3. Hygiene and Biosecurity
Maintaining a clean and biosecure environment is critical in poultry farming to prevent the spread of diseases. A seamless, easy-to-clean coating helps ensure that surfaces are free from pathogens and contaminants, reducing the risk of disease outbreaks and improving overall flock health.
4. Durability and Longevity
Poultry buildings are subject to constant wear and tear from the movement of birds, equipment, and personnel. A durable coating system helps protect the building from physical damage, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
5. Cost-Effectiveness
Investing in a high-quality coating system can save poultry farmers money in the long run by reducing maintenance costs, preventing structural damage, and minimizing the risk of disease-related losses. A reliable coating also ensures that the facility remains operational, avoiding costly downtime.
SANI-TRED’s Solution: Advanced Poultry Building Coating
SANI-TRED offers a comprehensive coating system designed specifically for poultry buildings. This system provides superior protection against moisture, chemicals, and physical wear, ensuring that your facility remains safe, sanitary, and durable. The SANI-TRED system consists of three primary components:
- PermaFlex™: The foundation of the SANI-TRED system, PermaFlex™ is a flexible, waterproof membrane that adheres to a variety of surfaces, including concrete, metal, and wood. PermaFlex™ creates a seamless, durable barrier that resists moisture infiltration, chemical attack, and physical damage.

Application Process: How to Apply SANI-TRED Poultry Coating
Applying SANI-TRED’s Poultry Building Coating is a straightforward process that can be completed by professionals or experienced facility maintenance teams. Here is an overview of the application process:
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is critical to the success of the SANI-TRED system. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the poultry building surfaces to remove any dirt, debris, oil, or old coatings. This can be done using a pressure washer, degreaser, and appropriate cleaning tools. If there are any cracks, gaps, or damaged areas, these should be repaired using SANI-TRED’s LRB and TAV products.
Step 2: Application of PermaFlex™
Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a base coat of PermaFlex™ to the entire area. Use a roller, brush, or sprayer to apply the coating evenly, making sure to cover all surfaces, including corners, edges, and transitions between different materials.
Step 3: Crack and Gap Filling with LRB and TAV
For areas with cracks, gaps, or voids, use a mixture of LRB and TAV to fill and level these imperfections. Apply the compound directly into the cracks or gaps, and use a trowel or putty knife to smooth it out. This step is especially important in high-stress areas where impacts, abrasion, or chemical exposure are most likely to occur.
Step 4: Final Coat of PermaFlex™
After the initial coat and any necessary repairs have been completed, apply a final coat of PermaFlex™ to seal the entire surface. This topcoat provides additional protection and ensures a uniform, durable finish that will stand up to the demands of poultry farming.
Step 5: Curing and Inspection
Allow the coating to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once cured, inspect the surface for any missed areas or defects. If necessary, apply additional coats to achieve the desired level of protection.
