Industrial floor for edible oil plant
Croatia
An industrial floor with extremely high resistance to chemical attack, mechanical impact and high temperatures was to be installed in a new edible oil production hall in Čepin, Croatia. The client, the Žito Group, opted for MC-DUR PowerCoat 240 PU/cement hybrid flooring from MC, which fully met the high requirements of the tender.

The Žito Group is one of the leading food companies in Croatia, specialising in the production of high-quality commestibles. Founded in 1992, it now employs over 1,500 people and unites around thirty brands under one roof.
New production hall for edible oil factory
Built in 1942 in the town of Čepin in eastern Croatia, the Žito Group’s edible oil factory underwent extensive modernisation in 2017, including the construction of new silos, an extraction plant and a floor storage area for sunflower seeds. As the capacity of this production facility was no longer sufficient, a new production hall was due to be built in 2022, requiring installation of a flooring system with high chemical and mechanical resistance.
Robust floor construction for a demanding industrial environment
The contractor, Visio d.o.o. from Osijek, brought MC on board as a partner. Together, the two companies recommended to the Žito Group a floor structure using the heavy-duty, flowable PU/cement hybrid flooring compound MC-DUR PowerCoat 240, a special product based on a PU-cement mixture and developed specifically for highly stressed surfaces in the food, metal and chemical industries, as well as in washing and tank interior cleaning facilities.
It can withstand a wide range of the toughest stresses, whether mechanical from forklift trucks, impact from falling tools or chemical attack from oils or acids. It is also suitable for areas that are exposed to different forms of chemical attack occurring simultaneously. In addition, the hybrid system can withstand temperatures up to 80 °C and is also suitable for light steam cleaning.
Strong and durable with MC-DUR PowerCoat
The floor was built up with MC-DUR PowerCoat in October and November 2022 over an area of 1,250 m². After priming with MC-DUR PowerCoat 200, the self-levelling floor coating MC-DUR PowerCoat 240 was applied in a layer thickness of 4 to 6 mm and spread with a squeegee. To make the new floor more slip-resistant, the surface was then sprinkled with kiln-dried quartz sand and sealed with MC-DUR PowerCoat 200. The highly resistant industrial floor in the new production hall of the oil mill in Čepin has since withstood a variety of extreme loads and stresses, providing the Žito Group with a safe, durable and hygienic solution for this site.
