Urethane Cement Floors

Urethane cement flooring is a high-performance solution that combines polyurethane and cementitious components to create a seamless, durable surface. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, it is ideal for industries requiring robust flooring systems that can endure thermal shock, chemical exposure, and heavy traffic.

Key Benefits of Urethane Cement

  • Exceptional resistance to chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents

  • Superior durability under heavy mechanical stress and abrasion

  • Thermal shock resistance, suitable for environments with rapid temperature changes

  • Seamless, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and maintain

  • Excellent moisture tolerance, allowing installation over green concrete

Deep Dive Into Urethane Cement

System Components

  • Primer: Enhances adhesion between the substrate and the urethane cement layer.

  • Urethane Cement Base Coat: A blend of polyurethane resin, Portland cement, aggregates, and other fine materials that form the primary layer.

  • Topcoat (Optional): Provides additional protection and can be customized for slip resistance or aesthetic preferences.

Technical Specifications

  • Thickness: Typically installed at 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness, depending on application requirements.

  • Compressive Strength: High compressive strength suitable for heavy-duty applications.

  • Thermal Resistance: Can withstand temperatures ranging from -330°F to +240°F, making it ideal for areas subjected to extreme temperature variations.

Suitable Environments

  • Food and beverage processing facilities

  • Commercial kitchens

  • Pharmaceutical and chemical processing plants

  • Warehouses and distribution centers

  • Manufacturing facilities

  • Cold storage areas

Urethane Cement Application Process

Step by Step Guide

  • Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean and prepare the concrete substrate to ensure it is free from contaminants, oils, and debris.

  • Primer Application: Apply a suitable primer to promote adhesion between the substrate and the urethane cement layer.

  • Mixing: Combine the polyurethane resin with Portland cement, aggregates, and other additives according to manufacturer specifications.

  • Application: Spread the mixed urethane cement onto the primed surface using trowels or squeegees to achieve the desired thickness.

  • Finishing: Optional broadcast of aggregates or application of a topcoat to achieve the desired surface texture and slip resistance.

  • Curing: Allow the flooring system to cure as per manufacturer guidelines before resuming normal operations.
