PUSMHF – Heavy-Duty Polyurethane Screed (Trowel-Applied)
The PUSMHF system from UK Resin Floors consists of a trowel-applied polyurethane cement screed made for heavy-duty industrial applications. The 8–12 mm thick installation of this system unites cement strength with polyurethane flexibility to produce a durable seamless floor that meets hygiene standards.
Key Features
The system provides heavy-duty wear resistance which enables it to handle ongoing traffic and mechanical impacts and continuous mechanical stress.
The built-in infill system creates an anti-slip surface which maintains reliable traction on wet floors.
The system provides complete liquid-tightness and chemical resistance against oils and solvents as well as acids and alkalis.
The floor surface provides seamless hygiene benefits through its non-porous structure that meets food and pharmaceutical standards for cleaning.
The system demonstrates thermal-shock resistance because it maintains performance when exposed to hot water and steam cleaning and sudden temperature fluctuations.
The system allows installation with drainage slopes which creates hygienic wash-down areas.
The system requires no primer for installation because it bonds directly to the substrate during a single operation which shortens project duration.
Technical Details
The system comes in three different thickness options which include 8 mm and 10 mm and 12 mm.
The surface becomes ready for foot traffic after a curing period of about 10 hours.
The installation process requires a single layer application through trowel application.
The finished surface presents a smooth seamless design with slip resistance and liquid-tight properties and meets all hygiene requirements.
Application Process (Summary)
The application process starts with floor temperature maintenance at 15 °C while the substrate undergoes cleaning and degreasing and preparation steps.
The removal of cement laitance requires either sanding or blasting techniques.
The A-component receives pigment addition followed by B-component and filler incorporation.
The mixture needs to become smooth and free of lumps before applying it with a trowel for an even spread.
The application of a nylon-fleece roller follows trowel mark removal to create a smooth surface.
The surface becomes ready for use after a short period of 10 hours after the application process.
Ideal Environments
The chemical industry benefits from this product because it withstands strong solvents and severe environmental conditions.
The system meets HACCP requirements while providing a seamless surface that facilitates easy cleaning in food and beverage manufacturing facilities.
The system operates in industrial production zones and logistics facilities because it supports forklifts and pallet trucks and withstands continuous mechanical equipment operation.
