What is Polyurethane Cement?
Polyurethane cement (also known as urethane cement) is a hybrid flooring system combining polyurethane resin with cement and other aggregates to produce a durable, highly chemical- and heat-resistant floor finish. It’s formulated to bond seamlessly with concrete substrates, delivering a robust surface that tolerates aggressive cleaning procedures, including steam and hot water washdowns.
This system is commonly finished with a polyurethane cement sealer to enhance its protective properties and ensure long-term performance in harsh operating environments.
When applied professionally, polyurethane for cement floors provides exceptional slip resistance, hygiene, and impact resilience, making it a top choice for operational safety and compliance.

When installed correctly, a polyurethane cement floor can last between 10 and 20 years, depending on the traffic load and maintenance practices.
Polyurethane for cement floors offers excellent durability, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, making it far superior to standard floor coatings in industrial settings.
Yes, once fully cured and sealed, a polyurethane cement floor is waterproof and resistant to water, chemicals, and other liquids. This makes it ideal for environments with frequent washdowns or exposure to moisture.
