Why choose resin flooring?
Specifying the correct floor is a complex decision, balancing current and
future performance criteria against cost and time constraints of installation.
A well-specified floor will help to create a brighter, cleaner, safer, more
attractive and efficient working environment. Choosing the wrong floor can
lead to personal injuries, lost production and premature failure, resulting in
frequent maintenance or early replacement.
Our ongoing research into the development of new
products and the improvement and optimisation
of existing flooring systems is underpinned by the
use of renewable resources to meet environmental
compatibility, quality and performance criteria.
Almost all our products are solvent free, making
them safe to apply.
We are certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2000
and ISO 14001:1996.
The numerous advantages of resin flooring
systems from BASF Construction Chemicals
include:
• Appearance
• Sustainability
• Fast-track installation
• Seamless and joint free

As a result, BASF’s resin flooring systems are
subject to testing and analysis by independent
third-party experts. These tests provide the basis
for further research and development work to
improve on our already impressive results. All our
systems meet high safety standards and stringent
requirements for environmental compatibility and
physiological acceptability, verified by external
inspection.

Food & Beverage
Flooring for food and beverage processing facilities has to meet numerous
practical demands from the start. Speed of application can be a key factor in
allowing fast-track construction and refurbishment.
Initial outlay has to be balanced against
performance and whole-life costs. Once in situ,
flooring must withstand corrosive substances,
harsh cleaning regimes, wet processes, wide
variations in temperature and wear and tear from
wheeled trolleys, racks and bins. Added to this is
the need for optimal safety to prevent slips and
trips.

Slip Resistance
UCRETE® is used in a wide range of wet process
environments where good slip-resistance is
required. The UCRETE® range provides a variety
of surface profiles to suit individual requirements
for the best compromise between slip-resistance
and ease of cleaning.
Temperature Resistance
The unique UCRETE® heavy-duty polyurethane
resin systems do not start to soften until
temperatures of 130°C are exceeded. Most other
resin flooring materials soften at temperatures
in the region of 50-60°C. Together with the high
resilience of UCRETE® floors, this enables them to
withstand high temperature and extreme thermal
shock conditions. UCRETE® industrial flooring is
able to withstand routine and regular discharges
of boiling water.

Ltd, it was found that UCRETE® flooring achieved
the same levels of cleanliness as stainless steel,
with more than 99.9% of bacteria being killed. As
it is seamless and jointless, UCRETE® reduces the
potential for dangerous dirt build up and meets all
EU and US directives in force for Food Industry
environments. Systems greater than 6mm in
thickness are fully steam cleanable.

From 2003–2009 40,000 m2 of UCRETE® has been installed on
Arla sites in the UK – in addition to the three major projects at
Leeds this included a number of smaller projects on other sites.
To date in excess of 100,000 m2 various grades of UCRETE® has
been installed in all of Arla facilities throughout Europe. At around
half the cost of a hexagonal-tiled flooring finish, UCRETE® has
proved to be a durable and cost-effective solution.

Pharmaceutical/Electronics
The demands on flooring within the pharmaceutical and electronics sectors
are wide. Facilities cover everything from clean rooms and processing to
heavy-wear corridors, plant rooms and high-density packing.
Machines
BASF flooring systems can successfully reduce
the potential of generating static charges – a
comprehensive test with conductive footwear
under precise humidity and temperature
conditions will allow the optimum combination of
floor and footwear. The ultimate goal has to be to
avoid the generation of static charge in the first
place, and we will work with you to asses the best
preventative measure for maximum safety.

On top of the requirement for longevity and ease
of cleaning, a crucial aspect of these special
work environments is the provision of engineered
floor systems with the ability to safely dissipate
unwanted static electricity.

