Polyurethane concrete is a high-performance flooring system created by combining chemically processed polyurethane resins with special aggregate fillers. This flooring is known for its exceptional mechanical and chemical resistance, making it highly durable in demanding industrial environments. It withstands heavy loads, impacts, abrasion, intense chemical exposure, and temperature fluctuations.
It is suitable for extreme conditions, ranging from -40°C to +120°C, and offers excellent thermal shock resistance, making it ideal for cold storage and areas exposed to significant temperature variations. The slip-resistant surface enhances workplace safety by reducing accident risks in industrial and commercial settings.
Polyurethane concrete is available in smooth or textured finishes and can be enhanced with colored quartz for both functional and aesthetic purposes. It is typically applied in standard thicknesses of 4 mm, 6 mm, and 9 mm, with the option to incorporate antistatic conductive properties when required.
Features
- Chemical Resistance: Provides exceptional durability against organic and inorganic chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents. Ideal for chemical and pharmaceutical industries and food processing plants exposed to acetic acid, lactic acid, and nitric acid.
- Mechanical Strength: Offers high compressive strength of up to 55 N/mm², making it highly resistant to heavy loads, impacts, and wear. Commonly used in factories with forklift traffic and heavy equipment.
- Temperature Resistance: Withstands extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for cold storage and high-temperature industrial processes.
- Thermal Shock Resistance: Resistant to sudden temperature changes, ensuring long-lasting performance in food processing plants and industrial kitchens where frequent hot-cold cycles occur.
- Hygiene and Cleanability: Its antimicrobial and non-absorbent surface makes it ideal for hygiene-critical environments such as food and pharmaceutical industries. HACCP-certified and easy to clean.
- Water and Moisture Resistance: Completely impermeable and moisture-resistant, ensuring protection in wet environments like food processing and chemical manufacturing. Can be applied directly on 7-day-old concrete without a primer for fast-track installations.
- Seamless and Dust-Free: Forms a joint-free, seamless surface, preventing contaminants, dirt, and microorganisms from infiltrating, ensuring easy maintenance.
- Color and Texture Options: Available in smooth or textured finishes with decorative colored quartz for aesthetic and functional flooring solutions.
- Eco-Friendly and Low VOC: Produces minimal VOC emissions, ensuring safe indoor air quality and environmental sustainability.
