Polyurethane Cement
A polyurethane cement-based floor finish - such as UCRETE, Crete PU or PurCem - offers exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, extreme mechanical resistance and reliable temperature change resistance. Thus Polyurethane cement floors excellent resistance to thermal shock from steam cleaning, for example.
As the name suggests, polyurethane cement is a screed consisting of a mixture of polyurethane and cement. The homogeneous and seamless flooring systems are heavy-duty, odourless, solvent-free and available in a limited number of colours.
The polyurethane (PU) cement floors shown above are used in the food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The floor surface is impermeable due to its high density and can withstand temperatures of up to 120 °C at a layer thickness of 9 mm.
Polyurethane cement floor systems meet the strictest hygiene and cleaning requirements and are ideally suited in locations where a robust floor with a long lifespan is required. With staff safety in mind, skid resistance and anti-slip values are also adjustable as required.
This not only makes the floor safer for pedestrians, but also increases traction and stability for vehicles. This makes the floor less prone to slipping and reduces accidents in the car park.
A major advantage over other synthetic resin-bonded floor systems is that polyurethane cement screed can be applied to a damp substrate, which is a huge advantage in renovations.
Polyurethane cement is also easy to clean and maintain. The smoothness of the floor allows for easy and efficient cleaning, so the floor always looks neat. Moreover, the floor is also hygienic, which is important in an environment where many vehicles come and go.
One of the biggest advantages of polyurethane cement is its durability. It is resistant to wear and damage from heavy traffic loads, offering a long service life. Moreover, it is also resistant to liquids, oil and other chemicals, making it ideal for application in car parks where these factors may be present.