UCRETE® TZ and TZ Antistatic provide an
attractive, heavy duty polyurethane terrazzo
floor finish, using unique resin technology with
exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals
and thermal shock. Dense and impervious
to facilitate cleaninng and maintenance of
hygiene standards, UCRETE® TZ’s rapid curing
and substrate moisture tolerance allows
installation and maintenance within tight
construction schedules.
In simple terms, the specified requirements for
conductive floor coatings are usually Rg<106 Ω
or Rg<109 Ω in accordance with EN 1081 or CEI/
ASTM standards. BASF’s range of conductive/
dissipative flooring systems which meet
these standards include: MASTERTOP® 1200,
MASTERTOP® 1300 and UCRETE®.
The extent to which a floor coating contributes
to the accumulation of electrostatic discharge
depends on the type of traffic to which the floor
is exposed, whether pedestrian or wheeled.
With wheeled traffic, the accumulation of charge
on the vehicles is avoided by using conductive
floors. Where static charge collects on personnel,
additional factors such as footwear, clothing and
seating all need to be taken into consideration
alongside the flooring.
EN 1081
Rg <10 6 Ω
Chemical and wear resistance are important
requirements which have to be combined with
cleanability, particularly in zones and technical
areas that need to be dust and dirt free.

Low maintenance
Being a liquid application, the resin-based flooring gave a very
even, level, and smooth finished surface. Installation of the
flooring gave maximum flexibility to allow the main contractor
to continue with the facility’s fit out. Installation carried out
progressively in strips 60m long by 7.5m wide to complete
3600m² of manufacturing floor to allow other trades access.
Uniformity of finish was maintained throughout. Z-Lift access
platforms and 5-tonne fork lift trucks were run over the new
flooring within two days of it being laid, without any damage.
A very successful installation, giving a smart, bright and very
durable finished product. The client reported that the UCRETE®
flooring is easier to clean and more durable and wear resistant
than the vinyl flooring installed at its previous premises.

Colour Key:
In the chemical processing industry floors are repeatedly exposed to contact
with a broad range of corrosive chemicals.
BASF Construction Chemicals specifically tests
its products to ensure that they provide “long
term durability” – demonstrating that the product
will withstand attack from chemicals, even under
permanent load in secondary containment bunds,
drains and sumps as well as floors.

Slip Resistance
UCRETE® is used in a wide range of wet process
environments where good slip-resistance is
required. The UCRETE® range provides a variety
of surface profiles to suit individual requirements
for the best compromise between slip-resistance
and ease of cleaning.
Temperature Resistance
The unique UCRETE® heavy duty polyurethane
resin systems do not start to soften until
temperatures of 130°C are exceeded. Most other
resin flooring materials soften at temperatures
in the region of 50-60°C. Together with the high
resilience of UCRETE® floors, this enables them to
withstand high temperature and extreme thermal
shock conditions. UCRETE® industrial flooring is
able to withstand routine and regular discharges
of boiling water.
The high chemical resistance of our UCRETE®
heavy-duty polyurethane flooring systems combined with a high temperature and mechanical
resistance make these products extremely
durable. Easy cleaning, even where requirements
are extremely stringent, is a characteristic of our
systems. They also offer excellent slip resistance
properties, even under wet conditions, combining
functional and safety-related properties.

Secondary Containment
In the chemical industry UCRETE® performs a
number of functions:
• P
rotection of concrete and mild steel
structures from aggressive chemicals
• Containment of accidental spillages,
so protecting the environment
• Safe surface for foot and
vehicular traffic
• Helps to control unwanted static
electricity that could affect
electronic devices or cause
powder/solvent explosions
Chemical Resistance
UCRETE® is resistant to chemicals including:
oncentrated organic and inorganic acids
• C
such as acetic and sulphuric acid
• Concentrated alkalis such as sodium
hydroxide
• Most solvents and alcohols
3
2
As a second line of defence for preventing,
controlling or mitigating major hazard events,
secondary containment is an essential
measure for chemical and petrochemical storage. Structurally
sound, regularly inspected
secondary containment is
essential to ensure the
safe storage of hazardous
liquids: UCRETE® meets the
demands of these environments, in
line with stringent environmental legislation.
Bunds invariably have to withstand both static
and dynamic loads of the liquid as well as its
additional weight in the event of storage tank
failure, not to mention ongoing thermal and
shrinkage stress.
Anti-Static
Anti-static grades of UCRETE® are essential when
specifying secondary containment for solvent
storage bunds in order to minimise the risk of
explosion.

full chemical resistance details.

Betafence’s consulting engineers had already identified UCRETE®
as a suitable system for the bund before contacting BASF
Construction Chemicals, so specification was straightforward. A
total of 300m² of UCRETE® UD200 was used for the floor of the
bund and UCRETE® RG, a robust render for vertical applications
in wet and dry process environments, was applied at 9mm on
the 1.5 metre high walls, with MASTERFLEX® 460 being used to
seal the joints.

