Ure-Crete™ SLB Cementitious Urethane Flooring System

Description

Aperçu du produit

Ure-Crete™ SLB is a high-performance, 100% solids cementitious urethane flooring system designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments. This innovative solution combines the strength of cement with the flexibility and chemical resistance of urethane chemistry, creating a seamless, self-leveling floor. It delivers exceptional durability, thermal shock resistance, and moisture mitigation, eliminating the need for a primer in most cases. As a result, Ure-Crete™ SLB provides a long-lasting, low-maintenance, and safe flooring solution for facilities that require superior performance under heavy traffic and harsh conditions.

Common Challenges & Application Scenarios

Industrial and commercial floors face constant abuse that leads to costly downtime and repairs. Common pain points include:

• Dusting & Degradation: Constant traffic and impact cause traditional concrete floors to dust, creating contamination and air quality issues.

• Attaque chimique : Spills from oils, acids, solvents, and cleaning agents can degrade standard coatings, leading to staining, softening, and failure.

• Cracking & Impact Damage: Heavy loads, forklift traffic, and thermal cycling cause cracks in rigid flooring systems, compromising integrity and creating trip hazards.

• Hygiène et nettoyabilité : Porous surfaces or cracked floors harbor bacteria, mold, and dirt, making them unsuitable for facilities with strict sanitary standards.

• Slippery Surfaces: Wet or oily conditions pose significant safety risks without adequate slip resistance.

Specific scenarios where Ure-Crete™ SLB excels:

• Transformation des aliments et des boissons : Resists harsh sanitation chemicals, acids, and sugars while providing a seamless, easy-to-clean finish that meets USDA/FDA guidelines.

• Logistics & Warehousing: Withstands extreme abrasion from pallet jacks and forklifts, and resists impact from dropped goods.

• Light Manufacturing & Automotive: Handles thermal shock from hot tire pick-up and resists stains from oils, greases, and hydraulic fluids.

• Commercial Kitchens & Institutional Settings: Its moisture-mitigating properties and slip-resistant texture ensure safety and durability in wet, high-traffic areas.

Solution & Key Features

Ure-Crete™ SLB directly addresses these challenges with its unique cementitious urethane formulation. Unlike brittle coating options, it offers a balanced solution.

• Mechanical Durability: Provides outstanding compressive strength (9,000+ psi) and impact resistance to handle heavy loads and point impacts without cracking. Its flexibility accommodates minor substrate movement.

• Résistance chimique supérieure : The urethane topcoat offers a broad range of resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, and many solvents, protecting the substrate from corrosive spills.

• Sans couture et hygiénique : The fluid-applied, self-leveling system creates a monolithic surface with no grout lines or seams, preventing dirt and moisture entrapment for easy cleaning and superior hygiene.

• Safety First: The broadcast quartz aggregate provides a permanent, slip-resistant texture, meeting or exceeding wet and dry coefficient of friction standards (>0.6 static, >0.42 dynamic wet).

• Thermal Shock & Moisture Tolerant: Exceptional resistance to thermal cycling prevents delamination or cracking. Its body coat mitigates moisture vapor transmission, making it suitable for many problem slabs.

• Aesthetic & Customizable: Available in a range of standard and custom colors. It can be finished with various topcoats (gloss, satin, matte) to meet specific aesthetic or performance needs.

Installation & Professional Support

Professional installation by certified contractors is crucial for optimal performance. The key steps include:

1. Préparation de la surface : Concrete substrate is shot-blasted to a CSP 3-4 profile to ensure a clean, sound, and properly profiled surface—the most critical step for long-term adhesion.

2. Primer (If Required): In most environments, the moisture-mitigating body coat eliminates the need for a primer. For highly porous substrates, a specific primer is applied.

3. Basecoat & Broadcast: The cementitious urethane mortar is mixed and poured, then self-leveled with a squeegee. High-purity quartz aggregate is broadcast into the wet material to create the slip-resistant texture.

4. Topcoat Application: After curing and removing loose aggregate, a chemical-resistant urethane or polyurethane topcoat is applied to seal the system and provide the final finish and performance properties.

5. Curing: The system requires specific cure times (typically 8-24 hours for light traffic) depending on temperature before returning to full service.

Our technical support includes: pre-installation consultations, specification writing, jobsite audits, and dedicated application guidance to ensure your project’s success from slab to finish.

FAQ

Q: What is the main difference between a cementitious urethane and an epoxy floor?
A: While both are high-performance, cementitious urethane systems like Ure-Crete™ SLB offer superior flexibility, thermal shock resistance (withstands freeze-thaw cycles and hot tire pick-up), and better moisture tolerance. Epoxies are typically harder but more brittle.

Q: How long does the installation process take?
A: For a typical area, surface prep can take 1 day, with the Ure-Crete™ SLB system installation (primer, basecoat/broadcast, topcoat) completed over 2-3 days, followed by a curing period. Schedule depends on size, conditions, and system design.

Q: Can Ure-Crete™ SLB be installed over an existing concrete floor?
A: Yes, absolutely. Existing concrete must be properly prepared via mechanical shot-blasting or diamond grinding to remove contaminants and create the necessary surface profile. A moisture test is also recommended.

Q: What is the typical lifespan and maintenance required?
A: With proper installation, expect a service life of 10+ years in heavy industrial settings. Maintenance is simple: regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with neutral pH cleaners. Avoid harsh acidic or solvent-based cleaners.
