Craftsman Concrete Floors is a Sika Certified Installer covering Sika’s full urethane cement portfolio across two product families: Sikafloor PurCem (Sika’s original UC line, with Sikafloor-22NA as the current workhorse SKU per the June 2024 PDS) and Ucrete (legacy MBCC line acquired by Sika in May 2023, with Ucrete UD 200 as the heavy-duty workhorse). Spec engineers and facility managers landing on a specific product code — Sikafloor-22NA on the PurCem side, Ucrete UD 200, IF, MF, DP, and TZ on the Ucrete side — install through a single Sika Certified Installer credential rather than coordinating separate authorizations per product line. The page below covers Sikafloor PurCem and Ucrete product family scope; the BASF and MBCC to Sika brand transition affecting active specifications; and the verticals where Sika urethane cement specifies into commercial and industrial flooring projects.
Sika acquired MBCC Group Construction Systems on May 2, 2023, bringing Ucrete and MasterTop into the Sika portfolio. The Sikafloor PurCem family (Sika’s original UC line) and the Ucrete family (legacy MBCC) now operate in parallel under Sika ownership. North American marketing is consolidating under the Sika Ucrete brand at the system level — Sika Ucrete SL, SLB, SL+, SLB+, WR, TC31 — while individual product SKUs retain the NA suffix convention. Spec writers and architects routinely see legacy BASF specs, MBCC specs from the post-BASF carve-out period, and current Sika specs side by side in active project documents. Craftsman installs across the entire Sika UC portfolio under current Sika Certified Installer credentials.
Sika Urethane Cement Product Coverage
Sika carries two urethane cement product families running in parallel. Sikafloor PurCem is Sika’s original UC line with Sikafloor-22NA as the current workhorse SKU. Ucrete is the legacy MBCC line that came into Sika ownership through the May 2023 acquisition, with UD 200 as the heavy-duty workhorse and several specialized variants for impact, smooth finish, vertical-grade, self-leveling, and decorative terrazzo applications. Both families install under a single Sika Certified Installer credential. The Subheads below cover each family, the consolidated Sika Ucrete system-level branding, and the credential.
Sikafloor PurCem — Sika’s Original UC Family (19NA, 20NA, 21NA, 22NA, 24NA, 29NA, 31NA, 33NA)
Sikafloor-22NA is the current workhorse PurCem SKU per the June 2024 product data sheet — most commonly specified into food and beverage processing, dairy, brewery, pharmaceutical, and commercial kitchen UC documents. The full NA-suffix lineup (Sikafloor-19NA at the entry-level end through Sikafloor-33NA at the heavy-duty end) covers thickness range from 3/16″ through 3/8″, slip-resistance configurations from smooth to broadcast aggregate, and chemistry profiles tuned to specific verticals. Sikafloor-260 PurCem Gloss is the scratch-resistant glossy variant for decorative and easy-clean applications where standard matte PurCem chemistry needs a glossier surface finish. PurCem chemistry is matrix-integral cementitious urethane bonding chemically to the substrate concrete rather than adhering as a surface coating.
Ucrete — Legacy MBCC UC Family (UD 200, IF, MF, RG, DP, TZ, TCCS)
Ucrete UD 200 and UD 200SR are the heavy-duty workhorse Ucrete products specified into the most demanding processing zones. Iron-filled Ucrete IF handles impact resistance where mechanical loading from dropped equipment or pallet traffic exceeds standard UC tolerance. Ucrete MF is the smooth heavy-duty 3-6mm dry-process variant. Ucrete RG covers vertical-grade coving applications. Ucrete DP is the self-leveling original (DP for Dust Proof). Ucrete TZ and TZAS are the decorative terrazzo variants at 9-12mm thickness, with Ucrete TCCS serving as the encapsulation topcoat for the color-stable system. All Ucrete products are now manufactured by Sika under the same technical specifications carried forward from MBCC.
Sika Ucrete System-Level Branding — SL, SLB, SL+, SLB+, WR, TC31
North American product marketing is consolidating under the Sika Ucrete brand at the system level. Sika Ucrete SL is the self-leveling system and SLB is the self-leveling broadcast variant for slip-resistant zones. SL+ and SLB+ are enhanced variants tuned for elevated chemistry or mechanical exposure. WR covers vertical-grade cove base and coving applications. TC31 is the system topcoat. Individual product SKUs (Sikafloor-22NA, Ucrete UD 200, and the rest) continue to manufacture under their existing codes — the system-level branding is a consolidated naming convention layered over the existing product inventory rather than a replacement of product codes. Spec writers can reference either the system-level Sika Ucrete designation or the individual SKU.
Sika Certified Installer Credential — Both PurCem and Ucrete Families
One Sika Certified Installer credential covers Sikafloor PurCem and Ucrete installations. Regional Sika representative relationships are in place across North American distribution. Spec writers and architects can verify Craftsman’s current Sika Certified Installer status by contacting the regional Sika rep directly before locking installer assignment into the construction document.

