PU CONCRETE FLOORING
The floor covering, also known as polyurethane concrete, PU Concrete or polyurethane eton, is not only particularly resistant to physical and mechanical influences and abrasion, but also to chemicals and high temperature fluctuations.
The special hardness and resistance to shocks, friction, dirt, chemicals and temperature fluctuations results from the combination of mineral components (concrete) and synthetic elements (polyurethane) making it ideal for use in manufacturing, food and pharmaceutical industries.
Polyurethane concrete is so hard and resistant because the properties of the plastic or synthetic resin occur in conjunction with those of the concrete.
Concrete draws its strength and resistance (especially in the treated, smoothed and sealed state) from the mineral structure resulting from the hardening of the chemical compounds of cement, stone (sand or gravel) and water.
Pressure, fluctuating temperatures, impacts, liquids and dirt hardly matter to the building material. Treated accordingly, it is easy to clean.
Advantages of PU Concrete
- The short curing time makes it ideal for quick conversions and extensions.
- Chemical-resistant makes it suitable for use in laboratories, practices and workshops.
- PU Concrete is impact-resistant, shockproof and resistant to scratches, abrasion and holes.
- Can be used in many facilities due to temperature resistance from -40°C to 130°C.
- Easy to clean and disinfect
- Non-slip and can be used according to standards such as DIN 51130 or BGR 181.
Economic Importance
The positive characteristics, the easy cleaning with achievement of important standards and the longevity are important factors. Here are some examples of the use of PU concrete:
- Chemical industrial equipment
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Research, practices and laboratories
- Food industry
- Wine press and Brewery
