The Ultimate Urethane Mortar Floor Solution for High-Traffic Cold Storage Flooring

Urethane Mortar Floor Solution for High-Traffic Cold Storage Flooring

In the era of carbon neutrality and high-quality development, cold chain logistics and food processing companies face increasing demands for operational cost reduction, energy efficiency, and safety. In fact, flooring selection is a critical factor influencing these aspects. Traditional floors often perform poorly in low-temperature environments, while water based urethane mortar flooring has emerged as an ideal solution for cold storage facilities.

Traditional Flooring: Multiple Challenges in Cold Environments

Traditional flooring presents numerous issues in low-temperature settings. Conventional concrete floors are low-cost but suffer from freeze-thaw damage, leading to dusting and cracking, which threatens hygiene and safety.

#Abrasive-resistant floors are surface-hard but lack integrity; joint water infiltration can cause base layer frost heave.
#Terrazzo flooring is aesthetic but complex to install; it is prone to hollowing and cracking in low temperatures, with hidden bacteria in seams and short service life.
#Epoxy resin floors are prone to blistering when wet, become brittle and prone to delamination or bubbling in cold conditions, contain VOCs, and require frequent repairs within less than two years.

These issues not only increase maintenance costs and impact operational efficiency but also pose safety risks. Moreover, they contradict the global trend of green and sustainable development in terms of energy consumption and environmental protection.

Urethane Mortar: A Green Choice for Energy Savings

In contrast, water based urethane mortar flooring is an ideal solution for cold chain facilities, excelling particularly in energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and sustainability.

In terms of energy savings, its seamless monolithic structure is a standout feature, forming an efficient insulation layer that effectively blocks heat exchange between the interior and exterior of the cold storage. Its ability to withstand temperatures from -40°C to 150°C makes it highly effective in extreme cold environments, reducing cold air loss. This directly allows the refrigeration system to operate without sustained high intensity, lowering energy consumption by 3%-8%. Over time, this not only saves significant energy costs but also substantially reduces carbon emissions. With global focus on carbon neutrality goals, this feature enables cold chain companies to actively respond to environmental policies, gain an advantage in green transformation, and contribute powerfully to sustainable development.

Additionally, its environmental benefits extend throughout its lifecycle. As a food-grade eco-friendly material, it releases no volatiles during production, preventing environmental pollution at the source and ensuring a clean production environment. At the end of its service life, it can degrade naturally without generating hard-to-dispose construction waste, truly achieving an environmental from production to disposal. Its formaldehyde-free nature complies fully with HACCP international food certification standards, ensuring hygiene and safety in food processing and storage environments. This comprehensive environmental performance allows cold chain companies to pursue economic benefits while fulfilling their environmental responsibilities, aligning with green sustainability requirements and helping to build a green supply chain.
