What Makes Ucrete IF a Unique Solution for Performance Flooring?

If you manage a waste transfer station, battery recycling or another type of industrial chemical manufacturing facility, keeping your floors in top shape is a top priority.

Years of exposure to acids and chemical attacks on the surface of your floor is likely to create a hazardous work environment, disrupting production or causing shutdowns.

Ucrete IF (Iron-Filled), an iron aggregate, heavy-duty, polyurethane hybrid flooring system, has a proven track record for providing long-lasting durable floors, especially in the harshest workspaces of heavy engineering workshops and processing areas, under mixing heads, in storage bunkers and loading docks and heavy equipment maintenance facilities. It is ideal for industrial environments, providing a high level of impact tolerance and abrasion resistance; in fact, a Ucrete IF floor can actually increase impact and abrasion resistance because it is formulated to withstand wider temperature fluctuations and tolerate both organic and inorganic acids, alkalis and salts.

Unique Features of Ucrete IF Systems

Ucrete IF is a four-component system installed from a ¼-inch to 1-inch thickness, creating a smooth, matte surface. The thickness is determined by the service and cleaning temperatures and the severity of traffic expected:

Uniquely processed metal aggregate
No priming or sealing of substrate
Solvent-free
40+ years of project references
Wide temperature service range from 5°- 158°F (-15°-70°C)
Aggregate filled, trowel-applied
Resistant to a wide range of chemicals
Unaffected by freeze/thaw cycles
Coefficient of thermal expansion similar to concrete
Slip resistant
Measurably tougher than concrete and epoxy

Benefits of Ucrete IF Performance Flooring
