The Benefits and Drawbacks of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Resin for Industrial Food Production Flooring

At Colorado Concrete Repair, we pride ourselves on providing flooring solutions that meet the specific demands of industrial food production. One of the most popular options for food production facilities is Methyl Methacrylate resin. Methyl Methacrylate resin offers many advantages, but like any material, it also comes with a few drawbacks. In this blog, we’ll explore the pros and cons of Methyl Methacrylate resin for industrial food production flooring. The Pros 1.

In comparison to epoxy or polyurethane systems, which can take days to fully cure, MMA resin hardens in as little as two hours. This speed minimizes operational downtime, making it perfect for busy food production facilities that need to maintain constant operations. 2.
