PlexiCrete – School Kitchen

Tough conditions call for tough flooring systems, materials that can stand up to harsh chemicals, thermal shock and concrete expansion. Plexi-Chemie’s PlexiCrete urethane mortar flooring system meets the needs of many industries that require high performance floors. PlexiCrete is versatile as well, giving contractors the ability to choose just the right urethane mortar flooring system for each individual job.

The Many Advantages of Urethane Mortar Systems

PlexiCrete – Food Manufacturing Facility

When it comes to harsh environments, urethane mortar systems are an excellent choice. These materials have the same coefficient of expansion as concrete and are extremely resistant to thermal shock. In other words, the coating system is unaffected by hot water wash downs. (The same cannot be said of epoxy coating systems. A 1/8-inch epoxy floor that is constantly washed down with hot water has a much higher chance of failing due to expansion rates). In addition, urethane mortar systems are resistant to a wide range of caustic and acidic chemicals and have excellent impact resistance.

Why Choose Urethane Mortar Systems for the Harshest of Environments

Urethane mortar systems are most often applied in industrial environments that are exposed to harsh chemicals and thermal shock on a daily basis. Wastewater treatment plants, chicken plants, meat plants, industrial and commercial kitchens, correctional facilities, pulp and paper manufacturing plants and petro-chemical facilities are some examples of areas that benefit from the application of urethane mortar systems. It’s not hard to see why the high performance and durable properties of urethane mortar systems are needed in these extremely severe conditions.