It is difficult to quantitatively test for wear and
abrasion resistance to simulate a realistic
heavy industrial flooring scenario. However
the Los Angeles Test for abrasion and impact
successfully does so and is able to differentiate
between high performance flooring materials.
The test measures degradation of materials
resulting from abrasion, impact and grinding
in a rotating steel drum containing steel
spheres. UCRETE® IF has the lowest weight
loss recorded for industrial floor finishes, thus
providing the longest lasting and toughest
solution.

UCRETE® IF provides an extremely tough
surface for concrete subject to extreme impact
and abrasion. Its dense and impervious iron
armoured surface provides protection against
severe abrasion, making it the ideal floor finish
for applications in the waste management
sector, where a robust long-lived floor is
required. Unlike cementitious materials,
UCRETE® IF is fully resistant to sugary solutions
and waste liquors.

Waste management and recycling facilities
present numerous challenges in terms of the
longevity of flooring finishes. Variables such as
waste type and quantity, site constraints, climate,
wind, customers (private, commercial or public)
and local zoning requirements all need to be
considered carefully. Environments can range
from very heavy industrial plant processes to
clean conveyor sorting. UCRETE® flooring from
BASF Construction Chemicals meets all demands,
offering a value engineering approach to support
whole life costing of the facility.
Wear Resistance

Nuclear Industry
The specification of flooring for the nuclear industry has to take into account
not only the need for resilient, high performance systems but also the demands
of mandatory international standards for nuclear power plants (NPPs).
Key considerations in selecting a floor system include room
use and equipment installed, required standards of cleanliness
and decontamination, any chemicals present (solvents/
caustics/acids), cleaning chemicals, conductive/antistatic
requirements, traffic, temperature and humidity, slip resistance
and aesthetics.

Transport
Transport hubs such as airports, train stations, undergrounds
and bus stations place huge demands on their flooring, which
must withstand heavy foot traffic whilst meeting stringent
safety requirements.
Whole Life Costing
The cost of a floor topping over its entire lifecycle,
from application through to care and maintenance
and finally disposal, is determined by a wide
range of factors. The cost of system materials and
application expenses are not the most important
element: in fact, the care and maintenance of a
floor topping account for the bulk of its lifecycle
cost.
The flooring must also complement the appearance
of the structure and may be required to assist
visually in demarcating traffic flow, either through
colour or directional indications. Additional areas
to be taken into consideration include large
stand-alone structures such as aircraft hangars
and bus depots.
BASF has demonstrated the high level of
sustainability of resin flooring systems through life
cycle costing evaluation carried out by
industry-acknowledged, external
European consultants, confirming
the long-term benefits of
MASTERTOP®
systems.
Our MASTERTOP®
1300 systems have
a service life in
excess of 40 years.
Fire Resistance
Fire safety is
paramount in any
structure accommodating large numbers of
people, particularly in
subterranean areas such as
subways and underground
stations where exits to the outside
may be minutes away. All BASF
systems recommended for use in these
areas are tested to international fire
classification ISO standards including
EN13501. Additionally, all systems are CE
marked to the latest construction standards such
as EN 1504.

The ease of refurbishment
of resin systems at the end of its
normal useful life is a major advantage
over sheet flooring. To be replaced, sheet
flooring must be removed, along with the adhesive
and smoothing compound, and sent to landfill.
Further leveling compounds must be applied
before the new sheet flooring can be laid – all
major issues regarding sustainability. On the other
hand, a MASTERTOP® floor is left in place and the
surface abraded and retopped, not replaced. This
results in reduced landfill and refurbishment costs
and minimum environmental impact, without
sacrificing the aesthetics of the building.

Slip Resistance
Hurrying crowds present an enhanced risk factor,
which is further exacerbated by any surface
contamination: rainwater and other liquids,
food waste and litter all increase the risk of
slipping. Good slip resistance and self-draining
surfaces will limit the risk of slips, trips and falls.
MASTERTOP® and Conica® flooring systems are
available with varying degrees of slip resistance for
all environments and levels of weather exposure,
both indoors and out.

