Craftsman Concrete Floors is a Sika Installer for Sika urethane cement, covering both Sika product families — Ucrete and Sikafloor PurCem — under one credential, installed nationwide. The systems Craftsman specifies and installs today are Sika Ucrete UD 200 and UD 200 SR, the heavy-duty screeds for wet and dry process areas; Sika Ucrete SL and SL+, the self-leveling slurries for general industrial and aggressive environments; and Sika Ucrete MF, the smooth screed for dry-process areas. Each current system has its own spec page carrying the manufacturer data sheet, service temperature by thickness, and full technical detail.

Sika acquired the MBCC Group construction systems business on May 2, 2023, bringing Ucrete — the urethane cement line originated by Master Builders and later sold as BASF Ucrete — into the Sika portfolio. In North America, Sika now carries its full urethane cement line under the Sika Ucrete brand; Sikafloor PurCem is the earlier North American name for that same line. A specification written as “BASF Ucrete,” “MBCC Ucrete,” or “Sikafloor PurCem” installs as the current Sika Ucrete equivalent, all under Sika North American brand.

Current Sika Ucrete Systems Craftsman Installs

These are the Sika urethane cement systems in active specification today, each with a dedicated product page carrying the manufacturer data sheet and thickness-banded specs. Selection runs on duty, finish, and environment — screed versus self-leveling slurry, smooth versus slip-resistant, dry versus wet or freezer service.

Ucrete UD 200 and UD 200 SR — Heavy-Duty Screeds

Sika Ucrete UD 200 is the heavy-duty wearing-layer screed for wet and dry process areas, with service temperature set by installed thickness — freezer service to -40°F at 3/8 inch, up to 302°F occasional spillage at 1/2 inch. Sika Ucrete UD 200 SR is the slip-resistant version of the same chemistry, specified where wet, greasy, or washdown floors make slip-fall the governing concern. Full specs, coverage, and the Sika data sheet are on the Ucrete UD 200 and Ucrete UD 200 SR pages.

Ucrete SL and SL+ — Self-Leveling Slurries

Sika Ucrete SL is a self-leveling polyurethane cement slurry at 80 to 160 mils for general industrial floors — warehouses, production facilities, laboratories, and workshops — and meets USDA requirements for use in food plants. Sika Ucrete SL+ is the heavier-duty slurry at 160 to 250 mils for aggressive environments, freezers and coolers, food processing, dairies, breweries, and distilleries. Both hold a -40°F to 248°F range. The system data sheets are on the Ucrete SL and Ucrete SL+ pages.

Ucrete MF — Smooth Dry-Process Screed

Sika Ucrete MF is a smooth, heavy-duty screed for dry-process areas — clean rooms, dry packing lines, storage, and warehouses — where a flat, easy-to-clean surface matters more than the aggressive slip resistance a wet washdown floor needs. Specs and the data sheet are on the Ucrete MF page.

Brand and Naming Transitions — What Changed for Your Spec

Active construction documents still reference BASF Ucrete, MBCC Ucrete, MasterTop, and Sikafloor PurCem. Here is what each transition means for a specification and a warranty.

The May 2023 Acquisition — Ucrete Is Now Made by Sika

The May 2, 2023 MBCC acquisition moved Ucrete and MasterTop into Sika ownership alongside the existing Sikafloor PurCem line, without changing a single product code — Ucrete UD 200 is still UD 200, and only the manufacturer name on the data sheet shifted to Sika. A spec written as “BASF Ucrete UD 200” or “MBCC Ucrete” installs as the same product, and pre-acquisition manufacturer warranty obligations carried forward to Sika. New installations receive current Sika warranty coverage when installed under the Sika Installer credential.

“Master Builders Solutions” Is Admixtures Only — Not Flooring

EU regulators required Sika to divest the concrete admixtures business as a condition of the acquisition; it was sold to Cinven and now trades as “Master Builders Solutions.” That entity covers admixtures only — the Ucrete and MasterTop flooring brands stayed with Sika. A flooring specification still written under “Master Builders Solutions” or “MBCC” should reference Sika as the current manufacturer; an admixtures document under that name is unaffected by the flooring brand transition.

