The importance of liquid-tight floors

What is a liquid-tight floor?

A liquid-proof floor is not just a seamless floor. Liquid-tight means that the floor does not absorb liquids. The substrate remains dry, so moisture cannot cause the flooring system to detach from the substrate, and spills can be easily mopped up.

With flow-resistant floors, impurities and contaminations remain on the floor and do not penetrate the floor or joints and can be easily removed if properly cleaned. This avoids bacterial growth. This is why liquid-tight floors are also hygienic floors.

Which is the right liquid-proof floor for the food industry ?

There are different types of liquid-proof floors, for example, polyurethane floors or epoxy floors. Floors in the food industry are subject to different loads, such as high temperatures, heavy impact, chemicals,... Not every liquid-proof floor can withstand this.

Ucrete industrial floors from Master Builders Solutions are the best long-term choice to ensure proper hygiene in food processing areas.

Ucrete floors have a very closed structure and are impermeable over their entire thickness. Ucrete is essentially inert, biodegradable and does not encourage bacterial growth or mold. These properties ensure purity comparable to the standard used for stainless steel, even on highly structured slip-resistant Ucrete floors. Thanks to its high chemical and thermal resistance, Ucrete is resistant to cleaning products and steam cleaning.

Ucrete industrial floors, the basis for a germ-free production environment

An independent engineering firm examined water drainage, drying behavior and water absorption at Ucrete. The test results showed that no water absorption was detected and the floors were dry again after three hours. The liquid-proof Ucrete floors clearly provide an excellent basis for a germ-free and safe working environment and have therefore for decades been the hygienic floor of choice for both the food and pharmaceutical industries where the highest hygiene standards apply.
