Ucrete - Best industrial flooring solution in Nigeria

While most resin flooring systems soften at temperatures of 60 °C or less,  the unique Ucrete resin systems are unaffected until temperatures of 130 °C are exceeded.  

This high temperature resistance, coupled with resilience, enables Ucrete floors to withstand high-temperature spillages and extreme thermal-shock conditions.

Ucrete floors are available in four separate thickness specifications, ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm, suitable for the most extreme environments with occasional spillages of up to 150 °C (see panel below).  

The increasing thickness protects the bond line with the substrate from the enormous stresses of an extreme thermal shock event.

When the volume of liquid spilled is small, however, no damage is likely. So, for example, a spilt cup of coffee at 90°C will not damage a 4 mm floor, but a 1000-liter discharge at 90°C probably would.

A 9 mm thick Ucrete floor is able to withstand routine and regular discharge of boiling water. In extreme thermal shock environments, a good quality, well-designed substrate is required with allowance for the large thermal movements of the substrate that are expected.

 

​Cryogenic spillages present a particularly severe challenge to floors. The 9 mm Ucrete specifications will withstand occasional cryogenic spillages, for example up to 5 liters of liquid nitrogen, without damage.

​​

There is no simple test to prove that a flooring system will withstand repeated thermal shock over many years in a factory environment. The performance we quote is based upon our experience with Ucrete flooring in aggressive process environments throughout the world for more than 50 years.
