Ucrete® HP/Q

Ucrete® HP and HP/Q are three-component, polyurethane-cementitious, floor systems designed for application to concrete and various other substrates to protect them against chemicals, abrasion, impact and thermal shock. Ucrete® HP and HP/Q are non-slip, industrial floor systems incorporating an integral broadcast application. Ucrete® HP/Q uses a colored quartz aggregate to yield a textured surface that presents a very attractive finish, while Ucrete® HP relies on a natural colored aggregate. These monolithic, troweled, flooring systems will tolerate a wide range of organic and inorganic acids, alkalis and salts. Ucrete® HP and HP/Q can be used on new concrete substrates or badly damaged floor surfaces that have been exposed to contamination for many years. Ucrete® floors are extremely strong and in most cases, have physical properties which are approximately double that of concrete. Ucrete® HP and HP/Q will yield excellent results when installed from 1/4th (6mm) to 3/8th (9 mm) of an inch or greater.

Advantages

Excellent impact and abrasion resistance

Slip-resistant finish

Extremely high bond strength

Wide temperature service range from -50°F to 210°F (-45°C to 100°C)

Coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of concrete

Can be laid on 7 to 10 day old concrete

Resistant to live steam or continuous hot water cleaning

Fast cure resulting in minimal down time

Solvent free and low odor

Interior or exterior use

No priming or sealing of the substrate is required in most cases

Proven track record - 25 years of project references

Unaffected by freeze/thaw cycles

Application
Ucrete® HP and HP/Q are ideal for applications, interior or exterior, when severe conditions such as high impact pressure, thermal shock and chemical exposure are expected. The thermal stability of Ucrete® HP and HP/Q makes them excellent for use in meat, poultry and dairy plants, bottling facilities, pharmaceutical plants, commercial kitchens and restaurants, freezers and refrigerated storage, particularly where steam or hot water is required for cleaning. The wearing surface, when properly installed, will remain heavily textured and non-slip, under most wet process conditions, throughout the life of the floor.* While the most common substrate is concrete, this flooring system may also be applied over other substrates.

Chemical Resistance

The Ucrete® HF Flooring System will resist spillage of and exposure to for up to seven (7) days at 72°F as per ASTM

D-1308 the following chemicals.

Dilute mineral acids including Hydrochloric(<35%) , Phosphoric(<50%) and Sulphuric(<30%)

Alkalis, including potassium hydroxide to 50% concentration.

Some dilute organic acids such as acetic (30%) formic, citric acid and urine

Fats, oils and sugars

Mineral oils, diesel fuel, kerosene and gasoline

Most Organic solvents, including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and alcohol

Note: Full chemical resistance is achieved after curing for seven (7) days. For chemical resistance to a specific compound consult the Chemical Test Data Sheets specific to this flooring system.

Performance Design
Ucrete® HP and PH/Q are independent systems designed primarily to be a two application step product. Variation in the thickness will affect the thermal and impact resistance of the product. Thickness of 1/4th (6mm) of an inch to 3/8 (12mm) of and inch are recommended, with the thicker system providing the highest level of thermal and impact resistance. Also available is Ucrete® WR designed to aid in building vertical surfaces such as cove bases.
