A urethane cement specification lives in CSI MasterFormat section 09 67 23, Resinous Flooring, under 09 67 00, Fluid-Applied Flooring, in Division 09. No dedicated urethane cement number exists. The material is specified as a resinous flooring system, and the section’s submittal requirements and product naming decide whether the installed floor matches design intent. This page covers the section geography, the legacy five-digit numbers still living in office master specs, and the Part 1-2-3 anatomy of a complete resinous flooring specification, written from the receiving end. Craftsman Concrete Floors prices and installs urethane cement sections nationwide, and most of the defects we price around were written into the section before bid day.
Section numbers and product names rot at different speeds, and resinous flooring suffers both. Offices still issue five-digit sections from the 16-division era retired in 2004, and Part 2 articles still call out systems two or three brand transitions old. An experienced bidder can decode either one. A clean bid set should not depend on that. The current numbering and the translation path for old numbers are below, along with the naming discipline that keeps a Part 2 article enforceable at submittal.
MasterFormat Section Geography for Resinous Flooring
MasterFormat resinous flooring placement has held at the same numbers for well over a decade of editions, which is exactly why stale numbers stand out in a bid set. Current location first, then boundaries, then the five-digit translation path. Section numbers and titles are stated per CSI’s current published list; section body text is CSI-licensed content and is not reproduced here.
09 67 23 Resinous Flooring Is the Current Home
Urethane cement, epoxy mortar, MMA, and other fluid-applied resin systems are specified under 09 67 23, Resinous Flooring, a child of 09 67 00, Fluid-Applied Flooring, within 09 60 00, Flooring. Federal masters use the same family; the UFGS resinous flooring section runs as 09 67 23.13. A urethane cement spec section is not a separate number. It is a resinous flooring section with the system type pinned down in Part 2, which is where the real specification work happens.
Size Outliers: Below $8 Boundary Sections, One Line Each Above $15
Three adjacent numbers catch scope that gets misfiled into resinous sections. 09 61 00, Flooring Treatment, covers densifiers and sealers applied to concrete rather than build-up systems. 09 66 00, Terrazzo Flooring, is the boundary case for decorative urethane cement terrazzo, which most projects keep in 09 67 23 with the aggregate and grind scope described in Part 3. Polished concrete belongs in 03 35 00, Concrete Finishing, in Division 03, because it is concrete work rather than a finish applied over it. Decorative quartz broadcast systems sometimes file under the adjacent 09 67 26, Quartz Flooring.
Five-Digit Numbers Date the Whole Section
The 16-division format retired in November 2004, so everything five-digit is at least two decades stale. In that era this work ran under 09670, Fluid-Applied Flooring. The number 09700 is a trap: the 1995 edition assigned it to Wall Finishes, so flooring content filed under 097xx numbers traces to editions older still. The fix is not patching digits. Reissue the section as 09 67 23 and re-verify the Part 2 product names in the same pass, because a section that old is carrying stale naming too. CSI publishes transition matrices mapping 1995 numbers forward.

Anatomy of a Complete Resinous Flooring Specification
A resinous floor fails at submittal or it fails on the slab, and Part 1 usually decides which. The articles below are written from the installer’s receiving end of a complete resinous flooring specification: what separates sections that produce clean submittals and sound floors from sections that produce RFIs, substitution fights, and moisture failures the spec never tested for.
Part 1: Submittals Worth Requiring
Five submittals carry the weight. Current product data sheets, dated within the manufacturer’s active revision cycle rather than saved to the office server a decade ago. The full system build-up, layer by layer, with thicknesses. Installer credential verification naming the manufacturer’s program. A moisture-testing protocol per ASTM F2170, with the threshold and the action at exceedance both stated. A mockup or sample panel for texture acceptance. On food and beverage work, add the documentation the owner’s USDA, FDA, or HACCP program will request at audit, because nobody remembers it in month eleven.
Part 2: Naming Is Where a Urethane Cement Specification Rots
Name the system per the manufacturer’s current documents, then verify the name is current. Resinous flooring just went through a consolidation cycle: Dur-A-Flex products now publish under Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring, the General Polymers FasTop urethane cement line maps into Poly-Crete, BASF-era Ucrete sells under Sika, and Sikafloor PurCem specs read against current Ucrete documents. A cementitious urethane spec naming any of those legacy lines will still bid, since installers translate them daily. That invites the substitution argument Part 2 exists to prevent. The master-spec fix is one pass through current manufacturer system documents before reissue.
