BASF Launches Ucrete MF40AS Industrial Flooring System on European Market

With Ucrete MF40AS BASF has launched a new heavy-duty antistatic flooring system that is based on a polyurethane cement technology. It complements the BASF product portfolio of chemical solutions for construction, which is bundled under the Master Builders Solutions® brand.

Ucrete MF40AS offers numerous advantages in terms of a safe and aesthetic working environment, robustness and durability: Thanks to its antistatic properties, the flooring system protects electrostatic-sensitive devices and can be used in explosion hazard areas.

“Our customers’ demand for antistatic flooring systems is growing. This is a result of the EU ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) directives that state requirements in the field of explosion protection, as well as the growing number of electronic components that are being used throughout industry. With the launch of Ucrete MF40AS we aim to meet this increasing demand and further strengthen our portfolio of industrial flooring solutions,” says Philip Ansell, European Marketing Manager for Ucrete Industrial Flooring at BASF. Ucrete MF40AS’s combination of chemical resistance, durability and antistatic features represents a unique offering for a safe working environment – especially for customers in the food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries.

Thanks to its new technology, Ucrete MF40AS is also available in the new colors, cream and bright yellow, in addition to the standard range. Like all Ucrete flooring solutions, the new system is dense and impervious, meeting the highest hygienic standards and withstanding extreme thermal, mechanical and chemical impact – thus offering a long service life.

This robustness and durability of Ucrete flooring solutions is demonstrated in a video clip called “Ucrete Destruction Challenge”. The Master Builders Solutions experts tested Ucrete flooring under the harshest conditions – for instance freezing it with liquid nitrogen or hitting it with a sledge hammer – and the floor withstood everything.

Ucrete is the world’s toughest floor. It was launched in 1969 and has since then been used in various industries – including the food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Thanks to its good cleanability as well as chemical, thermal and mechanical resistance, Ucrete flooring is well-suited for spaces where a robust, hygienic and durable floor is required.