Stadia & Sports Facilities
Contemporary stadia construction goes beyond simply considering the sports
to be served – these inherently large structures must also operate as
tourist attractions, landmarks and gathering places.
Decorative Systems
Profitability for sporting facilities can be elusive,
so maximising the opportunities for tourism and
corporate hospitality are an important element of
secondary usage. MASTERTOP® decorative floor
finishes offer the visual benefit of an individually
designed aesthetic floor coating without sacrificing
desirable features such as easy cleaning, slip
resistance and high durability.

Healthcare
Architectural and interior design in the healthcare sector has
to address a number of complex challenges, from managing
the design/cost interface to achieving efficient, functional,
carbon-neutral care settings.
The shift towards evidence-based healthcare
interiors means that creating a warm, welcoming,
calming environment is important. It is now
widely accepted that colour and materials have
a significant effect on patient well-being and so
benefit recovery times with consequent long-term
cost savings.
Cleaning and care
BASF Construction Chemicals supplies detailed
cleaning and care instructions for each flooring
system relevant to the application for which the
floor is used. This allows the specific properties
of the flooring to be maintained permanently and
economically without the need to use corrosive or
environmentally unsafe cleaning agents. Different
regimes are available for low, medium and high
risk areas. All floors can be cleaned effectively by
mop or machine and a wide variety of sanitising
agents may be used.

This prevents liquid ingress at joints and junctions
between different types of floor coverings. Even
joints with vertical surfaces can be made seamless
using readymade skirting mouldings.

Carrying these demands through to the specification of flooring, the necessity for durability and
high levels of hygiene is accompanied by the need
for comfort underfoot and an aesthetic appearance
that has a positive effect on the surroundings.
In an environment where the consequences of
hygiene failure can be catastrophic, as in the case
of MRSA outbreaks, flooring must be hardwearing,
resistant to chemicals and able to withstand
rigorous cleaning.

Design flexibility is another feature
of MASTERTOP® 1300 series:
between 18 and 37 standard

The MASTERTOP® 1300 series of flooring solves
these potentially conflicting demands: systems are
resilient, long lasting and very low maintenance.
From a practical perspective, they have dense,
easily cleanable, anti-skid surfaces that do not
support bacterial growth.
MASTERTOP®’s resistance to chemicals includes
blood, saline, alcohol, disinfectants and cleaning
compounds. For areas where anaesthetic gases
and sensitive electronic equipment are used,

MASTERTOP® flooring is applied in liquid form,
curing to a seamless finish with a non-porous
and easily cleanable surface that literally leaves
nowhere for dirt residues to hide. Consequently,
the number of bacteria on the surface is minimised
– the same is true of the area under the flooring
thanks to the monolithic bond with the floor.

The majority of the floors in this unique building were covered
with MASTERTOP® 1300 flooring systems. These create the
safest hygienic and underfoot conditions for hospitals thanks to
innovative new bacteriostatic flooring product MASTERTOP® TC
465 AB, developed specifically for health and care establishments
to meet the highest hygiene requirements and the latest stringent
legal standards. In areas with sensitive electronic equipment
(e.g. operating theatres) where a conductive floor to IHS (Ingenieur
Hospital Schweiz) standards was required, the MASTERTOP®
1328 AS system was used.

Education
With even more challenging targets for sustainable buildings
set for schools, it makes sense to partner with organisations
such as BASF that have a real, measurable commitment to
sustainability when delivering new build or refurbishment
projects in the education sector.
Flooring for Food Facilities
BASF Construction Chemicals’ flooring systems
use cementitious, epoxy resin and polyurethane
resin technologies to produce attractive, durable,
high-performance surfaces with whole-life cost
savings.

Sustainable Solutions
BASF has demonstrated the high level of
sustainability of resin flooring systems through life
cycle costing evaluation carried out by industryacknowledged, external European consultants,
confirming the long-term benefits of MASTERTOP®
systems. The ease of refurbishment of resin
systems at the end of its normal useful life is
a major advantage over sheet flooring. To be
replaced, sheet flooring must be removed, along
with the adhesive and smoothing compound, and
sent to landfill. Then smoothing compound must
be applied before the new sheet flooring is laid
– all considerable issues regarding sustainability.
On the other hand, a MASTERTOP® floor is left
in place and the surface abraded and resurfaced,
not replaced. This results in reduced landfill and
refurbishment costs and minimum environmental
impact.
Large-scale catering facilities need easily
cleanable, hygienic, safe flooring. UCRETE®
from BASF is the Number 1 choice worldwide for
food manufacturing and catering environments.
UCRETE® heavy-duty polyurethane systems are
specifically formulated to meet the demands of
fast-track projects. Resin-rich, moisture tolerant
and ideally suited to the demanding environment
of school catering, systems are solvent-free, nontainting, seamless and fully serviceable at high
temperatures. Standard systems in coloured
finishes include smooth, textured, terrazzo and
slip-resistant grades.

