Sika Ucrete · Polyurethane cement flooring · Saudi Arabia
Ucrete is Sika’s polyurethane cement flooring range for demanding process environments. Selecting a floor starts with the room’s temperature changes, chemicals, traffic and cleaning routine, then the exact grade, thickness and detailing. SolidDrops supports project enquiries across Saudi Arabia.
Send your room schedule, approximate area and operating conditions for a scoped Ucrete enquiry. A freezer entrance, a cooking line and a dry packing hall may need different specifications within the same building.
Current manufacturer documents identify the range as Sika® Ucrete®. Older specifications and packaging may refer to Ucrete under Master Builders Solutions. Use the current Sika product name and the product data sheet applicable to the project; a legacy name alone does not establish that two proposed materials have the same specification.
Ucrete is a resin-and-cement flooring family, rather than a generic name for every polyurethane screed. Sikafloor PurCem, Mapefloor CPU and other polyurethane cement systems must be assessed on their own documentation. Substitution requires a comparison of the complete build-up and the project’s acceptance criteria.
Manufacturer reference: Sika GCC Ucrete range. The Sika regional rebranding notice provides background on the transition.
These are selection starting points. Manufacturer values relate to a named product and test conditions, and do not promise the same result for every floor. Confirm the current local data sheet, system components and proposed application before approval.
On small screens, each table row is shown as a labelled card.
| Grade or component | Selection starting point | Evidence and qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete UD 200 | Selection starting point: Textured heavy-duty screed for wet or dry process areas where traffic and thermal exposure need review | Evidence and qualification: GCC PDS lists 6, 9 and 12 mm options. The temperature limits are thickness-specific; see the table below |
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete MF | Selection starting point: Smooth finish for dry packing, storage, warehouses and appropriate clean-room areas | Evidence and qualification: GCC PDS gives approximately 4–6 mm. Its −15°C to +70°C service range is stated for 6 mm |
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete HF 60 RT | Selection starting point: Flow-applied, lightly textured option for large wet or dry process areas | Evidence and qualification: GCC PDS describes a 6 mm screed and a −25°C to +80°C service range |
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete HF 100 RT | Selection starting point: Flow-applied, lightly textured option where a 9 mm build-up is being considered | Evidence and qualification: Current UK manufacturer information confirms this product. Obtain the applicable Saudi/GCC submittal before specifying local performance or availability |
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete DP10, DP20 and DP30 | Selection starting point: Profiled systems to discuss where contamination, traction and cleanability need balancing | Evidence and qualification: The exact DP designation, thickness and component schedule matter. The UK DP10 4 mm sheet is an example, not approval for every DP system or Saudi project |
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete RG | Selection starting point: Render and coving mortar for compatible upstands, skirting, plinths and drainage details | Evidence and qualification: Confirmed in the current GCC range. Specify the vertical detail separately from the floor wearing layer |
| Grade or component: Sika Ucrete CR 460 | Selection starting point: Joint filler for appropriate resin-floor joints and details around channels or gullies | Evidence and qualification: Use with its specified primer and joint design. It is a complementary joint product, not a floor screed |
| Grade or component: Antistatic grades; TZ, IF and HPQ references | Selection starting point: Specialist or legacy specification enquiries | Evidence and qualification: Send the full designation. MF 40 AS appears in the GCC range; other legacy names need current local confirmation rather than assumed equivalence |
On small screens, each table row is shown as a labelled card.
| Thickness | Minimum | Maximum listed service temperature | Occasional spillage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thickness: 6 mm | Minimum: −25°C | Maximum listed service temperature: +80°C | Occasional spillage: No separate higher value listed |
| Thickness: 9 mm | Minimum: −40°C | Maximum listed service temperature: +120°C | Occasional spillage: No separate higher value listed |
| Thickness: 12 mm | Minimum: −40°C | Maximum listed service temperature: +130°C | Occasional spillage: Up to +150°C |
Do not apply the +150°C occasional-spillage figure to 6 mm or 9 mm installations, or treat it as a universal operating temperature. The frequency, duration and location of discharge also belong in the review.
Check the current manufacturer pages for UD 200, MF, HF 60 RT, RG, HF 100 RT (UK) and DP10 4 mm (UK).
