — critical in food handling environments.

High Gloss Smooth Finish

Cures to a bright white, high-gloss surface that is easy to inspect, easy to clean, and looks professional.