The flooring of this new school building had to meet very
demanding requirements. A resilient floor topping was essential
as the floor would be walked on by hundreds of feet every day.
Easy cleaning and low maintenance costs were other key factors
and the floor topping had to ensure the highest possible safety
levels for its young users.

Our resin flooring systems not only fulfil functional
requirements but are also available in a wide variety
of colours and patterns to suit business identity,
style of furniture and other preferences. These
systems allow the integration of a wide variety of
materials and objects to add an individual touch
to flooring. Quartz sand in a spectrum of colours
and particle sizes, granulated polymers, stone
and glass or even other flat objects: all
can be integrated into floor coatings to
stunning effect. Turning a floor coating
into a work of art is not restricted to
integrating other materials – even a
simple combination of colours can create
an extraordinary effect. There are no limits
to shapes or patterns, and almost any shade of
colour is achievable.
BASF Construction Chemicals specialises in
individually designed aesthetic flooring systems
that involve no compromise on easy cleaning,
chemical resistance and high durability. The
MASTERTOP® 1300 range includes a wide variety
of polyurethane resin floor topping systems with
properties ranging from elasticity for comfort
underfoot and impact sound insulation to antislip surfaces tailored by selecting the appropriate
top coat or by incorporating glass beads. We can
even create decorative conductive floor coatings
which eliminate electrostatic discharges. Systems
are extremely versatile and can be combined in a
modular fashion to meet every situation’s needs.

The Museum of London is one of
the world’s largest urban history
museums, with over two million
objects in its collection. A £20 million
investment in its new Galleries
of Modern London included the
installation of a number of BASF
flooring systems. Both aesthetics
and performance were crucial to this
prestigious project.
The

demanded
durable flooring which would
be comfortable to walk on while
reducing footfall noise, with other
key criteria being hygiene and
cleanability.
The comprehensive range of
MASTERTOP®
and

supply six different finishes, some
in geometric designs in different
colours, providing flooring solutions

R:Resistant (subject to reasonable standards of

LR:Limited resistance (occasional spillage tolerated
if the floor is washed down or the spillage
evaporates quickly)
NR:Not resistant (rapid and severe attack even by
small spillages)
Users should also be aware of the following:
• The data refers to floors only:
They do not apply to materials used as linings and
subject to total or partial immersion. Resistance
in such cases is likely to be more limited and your
local basf cc office should be consulted before
materials are proposed for such applications.
• Staining and discolouration:
Many chemicals will stain or discolour the surface
of flooring and joint sealants without causing any
deterioration or loss of properties.
• Solvents:
Many aggressive solvents will affect flooring
on long-term exposure but are so volatile that
spillages evaporate before any damage occurs.
If there is any doubt, always contact your local
basf cc office.
• Maximum service temperature
Each grade of flooring has a maximum service
temperature; this is specified in the individual
Product Data Sheet. As the integrity of the floor
depends on many factors, the maximum service
temperature specified in the individual Product
Data Sheet should be respected.
• Joint sealants
Because of their flexibility, all joint sealants have
lower long-term chemical and heat-resistance
than flooring.
It is recommended that joint sealants should be
inspected on a regular basis and replaced as soon as
signs of deterioration are noticed.

