This Chart clearly exhibits that the coefficient of thermal expansion of Ucrete is very close to concrete in comparison to another commonly used flooring material. Under thermal cycling conditions, Ucrete expands and contracts very similar to concrete which virtually eliminates differential flexing that occurs with other materials and allow Ucrete to maintain unmatched tenacious adhesion to concrete.
The chart demonstrates the Tg phase for the same materials. Some materials will undergo physical change when exposed to thermal cycling conditions and this repetitive change weakens adhesion at the bond line increasing the likelihood of delamination. Materials that change in modulus during thermal cycling – create a stress that repetitively works against the adhesive bond to concrete. Ucrete remains solid-like and consistent throughout thermal cycling and, as a result, is not subject to these related physical stresses that frequently lead to delamination and adhesive failure of a flooring system.
A network of trained and approved contractors experienced in the installation of Ucrete Systems are on your side, committed to quality and owner satisfaction. This international group of contractors, in conjunction with professional architects and engineers, ensure that Ucrete Systems are installed right the first time.
