UCRETE® Flooring Solutions for the Food & Beverage Industry

Fast repair and resurfacing solutions with minimal cost and downtime

Plant managers today face a variety of demanding requirements when it comes to upgrading and repairing floors, especially those managing food and beverage processing facilities. Most companies require resistance to 1) corrosive substances; 2) harsh cleaning regimes; 3) high levels of moisture and 4) general wear and tear from machinery and traffic in addition to the need for a rapid return to service after the floor project is complete.

Specialists in high-performance flooring the food and beverage industry are likely to recommend 1) fast-curing repair mortars, ideal for upgrading deteriorated, delaminating floors in preparation for flooring surfaces; 2) cementitious and polymer-based precision grouting materials for the stabilization and anchoring of machinery, transportation equipment and foot traffic; and 3) an exceptional alternative to acid brick, quarry tile and coatings that outperforms traditional epoxy flooring surfaces in both impact resistance from heavy traffic and ability to withstand thermal shock.