Cleaning & Maintenance
of UCRETE® Flooring
All grades of UCRETE® are hard, impervious, non-absorbent
and non-dusting, ensuring not only durability, but ease of
cleaning when a suitable cleaning regime is used. The cleaning
and maintenance of UCRETE® must be considered a vital and
integral part of an overall hygiene regime covering all parts of a
food processing unit. UCRETE® floors have proved to be both
cleanable and sanitisible with regard to micro-organisms as
tested by the Campden Technology Ltd.
Cleaning
Post contract cleaning
UCRETE® floors are frequently installed at an early stage during
new or refurbishment projects. The floor may thus be subjected
to types of usage very different from those expected during
service. These include:
• Heavy lifting equipment
• Movement of heavy cumbersome machinery
• Spillage of paints, mastics, sealants etc.
Because of this, it is important to consider the following
carefully:
he installation of temporary covers of a plastic material,
• T
for example, polyethylene sheeting (“polythene”), and
hardboard if other trades are to work in the area.
• The avoidance of early heavy usage particularly with rubberwheeled vehicles. This will minimise the risk of dirt being
embedded into the surface of the floor before it reaches
full hardness. A period of 48 hours is advised at lower
temperatures before full service is permitted.
• When cleaning the floor before it is put into service, more
aggressive cleaning chemicals than normal may be used.
These will not damage the floor, but the use of proprietary
paint strippers containing caustic alkalis and chlorinated
hydrocarbon solvents should be avoided as they can bleach
and discolour the floor surface.
In-use cleaning
Specialised floor cleaning equipment is as widely available as
the variety of cleaning chemicals and bactericides used with it.
Your choice of a UCRETE® floor does not restrict your choice of
cleaning regime, equipment or chemicals.
MASTERTOP® 1300 Systems:
Resistance to Disinfection
Flooring cleaning equipment
The choice includes: rotary scrubber driers, mobile scrubber
brushes, rotary scrubbers, high pressure/low volume spray, low
pressure/high volume spray. When selecting equipment consider
the following criteria:
elate the method to the “soil” type; what is suitable for wet
• R
“soil” in a meat preparation area may not be suitable for dry
“soil” in a bakery.
• Relate the method, and frequency, of cleaning to the risk
status of the area; all methods may be suitable in a finished
goods warehouse but not in a high risk area such as chilled
food preparation.
• Methods suitable outside of production hours may not be
appropriate during production.
Most cleaning equipment manufacturers have specialist
knowledge and offer practical demonstrations of equipment.
You are advised to consult them.
Cleaning materials – including bactericides
The variety of cleaning chemicals and bactericides available
is extensive and making the appropriate selections can be
confusing. The correct choice of chemicals is important and you
are strongly advised to seek specialist advice.

Cleaning and care instructions for all MASTERTOP® 1300
systems have been produced in collaboration with international
cleaning specialists. Detailed specifications for efficient and
economical cleaning are available – these are based on wideranging industry requirements covering various areas of
healthcare establishments from low to high risk areas.
All MASTERTOP® 1300 flooring systems can be effectively
cleaned, both manually and mechanically, with a wide range
of cleaning products. The floors can be permanently and
economically maintained without the use of corrosive or
environmentally unsafe cleaning agents.
MASTERTOP® 1300 systems are resistant to surface disinfectants used in healthcare institutions.

Maintenance and repair
Even the most diligently cleaned UCRETE® floor may suffer
damage to its integrity by some unforseen incident in the
workplace, which could result in a consequential risk of
bacteriological build-up in cracks etc. If this situation arises, the
damaged floor should be repaired without delay. Consult your
specialist applicator, who has the in-depth knowledge of the
remedial techniques to restore your floor to its original pristine
condition. Good standards of industrial hygiene can only be
maintained if the integrity of your UCRETE® floor is complete.

MASTERTOP® 1300 AB : Antibacterial Flooring
Ecology and Sustainability
Bacteriostatic flooring systems are scientifically quantifiable,
providing measurable resistance to bacteria, whereas the term
‘antibacterial’ is qualitative. Bacteriocide-based flooring kills
all bacteria unselectively, making it a potential danger to the
environment and to humans. In contrast, bacteriostatic systems
prevent germ transfer and bacterial growth, keeping the floor
safe between cleaning and disinfection cycles.
MASTERTOP® 1300 systems are physiologically completely safe
when cured. Due to their VOC and NMP free formulations, they
also meet the LGA and AgBB standards for emissions.
In addition, the systems do not contain any plasticisers so
that long-term harmful effects on the health are prevented. In
ecological equation terms, MASTERTOP® systems are the clear
leaders. That comparison takes account of the processes for
careful selection of raw materials, energy saving production
processes, transport, economy of installation, useful life,
removal (generally not necessary), disposal and recycling. The
findings are confirmed by analyses based on the Eco-indicator
99 method (EI 99).
Bacteriostatic flooring is the only measurable and safe solution
for hygienic floors in a medical situation. MASTERTOP®
1300 AB floors have proven bacteriostatic effectiveness to
ITECH certification 1, to standards JIS Z 2801:2000 and ISO
22196:2007.
The bacteriostatic efficacy of MASTERTOP® 1300 AB is retained
for the useful life of the floor, providing a safe and hygienic
long-term flooring system.

