Urethane Modified Concrete
Urethane Modified Concrete is a high-strength, high-barrier floor coating system. Urethane modified concrete is designed for use in the most demanding food and beverage processing areas where high resistance to impact, abrasion and chemical resistance to organic food acids is required. The product is a modified urethane with Portland cement, water, aggregate and other fine materials.
The Urethane Modified Concrete system is double the strength of concrete and can be installed in thicknesses varying from 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch. It is also self-leveling and can be laid as a stand-alone product or decorative quartz/flake. This coating can also be installed with additional topcoats to provide for additional wear protection or non-skid properties.
What Makes Urethane Modified Concrete Superior?
It Creates a Liquid Barrier
- Unlike concrete, the Urethane Modified Concrete system is impervious to water and various other liquids. This quality makes it ideal for the food and beverage industry, as well as any industry that requires a daily wash down and/or sterilization, such as the pharmaceutical industry.
Seamless Application
- This system can also be installed with a seamless application. Maintaining a seamless floor throughout the entirety of a facility can help decrease the level of bacteria or harmful chemicals getting stuck in the seams.
Thermal Stability
- Urethane Modified Concrete offers a thermal stability, allowing it to withstand extreme temperature swings from -330°F to +240°F. This system can also expand and contract at the same rate as concrete, allowing for a very low risk of bending, buckling, or cracking.
Another great advantage this system has over traditional epoxy floors is that you can install it over green concrete. This means you don’t have to worry about any residual moisture in the concrete slowing up your new construction schedule.
