TerraFlex™ MC Sistema de suelo de uretano cementoso

Descripción

For facility managers, contractors, and project specifiers seeking a durable, high-performance flooring solution, the challenges are clear: concrete floors that crack, dust, stain, and degrade under heavy industrial use. The search for a system that combines the strength of cement with the flexibility and chemical resistance of urethane ends here. TerraFlex™ MC is a state-of-the-art cementitious urethane flooring system designed to deliver unparalleled longevity and performance in the toughest settings.

Descripción general del producto: ¿Qué es TerraFlex™ MC?

TerraFlex™ MC is a 100% solids, self-leveling hybrid flooring system with a nominal thickness of 1/8” to 3/16”. This advanced solution combines a rugged cementitious urethane base coat with rapid-curing, high-performance topcoats. The result is a seamless, decorative chip finish that offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure. Engineered for industrial and commercial facilities where downtime is costly, it provides a durable, easy-to-clean, and aesthetically versatile coating that protects your concrete substrate for years to come.

El reto de los suelos industriales: Puntos débiles comunes

Standard concrete floors and even some epoxy coating systems fall short under continuous stress. Key challenges include:

• Daños mecánicos: Forklift traffic, dropped tools, and rolling loads cause cracks, chips, and pitting in standard mortar and concrete.

• Ataque químico: Spills from oils, solvents, acids, and cleaning agents degrade many floor paint and sealer options, leading to stains and softening.

• Transmisión de humedad y vapor: Sub-slab moisture can blister and delaminate impermeable flooring systems, a critical failure point.

• Higiene y limpieza: Porous surfaces harbor bacteria and are difficult to sanitize, a major concern for food processing and pharmaceutical companies.

• Tiempo de inactividad prolongado: Lengthy cure times for traditional coating systems disrupt operations and increase project cost.

La solución TerraFlex™ MC: Características principales y ventajas

Durabilidad y rendimiento inigualables

• Resistencia superior a la abrasión y al impacto: The cementitious urethane hybrid matrix withstands severe mechanical wear, far outperforming standard epoxy or polyurethane systems.

• Resistencia química excepcional: Muy resistente a una amplia gama de productos químicos, como aceites, grasas, ácidos diluidos y álcalis, lo que la hace ideal para plantas de fabricación y laboratorios.

• Sistema tolerante a la humedad: Can be installed over substrates with relative humidity up to 99%, mitigating risks associated with vapor drive—a game-changer for many installation scenarios.

• Curación rápida y retorno al servicio: Las capas de acabado se curan en tan solo 30-60 minutos, lo que permite aplicar capas rápidamente y reducir significativamente el tiempo de inactividad de las instalaciones.

• Acabado sin costuras e higiénico: Una superficie monolítica sin líneas de lechada ni juntas evita la acumulación de suciedad y permite una limpieza fácil y a fondo.

• Estabilidad UV y térmica: Resiste el amarilleamiento y la degradación por la luz solar y puede soportar ciclos térmicos importantes, por lo que es adecuado para aplicaciones exteriores y espacios sin calefacción.

Flexibilidad estética y seguridad

• Chip decorativo Broadcast: Disponible en una amplia gama de mezclas de colores estándar y personalizados para mejorar la estética y la imagen de marca de las instalaciones.

• Textura antideslizante: El sistema de virutas al voleo proporciona una superficie con una textura natural que mejora la resistencia al deslizamiento, incluso cuando está mojada, contribuyendo a un entorno de trabajo más seguro.

Instalación y asistencia profesionales

A successful installation is paramount to performance. The TerraFlex™ MC system requires professional application by certified contractors.

1. Preparación de la superficie: Concrete must be shot-blasted to a CSP 3-4 profile, clean, sound, and dry.

2. Pruebas de humedad: Critical evaluation using ASTM methods to ensure substrate compatibility.

3. Aplicación de imprimación: Used on porous substrates to ensure optimal bond.

4. Base Coat & Chip Broadcast: Self-leveling cementitious urethane is applied and immediately broadcast with decorative chips.

5. Broadcast Coat: A resin coat locks in the chips and builds thickness.

6. Aplicación de la capa final: One or two seal coats are applied for maximum chemical and abrasion resistance.

Preguntas más frecuentes (FAQ)

What is the difference between a cementitious urethane and an epoxy flooring system?
Cementitious urethane systems like TerraFlex™ MC offer superior flexibility, thermal shock resistance, and moisture tolerance compared to most epoxies. They are less brittle, which helps bridge minor substrate cracks, and cure faster, reducing downtime.

How long does the TerraFlex™ MC installation process take?
While dependent on area size and conditions, the system features rapid cure times (30-60 mins per topcoat). A full installation over a properly prepared slab can often be completed within 2-3 days, with quick return-to-service.

Can this system be installed in cold or damp conditions?
Application requires air and substrate temperatures between 60°F and 85°F. However, its moisture tolerance allows installation over concrete with up to 99% relative humidity, addressing common damp slab challenges.

What maintenance does a TerraFlex™ MC floor require?
Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with neutral pH cleaners are typically sufficient. The seamless, non-porous surface resists staining and is easy to keep clean.