PCI Floor Preparation Products
Industrial floor finishes are normally and most conveniently installed directly onto the structural concrete

floor slab. However, it is often necessary to use an intervening screed prior to the application of a
professional flooring contractor with a carefully developed choice of floor preparation products for use
MASTERTOP /UCRETE floor finishes or CONIROOF /CONIDECK waterproofing membranes.
under other finishes, including tiles, soft floor coverings and parquet.
Mortars are used to patch and repair damaged substrates (including traffic repairs) and to correct levels and tolerance, or to provide
complex falls to drains. Screeds must be robust enough to take the anticipated loads, impact and thermal stresses.
The range includes high-performance products from primers, damp-proof membranes and cement-based self-levelling
underlayments, flooring adhesives, parquet adhesives and additional ancillary products.

Balconies, Walkways and Terraces
Balconies, outside terraces and
communal walkways are usually
constructed from concrete with
asphalt as the waterproof wearing
course. Without protection these
substrates will inevitably crack over
time. This can lead to water ingress,
resulting in leaks into properties
below, frost damage and corrosion
of steel reinforcement, in turn
causing spalling of the substrate and
ultimately structural failure.

From a safety perspective, standing
water on walkways can potentially
be hazardous for inhabitants,
however, it can also cause the less
obvious problem of capillary action.
Walls resting on exposed horizontal
portions of an envelope, such as
balcony decks and walkways, can
be affected not only by evident
structural defects but also by the
wicking effect of capillary action.
Care must be taken to ensure that the
building’s design prevents this natural
movement which can carry water
into the underside of design details
such as joints, particularly under wind
loading during heavy rainstorms.

with a suitable substrate, our advanced
range of waterproofing systems, joint
sealants, tile grouts and adhesives
recommended for external use on
balconies can be combined to create a

Remedial Treatments
Where water ingress has already
become an issue, restoring the
building envelope through remedial
waterproofing will prevent further
damage to properties and extend the
life of the building as a whole. Our
extensive range of concrete repair
materials are EN-1504 compliant,
making it especially suitable for
publicly funded projects.

The MASTERTOP®
Watertight Solution
Key advantages with MASTERTOP®
balcony systems are ease of
application and short drying times.
Most balcony systems can be walked
on after only a few hours and systems
are available that can be trafficked
after only one hour so that disruption
is kept to a minimum.
PCI Tiling Solutions
BASF Construction Chemicals
has developed a range of balcony
systems, specifically designed to
protect balconies against these
elements, that are both functional
and decorative.
The effect of weather must be taken
into account both at the design stage
of the structure and when selecting
the balcony protection system.
Criteria must include a waterproof,
UV stable anti-slip finish to the
surface of the balcony; this provides
protection to the substrate and a safe
environment for pedestrians.
Where cracks are present, then an
effective crack bridging solution is a
must; this is achieved by incorporating
our tried and tested CONIPUR®
hand or spray applied membranes
into the system. Within the range of
MASTERTOP® balcony systems we
have a number of options available to
achieve the optimum solution.
1.MASTERTOP® Balcony Systems.
2.EMACO® NANOCRETE structural repair mortars,
suitable for profiles and corners.
3.MASTERFLEX® Polyurethane elastomeric joint sealants.

restoration is often a vital preliminary stage in achieving a watertight surface, particularly in the case of
concrete substrates where years of water infiltration, high in chloride content, have been a contributing
factor in the corrosion of steel reinforcement.
The BASF repair range starts with a selection of mortars:
spray-applied repair mortars; a specialist DWI approved
high-strength repair mortar for repairing damage caused
by corroded rebars and nanotechnology-driven fast-track
structural repair mortars under the EMACO® brand all
complying to BS EN1504 part 3.
The installation of preventative measures such as cathodic
protection may also be appropriate as part of a concrete repair
solution. BASF has developed a special grade of its flowable
replacement concrete specifically to support CP installations.
Where structural strengthening is required, BASF’s portfolio
of MBrace® carbon and aramid fibre wraps, reinforcing bars
and plates supply a non-corrosive replacement for steel
reinforcement.
