50th Anniversary of Ucrete: The World’s Toughest Floor since 1969 The world’s most resilient flooring from the Master Builders Solutions range is celebrating a major anniversary in 2019: 50 years ago, the Ucrete flooring solution was patented. Ucrete is based on a unique resin technology that provides these floors with exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, extreme mechanical impact, and thermal shock. Ucrete floors are particularly suitable for use in aggressive process areas as encountered in the food-and-beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, for example. They form homogenous surfaces with a minimum of joints and, where required, slip-resistance properties for safe and hygienic work environments.

MasterProtect 8500 CI – Extend the service life of your concrete structure!

A sustainable water cycle requires waterproofing for dams, reservoirs, clean water and waste water treatment plants, industrial waterproofing from roof to foundations including process water basins and storage tanks, secondary containment in- and outdoors, storm water reservoirs, irrigation channels, bio-digestors as well as food and beverage tanks.

The application by hand of MasterSeal 7000 CR, a waterproofing and concrete protection system for the waste water treatment industry.

Generating approximately 30% of Victoria’s power requirements every year, the Loy Yang Power Station is an integral part of Australia's national electricity network. As Loy Yang has been operating 24 hours a day since the 1980s, areas of the cooling towers required remediation to ensure the structures long term durability and ongoing safe operation. Using products from the MasterBrace, MasterEmaco and MasterTop range, the Master Builders Solutions team worked with specialist contractors to ensure the works were completed to the highest standard.

MasterFlow 648 ensures correct alignment and transfer of static and dynamic loads, vibration and rotational torque, protects critical equipment and improves machine reliability, operating efficiency and life.

Wind turbines are special, their safe and durable installation largely depends on the correct design and interaction of all components starting from the foundations.
MasterFlow 9500 is an ultra-high strength, high modulus, fatigue resistant grout for grouted connections used in offshore installations e.g. monopile, transition piece foundations, jackets or gravity based concrete foundations. MasterFlow 9500 contributes to the long term and maintenance free operation of the wind farm. 

MasterFlow 9600 is a bulk supplied, offshore grout for grouting foundations of wind turbine installations, which has been specially developed for use as volume stable skirt backfill for monopile foundations with bolted connections.

MasterFlow 9800 is a bulk supplied, high strength and fatigue resistant cement based grout for offshore wind turbine installations, which allows grouting in the shortest weather window. MasterFlow 9800 has been especially formulated for large scale, pump applications, e.g. grouted connections in typical jacket foundations, installed using the pre- or post-pilling techniques.

MasterFlow 9800 is a bulk supplied, high strength cement based grout for offshore wind turbine installations and oil & gas structures, which allows grouting in the shortest weather window. Especially formulated for large scale, pump application and shipped in silos MasterFlow 9800 enables easier and safer operations and reduces complexity of logistics and material handling. The material can be installed with a continuous mixing and pumping process to speed up the offshore grouting works.

Wind is an important source for renewable energy. Offshore wind turbine installations are extremely large, heavy and slender structures. They require large-scale underwater grouting to form robust, structural connections between the foundations and the wind turbines. MasterFlow Wind Turbine Grouts anchor wind turbine foundations safely and durably - a crucial point in the whole installation. Master Builders Solutions has pioneered bulk supplied solutions which dramatically reduce the number of required crane movements and increase the worksite safety condition.

MasterSeal 7000 CR is the waterproofing and concrete protection system with a unique combination of application and performance properties that meet the challenges of aggressive wastewater environments.  The performance-proven MasterSeal 7000 CR system significantly extends the life cycle of concrete structures.

Returned fresh concrete as a waste material is an operational, financial and environmental challenge. MasterSuna RCT 323 admixture for returned concrete treatment provides a sustainable solution to convert concrete waste to backfill.

Returned concrete has always represented a significant challenge for ready-mixed concrete suppliers, logistically, financially and environmentally. Regardless of whether it’s processed through a mechanical recycling system, used for blocks, stockpiled for crushing, or simply disposed of at landfill - dealing with returned fresh concrete is both time-consuming & expensive. MasterSuna RCT 323 admixture allows ready-mixed concrete producers to convert returned fresh concrete into a material that’s suitable for use in road base and construction backfill – quickly, efficiently, and without the need for any additional specialist equipment.

Ras Ghareb Onshore Wind Farm is the first project of its kind and size to produce electricity from wind energy in Egypt. Experts collaborated to implement this national project despite the many challenges.

Master Builders Solutions: The application by spraying of MasterSeal 7000 CR, a waterproofing and concrete protection system for the waste water treatment industry. MasterSeal 7000 CR consists of a two part primer MasterSeal P 770 and a two part membrane MasterSeal M 790 both designed for application by hand or by spraying.

​Floors in food and pharmaceutical industries must withstand harshest conditions and need to meet highest hygienic requirements at the same time. Our dense and impervious Ucrete flooring systems not only fulfil highest hygienic standards they are designed for the toughest industrial environments, withstanding heavy impact, high and low temperature spillage as well as chemical attack. We challenged Ucrete flooring in the most brutal fashion when bashing, boiling, pickling and freezing it – just to show you how tough Ucrete is. No special effects, no tricks, just brute force.

The Ucrete Fast Refurbishment Video demonstrates how fast Ucrete can be installed to guarantee less production downtime in production facilities. After only 72 hours our applicators were able to finish an 800m2 Ucrete floor at a production site in the Netherlands, ready for traffic and fit for more than 30 years service life. The refurbishment covered many different steps like the removal of existing tiles and screed, the adjustment of levels using our advanced concrete hardening accelerator Master X-Seed and finally the application of heavy-duty hygienic Ucrete UD200. This case story is just one example of many Ucrete fast refurbishment projects around the world, helping to minimize production downtime for our customers in various industry sectors.

Not every location needs the same degree of slip resistance. In wet process areas, floors are often laid to falls to allow water and liquid spillages to flow to drain. Free draining floors often necessitate the need for steep falls which require a good profile to be safe, while in general flatter floors are safer. You need a holistic approach to minimize slips, trips and falls. Enginneering solutions or a change of working practices and procedures might be required as well as looking at the effect of cleaning and footwear. The choice of smooth or textured floors in process areas is not always a clear-cut, that's why we offer Ucrete in a range of surface profiles to enable the floor to be tailored to meet your needs.

Floors in food industries must withstand the harshest conditions and need to meet the highest hygienic requirements at the same time. Ucrete industrial flooring is cost effective because it is long lasting, quick and practical to install, meeting all the needs of modern processing industry.