BASF and MBCC to Sika — Brand Transition Guidance
Active construction specifications routinely reference BASF Ucrete, MBCC Ucrete, and MasterTop products that are now manufactured by Sika. The May 2, 2023 acquisition transferred these brands into Sika ownership without changing the underlying product codes. A separate regulatory-mandated divestiture created a distinct “Master Builders Solutions” entity covering admixtures only. This Block covers the corporate context and the divestiture clarification, the spec translation pattern for legacy documents, and manufacturer warranty preservation under current Sika ownership.
May 2, 2023 Acquisition — MBCC Brought Into Sika
Sika acquired MBCC Group Construction Systems on May 2, 2023. The acquisition consolidated several legacy BASF flooring brands — Ucrete (the signature MBCC urethane cement line originated by Master Builders in the 1960s) and MasterTop (the industrial flooring brand) — under Sika ownership. Sika’s pre-existing Sikafloor PurCem family continues alongside the acquired Ucrete family. Both UC product lines now operate in parallel under Sika manufacturing. Product codes remain unchanged; no rename or consolidation has occurred at the individual product level beyond the consolidated Sika Ucrete system-level branding layered over the existing SKU inventory.
Master Builders Solutions Divestiture — Admixtures Only, Not Flooring
EU regulators required Sika to divest the concrete admixtures business as a condition of the MBCC acquisition. The admixtures business was sold to Cinven and now operates under the “Master Builders Solutions” brand identity. This Master Builders Solutions entity covers concrete admixtures only post-divestiture — not flooring. The Ucrete and MasterTop flooring brands stayed with Sika under the original acquisition. Spec writers occasionally encounter the “Master Builders Solutions” name in current construction documents and assume it covers flooring as it did pre-divestiture. It does not. Flooring specifications previously written under Master Builders Solutions or MBCC should be updated to reference Sika as the current manufacturer.
Legacy BASF and MBCC Specs in Active Projects — Spec Translation
Construction documents written before May 2, 2023 commonly reference “BASF Ucrete UD 200,” “MBCC Ucrete DP,” or “BASF MasterTop.” The underlying products are unchanged from those specifications — the manufacturer name on the technical data sheet has shifted to Sika. Craftsman installs to the same technical specification regardless of which brand identity appears in the original construction document. Active document updates either reference Sika Ucrete UD 200 directly under the current branding or maintain the legacy product reference with a parenthetical noting “now manufactured by Sika.” Either convention preserves spec intent and installer credential alignment.
Manufacturer Warranty Preservation — Sika Certified Installation
Manufacturer warranty on Sika urethane cement products requires installation by a Sika Certified Installer. Legacy BASF and MBCC warranty obligations for installations completed before May 2, 2023 transferred to Sika under the acquisition terms — the warranty obligations carried forward to the new corporate owner without resetting service dates. New installations of Sikafloor PurCem or Ucrete products receive current Sika warranty coverage when installed under the Sika Certified Installer credential. Craftsman holds the current credential and installs to the warranty-preserving technical specification on every project, including substrate preparation, primer application, mortar placement, and integral cove base detailing.
Vertical Specification Coverage — Where Sika UC Installs
Sika urethane cement systems — both Sikafloor PurCem and Ucrete product families — specify into the verticals that drive any commercial UC installation: food and beverage processing, dairy and meat and poultry operations, brewery and distillery production, pharmaceutical manufacturing and cold storage, commercial kitchens, and decorative terrazzo applications. Product selection per vertical is driven by chemistry exposure and mechanical traffic load, surface finish requirements, and the compliance documentation the procurement officer expects at project closeout. Each Subhead below covers the Sika product selection that most commonly specifies into that vertical.
Food and Beverage Processing — Sikafloor-22NA and Ucrete UD 200
Sikafloor-22NA is the most commonly specified Sikafloor PurCem product for general food and beverage processing — 3/16″ to 1/4″ self-leveling matte aromatic UC delivering the seamless monolithic surface USDA, FDA, HACCP, SQF, and GFSI documentation requires. Ucrete UD 200 specifies into heavier-duty processing zones where mechanical traffic from production carts, motorized equipment, and palletized incoming material exceeds typical processing exposure. Ucrete MF covers dry processing finish requirements in areas where the standard self-leveling profile does not match the operational context. Closeout documentation includes ICRI 310.2 CSP records, ASTM F2170 in-situ moisture readings, and FSMA documentation for facilities operating under the Food Safety Modernization Act framework.