Map cook lines, dishwashing, oil and grease, hot discharge, trolley paths and drain locations. Review a textured grade, cove details and cleaning access together. A surface sample helps the facilities team judge the finish before a large area is committed.
Provide the operating and defrost cycle, adjacent room temperature and threshold detail. Check insulation, slab movement and moisture at transitions. A low-temperature material rating does not by itself resolve a floor’s thermal design.
Identify the actual process and cleaning chemicals, including concentration and temperature. Note repeated spill locations and cleaning-in-place discharge. Request confirmation of chemical compatibility for the selected floor and joint materials.
Discuss wet contamination, wheeled loads, falls, drain covers and the cleaning routine. Separate product-selection requirements from operational hygiene controls and the facility’s own food-safety approval process.
Distinguish dry circulation from washdown, oven-side and mixing areas. A smoother option may be worth assessing where the room remains dry, while adjoining wet areas can call for a different finish.
Provide the room classification, cleaning agents, containment duty and any static-control requirement. A standard resin floor is not automatically an ESD system or a certified clean-room installation.

High service-temperature resistance is different from permission to install into a hot room. Measure the substrate, ambient air and material temperatures separately. Plan protected storage, ventilation, enclosure and a workable installation period against the chosen grade’s current limits.
For example, the reviewed UD 200 GCC PDS lists ambient air at +5°C to +25°C, while the material and substrate minima are +10°C. Those are not one shared +5°C application limit. Other grades have different windows; do not transfer a limit from a UK document or another Ucrete product without confirmation.
A resin wearing surface should not be assumed to replace a separately required waterproofing design. Review the floor-to-wall and drainage build-up as a complete assembly.
Sika’s reviewed GCC documents require application by a trained and licensed Ucrete applicator. Confirm the proposed installation party and include its current credentials in the technical submittal.
An unprepared slab, an assumed tile overlay, the wrong thickness for hot discharge, a feathered termination or premature washdown can undermine a project. Address the cause and the interface detail rather than choosing the product from a single headline strength or temperature figure.
Both choices cover multiple systems. Compare the actual proposed epoxy build-up with the actual Ucrete grade, using chemical exposure, thermal cycling, traffic, texture, downtime and whole-project cost. It is misleading to compare every epoxy floor with one thin coating, or to assume every polyurethane cement grade tolerates steam cleaning.
A dry warehouse, decorative interior and wet cooking area can have different priorities. Start with SolidDrops’ epoxy flooring guidance for general resin-floor enquiries, and use this page for the specific Sika Ucrete decision.
State the room use, substrate acceptance criteria, exact system designation, nominal thickness, slip-test requirement, chemical exposure schedule and thermal duty. Add details for coves, joints, drains and terminations, then identify inspection hold points, a sample area and handover requirements. Request the current local PDS, component SDS, method statement and any relevant test reports as a coordinated submittal.
Agree the detergent, dilution, cleaning temperature, equipment and rinsing procedure with the system supplier and facilities team. Inspect joints, drains and transitions, remove residues promptly and investigate damage before it spreads. Material-level hygiene or emissions documentation does not replace cleaning, safe working practices or the facility’s own approvals.
It is a candidate for demanding food-production environments. Select the exact grade and thickness against hot discharge, chemicals, wet traffic, drainage and cleaning. The room name alone is not enough to approve a system.
Some specified grades and thicknesses cover low-temperature service. Check the exact manufacturer rating alongside the slab, insulation, defrost and threshold design before selecting a floor.
A useful quotation needs the area, grade, thickness, preparation, repairs, cove length, drain and joint details, access and programme. Separate these items in the scope so that quotations cover the same work. Current material price and availability must be confirmed for the enquiry.
Confirm the release plan for the selected grade and actual site conditions. Published cure or traffic times are conditional; cleaning, chemicals and heavy operations may need separate approval. Include preparation and repairs in the shutdown plan.
Do not assume an overlay is acceptable. Assess adhesion, contamination, moisture, levels and the underlying substrate, then obtain an approved preparation and build-up. The survey may identify removal or repair work.
The reviewed Sika GCC pages list specific reports and certificates for named Ucrete materials. Request the relevant current documents and check their scope against the product and intended application. They do not automatically certify SolidDrops, an installer or the whole facility.
Send the full product name and existing technical submittal. Confirm its current Sika designation and regional documentation before proposing a substitution or ordering components.
