PU Flooring in Dubai

Heavy-Duty Polyurethane (PU) Screeds for Food & Chemical Plants

In commercial kitchens, bakeries, dairies, cold storage facilities, and chemical manufacturing plants, flooring must withstand conditions that destroy standard epoxy coatings within months. Thermal shock from live boiling water washdowns, direct grease and citric acid spills, and freezing sub-zero temperatures demand specialized polyurethane cement technology.

IZOMATE installs heavy-duty polyurethane hybrid screeds (4mm to 6mm thickness) designed to provide permanent seamless protection under the most extreme industrial conditions across the UAE.

Polyurethane Hybrid Cement Chemistry for Extreme Thermal Shock

Standard epoxy coatings suffer from a high coefficient of thermal expansion that differs significantly from concrete. When exposed to sudden temperature spikes—such as boiling water washdowns (90°C to 100°C) in commercial kitchens, bakeries, and dairies—the epoxy expands much faster than the underlying concrete slab, producing severe shear stress at the bond line that leads to delamination, curling, and debonding.

Heavy-duty Polyurethane (PU) hybrid cement screeds (such as 3-component water-dispersed polyurethane resin, hardener, and hydraulic cementitious aggregates) feature a coefficient of thermal expansion virtually identical to structural concrete. This allows the screed to absorb sudden thermal shocks from -40°C in blast freezers up to +120°C during live steam cleaning without blistering, cracking, or losing bond strength.

Slip Resistance & Seamless Hygienic Coving

Commercial kitchens, beverage bottling plants, and meat processing facilities are classified as high slip-risk environments. IZOMATE tailors slip resistance profiles from R10 up to R13 according to DIN 51130 by broadcasting graded aluminum oxide or calcined bauxite aggregates into the wet screed body. To satisfy Dubai Municipality food control inspections, integrated 100mm seamless radius wall coves are troweled along all perimeter walls, eliminating 90° dirt-trapping angles and ensuring effortless drainage washdown.

Bacterial Resistance & Antimicrobial Flooring Technology

In food processing facilities, commercial bakeries, dairies, poultry processing plants, and commercial kitchens across the UAE, hygiene is rigorously inspected by Dubai Municipality Food Safety Department. Standard tiled floors harbor millions of bacteria and mold spores within porous grout lines, while generic coatings can crack and delaminate under thermal stress, creating hidden moisture pockets where bacterial colonies flourish.

Heavy-duty Polyurethane (PU) hybrid cement screeds provide a monolithic, non-porous floor plane with zero joints or grout lines. Formulated with integrated silver-ion antimicrobial additives, the screed actively inhibits the growth of bacteria (including Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella) and fungi on the floor surface by up to 99.9% throughout the lifetime of the floor. Combined with seamless 100mm wall coving and stainless steel floor drains, facilities maintain immaculate sanitary standards with simple daily hot water washdowns.

Impact Tolerance Against Heavy Utensils & Steel Trolleys

Commercial kitchens and food factories endure heavy mechanical impact: dropped stainless steel pots, heavy chopping knives, and hard-wheeled service trolleys. While brittle coatings can chip and shatter upon impact, the polyurethane resin matrix possesses elastomeric tensile toughness that absorbs dynamic kinetic energy, preventing edge spalling and maintaining floor integrity under severe abuse.

Compliance with International ASTM & BS Test Methods

IZOMATE polyurethane resin flooring installations are subjected to rigorous third-party quality testing to verify performance before handover. Compressive strength is verified per BS 6319-2 (achieving >55 N/mm²), tensile adhesion to the concrete substrate is verified via automated Elcometer pull-off testers per EN 1542 (exceeding 2.0 N/mm² with concrete tensile failure), and liquid water absorption is certified nil under continuous immersion per ASTM C413. Our clients receive a comprehensive testing docket alongside their 12 to 17-year warranty certificate.