Brewery and Distillery — Ucrete UD 200, MF, and Sikafloor-22NA
Ucrete UD 200 specifies into brewhouse production zones where hot wort spillage, spent grain organic acid, and hot CIP washdown create chemistry exposure beyond what standard processing surfaces tolerate. Ucrete MF covers dry processing finish in malting floors and grain handling areas. Sikafloor-22NA covers bottling line, packaging, and tap room applications where mechanical exposure runs lighter than brewhouse production. Operating temperature performance — -40°F to 250°F continuous service, 150°F+ thermal shock tolerance — applies across the Sika UC portfolio whether the project is a cold storage freezer floor, brewery production zone, or distillery rickhouse.
Pharmaceutical and Cold Storage — Sikafloor PurCem with cGMP Documentation
Sikafloor PurCem specifies into pharmaceutical manufacturing where cGMP compliance documentation is required at project closeout. USP <797> applies where compounding pharmacy spaces are part of the project scope. Cold storage facilities specify Sikafloor-22NA or heavier-duty Ucrete UD 200 for freezer floor and cooler approach zones where the -40°F operating range and thermal cycling from freezer load-in to ambient processing exceeds standard epoxy tolerance. ICRI 310.2 CSP records, ASTM F2170 moisture readings, manufacturer batch numbers, and primer coverage rates deliver as standard closeout package contents.
Decorative Terrazzo — Ucrete TZ and TZAS at 9-12mm
Ucrete TZ and TZAS are the decorative terrazzo variants in the Sika UC portfolio, installed at 9-12mm thickness with aggregate visible at the surface for the terrazzo aesthetic combined with full UC performance. Decorative terrazzo pricing runs above the standard $8-15/sqft UC range, typically $25+/sqft installed depending on aggregate selection, color customization, and project scale. Decorative terrazzo specifies into facilities requiring decorative finish in publicly visible areas — lobbies, retail entrances, and public restrooms adjacent to food service operations — while maintaining the chemistry resistance and thermal performance of standard UC. Ucrete TCCS provides the encapsulation topcoat for the color-stable system where UV exposure or aesthetic color retention is a project requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard Sikafloor PurCem and Ucrete systems install at $8-15/sqft depending on system thickness, vertical, and substrate condition. Decorative terrazzo variants (Ucrete TZ and TZAS at 9-12mm) run $25+/sqft installed, reflecting aggregate cost, color customization, and additional placement labor. Pricing covers both Sika UC product families under one Sika Certified Installer credential.
Both are urethane cement product families now owned by Sika. Sikafloor PurCem is Sika’s original UC line; Ucrete is the legacy MBCC UC line acquired by Sika on May 2, 2023. Both deliver matrix-integral cementitious urethane chemistry that bonds chemically to concrete substrate. Product selection between PurCem and Ucrete is driven by specific project requirements — thickness, slip configuration, decorative finish, vertical exposure — rather than fundamental chemistry differences between the families.
Sika acquired MBCC Group Construction Systems on May 2, 2023, bringing Ucrete (the legacy BASF/MBCC urethane cement line) into Sika ownership. Ucrete continues to manufacture under existing product codes — UD 200, IF, MF, RG, DP, TZ, TCCS. Specifications written as “BASF Ucrete” or “MBCC Ucrete” install with the same product now manufactured by Sika. Manufacturer warranty obligations from the pre-acquisition era transferred to Sika under the acquisition terms.
Yes. Craftsman holds the current Sika Certified Installer credential, covering Sikafloor PurCem and Ucrete product families under a single authorization. Regional Sika rep relationships are in place across North American distribution. Spec writers can verify credential status with the regional Sika rep directly on request.
Master Builders Solutions is the divested concrete admixtures business now owned by Cinven — it covers admixtures only post-divestiture, not flooring. The Ucrete and MasterTop flooring brands stayed with Sika under the original MBCC acquisition. Active construction documents referencing Master Builders Solutions for flooring should be updated to current Sika branding; documents referencing it for admixtures are unaffected by the flooring brand transition.
Sikafloor-22NA is the current workhorse Sikafloor PurCem SKU per the June 2024 product data sheet. Most commonly specified into food and beverage processing, commercial kitchens, dairy, brewery, and pharmaceutical UC specifications. 3/16″ to 1/4″ self-leveling matte aromatic UC bonding chemically to the substrate concrete.
Lead time is 1-3 weeks from contract execution to first installation window, driven by material availability rather than crew availability. Phased installation around facility operations is the standard methodology — zone-by-zone install across overnight or weekend windows. Self-leveling Sikafloor PurCem and Sika Ucrete SL systems return to foot traffic within 24 hours of installation completion. Night and weekend installation runs at the same fixed project pricing as standard-hours work.
Nationwide. Estimating and scheduling are coordinated through Craftsman’s Dallas headquarters. In-house W-2 crews mobilize nationwide to project sites. Craftsman has been installing urethane cement since 1999 and holds the current Sika Certified Installer credential covering Sikafloor PurCem and Ucrete installation.
