TerraFlex™ MB Cementitious Urethane Flooring System

Description

Product Overview: 

TerraFlex™ MB is a solid-color, 3/16″-1/4″ thick hybrid cementitious urethane flooring system designed for high-traffic industrial and commercial spaces. The system utilizes a patented blend of a cementitious urethane base coat and fast-curing, high-performance topcoats, reinforced with a broadcast of natural quartz aggregate for enhanced slip resistance. It delivers exceptional wear, chemical, and moisture resistance, with a rapid installation process that minimizes business interruption. This makes it the ideal coating for facilities requiring a tough, reliable, and long-lasting flooring solution.

The Industrial Flooring Problem: Common Pain Points

In the demanding world of industrial and commercial facilities, your flooring system is a critical solution for safety, productivity, and longevity. Ordinary concrete floors crack, dust, and deteriorate under heavy traffic, chemical spills, and thermal stress, leading to costly downtime and repairs. Companies and contractors need a flooring coating that goes beyond a simple layer of paint – they need a robust, monolithic finish that becomes part of the structure itself.

Enter TerraFlex™ MB, a state-of-the-art cementitious urethane flooring system. This advanced hybrid mortar combines the rugged strength of modified cement with the superior flexibility and chemical resilience of polyurethane. Designed as a solution for the toughest environments, it delivers a seamless, durable, and easy-to-clean surface that stands up to decades of abuse.

Facility managers, contractors, and business owners face constant challenges with their concrete floors:

• Cracking and Spalling: Constant impact from forklifts and heavy equipment causes traditional concrete to crack and break apart.

• Dusting: Unsealed or worn floors generate harmful dust, contaminating products, damaging machinery, and creating health hazards.

• Attaque chimique : Spills from oils, acids, solvents, and sanitizers degrade standard paint and epoxy coatings, leading to softening, discoloration, and failure.

• Moisture and Vapor Issues: Sub-surface moisture (hydrostatic pressure) can cause blisters and delamination of non-breathable coatings.

• Hygiene and Cleanliness: Porous surfaces harbor bacteria and are difficult to sanitize, a critical concern in food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare settings.

• Excessive Downtime: Lengthy installation and cure times for traditional flooring systems disrupt operations for days or weeks.

The TerraFlex™ MB Solution: Engineered for Performance

TerraFlex™ MB directly addresses these pain points with a comprehensive solution. Here’s how its detailed characteristics deliver unparalleled value:

1. Unmatched Durability & Mechanical Performance

• Extreme Wear Resistance: The urethane-enhanced matrix offers superior abrasion resistance, far outperforming standard epoxy or plain concrete. Ideal for high-traffic aisles, industrial warehouses, and loading docks.

• High Impact & Point Load Resistance: The flexible polyurethane component absorbs shock, preventing cracking from dropped tools, pallet racks, and rolling loads.

• Seamless, Monolithic Finish: Creates a joint-free surface that eliminates dirt traps, prevents moisture ingress at seams, and is incredibly easy to clean.

2. Superior Chemical & Environmental Resilience

• Broad Chemical Resistance: Resists a wide array of chemicals including oils, greases, dilute acids and alkalis, salts, and many solvents commonly found in industrial plants, automotive shops, and food processing facilities.

• Moisture Tolerance: Can be installed in environments with high moisture vapor transmission rates (up to 99% RH), making it suitable for slabs-on-grade without the constant risk of blistering.

• Thermal Stability: Maintains integrity across a wide temperature range, suitable for freezers, coolers, and outdoor patios.

3. Safety, Aesthetics, and Functionality

• Slip-Resistant Surface: The integrated quartz aggregate broadcast provides a textured finish that enhances traction, meeting or exceeding ADA and OSHA guidelines for wet and dry conditions.

• Hygienic & Easy Maintenance: The non-porous, seamless surface prevents bacterial growth and can be steam-cleaned or harshly scrubbed without damage.

• Color & Design Options: Available in a range of standard and custom colors, allowing for aesthetic zoning, safety marking, and brand alignment.

4. Rapid, Efficient Installation

• Fast-Cure Technology: Topcoats can cure in as little as 1 hour, allowing for multiple coats in a single day.

• Reduced Downtime: The complete system can be installed and ready for light foot traffic in as few as 48 hours, getting your business back to full operation faster.

• Professional Application: While a DIY paint job won’t suffice, our network of certified contractors ensures a flawless, warrantied installation.

2. Primer Application: On porous substrates, a primer ensures a solid bond.

3. Base Coat & Broadcast: The cementitious urethane mortar is applied and broadcast with quartz aggregate for reinforcement and texture.

4. Sealer/Topcoat Application: Multiple layers of high-performance, chemical-resistant topcoats are applied to seal the surface and provide the final wear layer.

5. Curing & Protection: Proper cure times are observed before returning to service.

We provide more than just products. Our technical support team assists with site audits, specification writing, and contractor training to ensure your project’s success from start to finish.

Foire aux questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a cementitious urethane and an epoxy flooring system?

While both are durable, cementitious urethane systems like TerraFlex™ MB offer superior flexibility, thermal shock resistance, and moisture tolerance. They are less brittle than epoxy, making them better for environments with active cracks or wide temperature swings. Epoxy can be harder but is more prone to chipping under impact.

How long does it take to install TerraFlex™ MB?

The system is designed for rapid installation. Under ideal conditions, the floor can be installed and ready for light foot traffic in 2 days, with full cure and return to heavy service shortly after, minimizing facility downtime.

Can TerraFlex™ MB be installed over existing concrete?

Yes, it is an excellent solution for concrete renovation. The existing slab must be properly prepared, sound, and pass moisture tests. It can also be installed over properly prepared waterproof membranes.

What maintenance is required?

Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with a neutral pH cleaner are typically sufficient. The seamless surface eliminates grout lines and pits where dirt accumulates.

What is the typical cost of a cementitious urethane flooring system?

The total project cost varies based on slab condition, project size, preparation needed, and geographic location. As a premium, long-life system, it represents a significant value investment over its lifespan compared to frequent repairs or replacement of inferior flooring. Contact us for a site-specific quote.
