Polyurethane resin Flooring

Polyurethane resin is one of the most used types of resin floor system along with epoxy resin. The main difference between epoxy and polyurethane all depend on what product is being used. But generally speaking, a polyurethane resin has a better range of resistance to chemicals than epoxy. This can be the chemicals found within the brewing processes or in dairy manufacturing (lactic acid). Polyurethane can also be a more flexible resin as a floor surface.

As a flooring material, a polyurethane coating is a tough floor solution that is used a lot in both the commercial and industrial sectors. As well as this, polyurethane can also be a food-grade or ‘food safe’ product which means it has unique applications in the food and drink sector. This may be as a manufacturing floor covering or as a commercial kitchen floor topping.

As well as this, polyurethane can also be used as a hygienic floor coating that is easy to clean and sanitise. There are many ways in which this floor topping can be the best fit for your next flooring project. Floors installed with polyurethane systems are seamless and leave a smooth high-quality appearance in a range of colour options. With no seams, these floors trap no dirt, oils or bacteria.

Polyurethane Flooring products

Monarch are polyurethane resin flooring contractors who work through out the UK, including Manchester, Bradford and Rotherham. Polyurethane, in particular, is a strong floor covering which is ideal for the industrial sector.

For example, Monarflow PU is a self levelling resin flooring product which we install widely in factories. This product is a self-smoothing resin which is used in busy areas which have become uneven due to many years of constant use. This is a problem which occurs a lot in factories. As well as this the product has excellent resistance to thermal shock, abrasion and chemical attack in aggressive industrial environments.

An anti-static resin may be needed if you work with small electrical components, our Monarflow PU AS can provide a conductive floor to deal with the excess static charge safely.

Another factor is that the floor coating products can be fast-curing such as Monarcoat Rapid/Rapid Ultra. Generally speaking, these products are designed to cure a lot faster than other resin products shortening the downtime for busy settings. For example, a factory where production is constant or in areas such as fire exits and staircases that need to be accessed 24/7.

As polyurethane resin flooring contractors, we install specialist resin systems through out the UK. There are many applications for PU flooring and when looking into the different properties it is clear that there are many benefits to consider.
