Dex-O-Tex urethane cement is sold as Tek-Crete, the urethane concrete system line from Crossfield Products Corp., the Los Angeles manufacturer behind the Dex-O-Tex flooring brand, in business since 1938. The line runs from Tek-Crete SL, a self-leveling urethane mortar placed at a typical 3/16″ to 1/4″, through Tek-Crete TT, a troweled mortar at 1/4″ to 3/8″ for heavy service. Sand broadcast, color flake, and colored quartz variants extend the self-leveling class, and the Tek-Crete Sealer CP topcoat finishes the builds. Dex-O-Tex lists the family for food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and bio-tech, healthcare, electronics, aerospace, and food service environments.
Specifications reach this page in two forms. A current construction document may name a Tek-Crete system outright, or an older drawing set may carry the Dex-O-Tex brand name with no system code at all. Either way, the reader needs to identify which system the spec means, what duty class it serves, and what routes exist for getting the floor installed or substituted. The sections below carry those answers. Thickness values, system roles, and the installation model quoted on this page come from the manufacturer’s own product pages and system description sheets.

The Tek-Crete System Family
Dex-O-Tex publishes five Tek-Crete floor systems and a dedicated topcoat. Tek-Crete SL and SL-B cover the self-leveling class, SL-CF and SL-CQ add decorative broadcast finishes, Tek-Crete TT covers troweled heavy duty, and Tek-Crete Sealer CP finishes the stack. Every claim in this section traces to Dex-O-Tex’s current product pages and system description sheets; where their documentation is silent, this page is silent too.
Tek-Crete SL and SL-B — Self-Leveling at 3/16″ to 1/4″
Tek-Crete SL is a self-leveling urethane mortar for monolithic applications, placed at a typical 3/16″ to 1/4″ per its system description. Dex-O-Tex recommends it for pharmaceutical and bio-tech, healthcare, food and beverage processing, aerospace, electronics, and food service floors. Tek-Crete SL-B places the same self-leveling class and follows it with a sand broadcast, a three-component build of urethane resin, hardener, and aggregate that adds slip texture at the same typical thickness. Moisture tolerance and rapid return to service appear on both published descriptions.
Tek-Crete TT Carries the Line’s Heavy-Duty Class
At 1/4″ to 3/8″ troweled thickness, Tek-Crete TT is the heavy end of the line. The thickness tells you the duty. Dex-O-Tex’s documentation rates the system for heavy, abusive conditions including thermal cycling, chemical exposure, and high heat, which is the service profile that pushes a specifier past the self-leveling class. A spec that calls out Tek-Crete TT is describing a floor expected to take thermal and mechanical loads the thinner systems do not target.
Decorative Variants and the Sealer CP Topcoat
Tek-Crete SL-CF (color flake) and Tek-Crete SL-CQ (colored quartz) are the line’s decorative broadcast variants, each documented in a Dex-O-Tex system description sheet. Tek-Crete Sealer CP is a UV-stable aliphatic polyurethane blended with a cementitious powder, published as the topcoat for Tek-Crete flooring systems. A spec that lists Sealer CP as a separate line item is describing the finish coat of one system, not a second floor.

When a Spec Names Dex-O-Tex
Reading the Duty Class From the System Code
The system suffix carries the duty information. SL designates the self-leveling class at a typical 3/16″ to 1/4″, and TT designates the troweled class at 1/4″ to 3/8″ for heavier thermal and mechanical loads. That split mirrors how major urethane cement lines are organized, so a Tek-Crete duty class translates directly when a project team evaluates equivalent systems from other manufacturers. Identify the suffix first. The rest of the substitution or installation conversation follows from it.
Who Installs Dex-O-Tex Urethane Cement
Per Dex-O-Tex’s published material, “all installations are completed by factory trained professionals.” Referral to an applicator therefore starts with Crossfield Products’ own offices in Los Angeles, California; Roselle Park, New Jersey; and Cibolo, Texas. For the broader question of qualifying any urethane cement installer against a brand-name spec, the urethane cement contractor page covers evaluation criteria and the legacy-brand-spec question — what installs when the drawing names a brand the bidder does not carry.
The Approved-Equal Path
When a specified system has a lead-time or supply problem, Craftsman can propose and price an approved-equal urethane cement system from a second manufacturer, subject to the specifier’s approval. An approved-equal submission against a Tek-Crete spec is matched by duty class, so a troweled 1/4″ to 3/8″ specification routes to a troweled system of the same build, and a self-leveling specification to a self-leveling one. The substitution package documents how the proposed system matches the specified thickness and placement method, and the specifier rules on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dex-O-Tex urethane cement is the Tek-Crete system line from Crossfield Products Corp., a Los Angeles manufacturer in business since 1938. The line covers self-leveling and troweled urethane mortars at 3/16″ to 3/8″ typical thicknesses, plus broadcast variants, decorative finishes, and the Sealer CP topcoat.
Crossfield Products Corp. makes Tek-Crete, selling it under the Dex-O-Tex brand from locations in Los Angeles, California; Roselle Park, New Jersey; and Cibolo, Texas. The company has manufactured floor and surfacing products since 1938.
Tek-Crete SL is the self-leveling system at a typical 3/16″ to 1/4″, and Tek-Crete TT is the troweled system at 1/4″ to 3/8″. Dex-O-Tex documents TT for heavy, abusive service including thermal cycling, chemical exposure, and high heat, while SL covers standard processing-floor duty.
Dex-O-Tex states that all installations are completed by factory trained professionals, so referral to an applicator starts with Crossfield Products’ offices in California, New Jersey, or Texas. Where a project team is open to other manufacturers, an approved-equal substitution is the alternative route to an installed floor.
Yes. When a specified system has a lead-time or supply problem, Craftsman can propose and price an approved-equal urethane cement system from a second manufacturer, subject to the specifier’s approval. The substitution is matched by duty class: troweled to troweled at the specified thickness, self-leveling to self-leveling.
Tek-Crete Sealer CP is a UV-stable aliphatic polyurethane topcoat blended with a cementitious powder, published for use over Tek-Crete flooring systems. On a spec sheet it appears as the finish coat of a Tek-Crete build rather than a standalone flooring system.
