Monarthane is a three-part, heavy duty polyurethane resin screed flooring system engineered for tough industrial and commercial environments. Installed at 6–12 mm, it creates a seamless, non-porous surface that withstands heavy traffic, certain chemical exposure, and temperature changes.
Ideal for food and drink processing facilities, breweries, dairies, pharmaceutical plants, and industrial workshops, Monarthane provides a durable, hygienic, and chemical-resistant resin screed that outperforms traditional concrete and epoxy systems.
Monarthane is a polyurethane resin screed designed to protect floors in demanding conditions. Unlike thin resin coatings, it is applied as a screed to build a dense, impact-resistant surface which is long lasting.
It is widely recognised in industries where hygiene, safety, and chemical resistance are essential. From food-grade flooring in production plants to heavy duty industrial screeds in engineering workshops, Monarthane is a trusted system for long-term performance.
Polyurethane vs Epoxy – Polyurethane screeds like Monarthane offer a higher level of chemical and thermal resistance than some epoxy products. Due to this, they are often used in areas within the food and drink industries. The thermal resistance aids in sanitising / cleaning areas of food and drink production as well as the resistance to any chemicals which could be used within the process.
Screeds vs Coatings – As a screed, Monarthane is thicker and more durable than some resin coatings such as Monarcoat 500, making it better for extreme duty environments. This is in areas where there may be heavier machinery, or different levels of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian.
PU Screed vs Polyaspartic – Polyaspartic systems cure quickly but do not provide the same long-term durability and thermal performance as Monarthane.
Monarthane can be installed alongside Monarcove resin system to create a fully hygienic wall-to-floor junction.”
What is Monarthane?
Monarthane is a heavy-duty polyurethane resin screed designed for industrial flooring. It provides a slip-resistant, hygienic, and highly durable surface for demanding environments such as food production, manufacturing, and heavy industry.
How thick is Monarthane applied?
It is normally installed at a thickness of 6–9 mm, depending on the environment and level of traffic expected.
How long does Monarthane take to cure?
At 20 °C, Monarthane is suitable for light pedestrian use after 48 hours, light wheeled traffic after 4 days, and heavy-duty traffic after 5 days. Full chemical resistance is achieved after 7 days.
What environments is Monarthane suitable for?
It is ideal for industrial and commercial environments where hygiene, chemical resistance, and durability are critical — including food factories, warehouses, and engineering facilities.
Is Monarthane resistant to temperature changes?
Yes. Monarthane withstands extreme conditions, from -25 °C up to +120 °C at 9 mm thickness, making it suitable for areas exposed to freezing, ovens, or steam cleaning.
For lighter duty polyurethane coatings, see our Monarcoat 500 systems page.
