Urethane cement flooring systems are engineered for harsh industrial environments.
A urethane cement floor system—also known as urethane concrete, polyurethane cement, or PUC—is a high-performance flooring system that combines urethane resin, cement, water, and aggregate fillers. It is specifically engineered for harsh industrial environments where extreme durability, thermal shock resistance, and chemical resistance are critical.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:
- Exceptional Thermal Shock Resistance
- High Chemical Resistance
- Moisture Tolerant Installation
- Heavy-duty Impact and Load Performance
- Resistant to High Humidity and Steam Cleaning
- Low Odor and Low VOC Formulation
- Long-Term Dimensional Stability
- Matte, Functional Appearance as is
- Diversity of Final Finishes Components
SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
- Base Coat (Pigmented Urethane Cement)
- Broadcast Silica Sand
- Pigmented Urethane Cement Topcoat
- Variations in components can be made with decorative features
Common Applications:
Food & Beverage Processing Plants – Urethane cement systems are the standard choice for food and beverage facilities exposed to hot water washdowns, organic acids, fats, and frequent cleaning cycles. They maintain bond and performance in environments where steam, moisture, and chemical exposure are daily conditions.
Commercial Kitchens & Dishwashing Areas – In restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens, these systems resist thermal shock from hot spills and cleaning, withstand heavy foot traffic, and provide slip resistance even in wet, greasy conditions.
Breweries & Distilleries – Brewery environments expose flooring to acids, sugars, and rapid temperature swings. Urethane cement withstands these challenges, maintaining integrity around brew kettles, fermenters, and packaging zones.
Dairies & Beverage Bottling Facilities – Constant moisture, lactic acids, and cleaning chemicals can quickly degrade standard flooring. Urethane cement floors maintain their surface and adhesion, supporting sanitary conditions required for milk, juice, and beverage production.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech Facilities – Cleanroom environments benefit from the seamless, chemical-resistant, and easy-to-sanitize surface of urethane cement systems. They perform well under frequent washdowns and meet GMP compliance standards.
Cold Storage & Freezer Rooms – These systems tolerate extreme temperature variations and maintain adhesion even at low substrate temperatures, making them ideal for freezers, coolers, and refrigerated warehouses.
Chemical Processing & Manufacturing Plants – Urethane cement’s resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents makes it suitable for production areas where chemical spills or corrosive exposure may occur.
Animal Care & Veterinary Facilities – The seamless surface resists animal waste, cleaning agents, and high humidity—supporting odor control, sanitation, and slip safety in kennels, veterinary labs, and animal holding areas.
Packaging, Bottling & Washdown Zones – Areas with frequent wet cleaning or equipment sanitation benefit from urethane cement’s moisture tolerance, non-slip surface, and ability to withstand repeated washdowns without delamination or surface erosion.