Part 3: Execution Language That Prevents Documented Failures
The execution article earns its length on four details. Substrate: require in-situ relative humidity testing per ASTM F2170 and surface profile per ICRI 310.2 with the CSP number stated, because bond failures trace to slabs nobody tested or profiled. Texture: tie slip resistance to ANSI A326.3 as an acceptance criterion confirmed on the mockup, rather than printing the threshold as if it were a measured product value. Terminations: detail the integral cove base and drain tie-ins, and call the joint treatment at doorways, since edges are where monolithic floors get cut wrong. Cure: state return-to-service by system type, because self-leveling and trowel-applied systems do not cure on the same clock.
Substitutions, Equals, and Submittal Support
How Or-Equal Plays Out at Submittal
An open spec with or-equal language gets tested at submittal, not at bid. A defensible substitution package contains the proposed system’s current data sheets, a point-by-point comparison against the specified system’s stated properties, the installer’s credential for the proposed brand, and manufacturer confirmation that the proposed build-up suits the service conditions in Part 1. Anything less is an argument the architect inherits. Specifiers who want competition without the fight name two acceptable systems by current name in Part 2 and close the section to others, which preserves the bid tension with the comparison work already done.
Pre-Bid Spec Review and Current-Document Packages
Craftsman Concrete Floors reviews resinous flooring sections before bid. Pre-bid walkthroughs are available within regional drive radius; remote spec review standard for multi-region rollouts. As a Sika Certified + Authorized Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring installer, we maintain current-document packages for both brands plus the legacy-name cross-reference for FasTop, Sikafloor PurCem, and BASF-era Ucrete specifications. In-house W-2 crews mobilize nationwide. Closeout matches what Part 1 should have asked for: ASTM F2170 moisture logs, ICRI 310.2 profile verification photos, integral cove base completion photos, and a documentation package an auditor can read without a translator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Section 09 67 23, Resinous Flooring, under 09 67 00, Fluid-Applied Flooring, in Division 09. There is no dedicated urethane cement number; the system type gets pinned down in the Part 2 product article. Federal masters use the same family, with the UFGS resinous flooring section numbered 09 67 23.13.
Part 1 names the submittals: current product data sheets, the system build-up, installer credentials, an ASTM F2170 moisture protocol, and a mockup. Part 2 names the system per current manufacturer documents and verifies the name is still current. Part 3 carries the execution detail, from ICRI 310.2 surface profile through cove and termination details to return-to-service stated by system type.
No. Five-digit numbering retired in November 2004, and 09700 is edition-ambiguous besides: in the 1995 edition that number belonged to Wall Finishes, meaning flooring content filed under it predates 1995. Reissue under 09 67 23, and use the renumbering pass to re-check the Part 2 product names; sections that old rarely survive a naming check either.
The system, by its current manufacturer name, with the build-up stated layer by layer. Single product codes drift: the General Polymers FasTop urethane cement line now maps into Sherwin-Williams Poly-Crete, and Sikafloor PurCem specs read against today’s Sika Ucrete documents. System-level naming survives the next rebrand; a bare product code from 2014 does not.
Five carry the weight: current product data sheets, the full system build-up with thicknesses, installer credential verification by manufacturer program name, a moisture-testing protocol per ASTM F2170 with thresholds stated, and a mockup for texture acceptance. Food and beverage projects should add the documentation the owner’s USDA or HACCP audit program will request.
An or-equal clause gets tested at submittal. A defensible package pairs the proposed system’s current data sheets with a point-by-point comparison against the specified properties, plus installer credentials and manufacturer confirmation of the build-up. Naming two acceptable systems by current name in Part 2 preserves competition without the substitution fight.
Yes. Pre-bid walkthroughs are available within regional drive radius; remote spec review is standard for multi-region rollouts. A Part 2 article that still reads FasTop or Sikafloor PurCem gets flagged and translated to the current manufacturer document before it becomes a submittal problem. In-house W-2 crews mobilize nationwide.
