Urethane cement offers an advantage in specific settings. A lot of settings that have reaped the benefits are food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
What is Urethane Cement
Urethane cement sometimes referred to as urethane concrete, cementitious urethane or polymer concrete, is a type of industrial floor coating made by combining urethane (polymer binder), common cement (known as Portland cement), aggregate powders, water, and other fine materials. With the help of urethane resin technology, a solid, high-performance floor surface is produced as a result.
Advantages of Urethane Cement
- Chemical and stain resistance
- Thermo shock resistance
- Slip resistance
- Eligible for LEED credits
Best Environments for Urethane Cement Flooring
- Heavy-Duty Manufacturing
- Hospitals
How is urethane cement applied?
Urethane cement can be applied in three ways: self-leveling, roller-applied or trowel-applied. The thickness of application varies and is mostly based on the demand of the environment in which it will be used. This can be anywhere between ¼ inch to ½ inch. Utilized on its own, urethane cement can be directly applied to concrete. While it’s usually available in a single, solid color, demands for a decorative surface which combines beauty and durability can also be catered to using various textures and patterns (quartz, flakes, sparkles, etc.) applied on top of the urethane cement.
Advantages of Using Urethane Cement
Urethane cement is regarded as one of the toughest industrial floor coating mediums available in the market. The strength and durability of this type of floor coating are twice as much as that of concrete, making it an indispensable element in flooring systems. Some of the benefits of applying urethane cement to floor surfaces include:
- Ability to withstand thermal shock and thermal cycling, especially in facilities where there are regular or sudden fluctuations in temperature. Urethane types of cement can tolerate temperatures ranging from -329.8°to 240° Fahrenheit.
- Protection against chemical and acid attacks
- Resistance to elements such as grease and alkalis
- Inexpensive and minimal amount of maintenance
- Seamless installation and finish, which is essential for ease of cleaning and helps avoid chemicals seeping into floor cracks or seams.
- Highly resistant to abrasions and impacts
- Ability to be cleaned using steam
- High tolerance to moisture
- Ability to expand or contract at the same rate as concrete
- Special ingredients which help ward off the growth of microbes, bacteria or fungus on the floor surface (especially useful for food and beverage processing facilities)
- Skid resistance
- Quick installation
- Impenetrability
- Produces a low amount of odor, therefore making it an excellent floor coating option for areas with high density of people
- Compliant to USDA and FDA regulations
When used together with decorative coatings and other types of floor coatings, urethane cement can provide an unbeatable surface for every type of flooring challenge.
Which type of setting is urethane cement used?
Urethane cement was originally tailored for use on the flooring of food 
and beverage processing facilities because of its superior ability to withstand frequent hot and cold wash downs or thermal cycling, in addition to other demanding service conditions such as chemical resistance. Nowadays, urethane cement is also utilized in commercial kitchens, restaurant bar areas, institutional floorings, pharmaceutical facilities, healthcare environments, breweries, warehouses, laboratories, chemical industries, heavy-duty manufacturing, and most other industrial settings that use extremely harsh chemicals during the production process.