Sikafloor PurCem and Sika Ucrete — the North American Naming

In North America, Sika has consolidated its urethane cement under the Sika Ucrete brand; the Sikafloor PurCem name in older North American specs refers to the same cementitious urethane chemistry. The products map directly: Sikafloor-22 NA PurCem corresponds to Sika Ucrete HS22 NA, the slurry behind Ucrete SL+, and the PurCem topcoat carries over to Sika Ucrete TC31 NA. A specification that calls out Sikafloor PurCem or a Sikafloor-NA PurCem SKU installs as its current Sika Ucrete counterpart. PurCem-named units still appear in distribution, so Craftsman cross-references the PurCem SKU to the current Ucrete product during pre-bid review.

Where Sika Urethane Cement Installs

Sika urethane cement — Ucrete and Sikafloor PurCem — specifies into the commercial and industrial verticals where chemical exposure, thermal cycling, and washdown exceed what epoxy or tile tolerate. Product and thickness are selected per vertical; the vertical pages carry the detail.

Food, Beverage, Dairy, and Meat

Food processing, beverage production, and dairy and meat processing floors run Sika Ucrete SL or the heavier-duty UD 200 depending on mechanical load, with a seamless monolithic surface and integral cove base for the USDA, FDA, HACCP, SQF, and GFSI documentation procurement expects at closeout. Commercial kitchens take the slip-resistant spec for wet, greasy floors.

Cold Storage, Pharmaceutical, and Chemical

Cold storage and freezer floors use the thickness that carries -40°F service, and pharmaceutical production runs PurCem or Ucrete with cGMP closeout documentation. Across the portfolio, service temperature, chemical resistance, and slip configuration are matched to the environment — the exact range is set by product and installed thickness, which each product page specifies.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Sikafloor PurCem was not discontinued; it is the earlier North American name for the same urethane cement line that Sika now also sells under the Ucrete brand. Sika acquired the MBCC Group construction systems business on May 2, 2023, bringing Ucrete, the urethane cement line originated by Master Builders and later sold as BASF Ucrete, into the same portfolio as the existing Sikafloor PurCem line. Product codes carried through the transition, so a spec written to either name installs as a current, supported system. In North America, both names may appear on active construction documents, and pre-acquisition warranty obligations carried forward to Sika. If your specification reads Sikafloor PurCem, BASF Ucrete, or MBCC Ucrete, it maps to a current Sika system. Craftsman Concrete Floors, a Sika installer for both Ucrete and Sikafloor PurCem, maps legacy callouts to the current product during pre-bid review.

Match the Sika system to the floor’s exposure and finish. Ucrete UD 200 covers heavy wet and dry process areas; UD 200 SR takes over where slip resistance governs; Ucrete MF is the smooth screed for dry-process floors. UD 200 is the heavy-duty screed with resistance to aggressive chemicals, heavy impact, and temperatures to 302°F. UD 200 SR adds enhanced slip texture for wet and greasy food-industry floors. Ucrete MF serves clean rooms, dry packing, storage, and warehouses, where a flat, easy-clean surface matters more than aggressive texture. Self-leveling Ucrete slurries cover general industrial and freezer service between those poles. Craftsman Concrete Floors specifies the Sika system to your service temperature, chemistry, and traffic, and carries the data sheets on each product page.

Four legacy names still appear on active specs: BASF Ucrete, MBCC Ucrete, MasterTop, and Sikafloor PurCem. All map to current Sika systems without a product-code change. The May 2, 2023 MBCC acquisition moved Ucrete and MasterTop into Sika ownership alongside the existing Sikafloor PurCem line; only the manufacturer name on the data sheet changed. A spec written as BASF Ucrete UD 200 or MBCC Ucrete installs as the same UD 200 product. Pre-acquisition manufacturer warranty obligations carried forward to Sika, which matters on long-cycle institutional projects bid years earlier. Craftsman Concrete Floors reconciles legacy callouts against the current Sika catalog during pre-bid review so nothing stalls in submittals.

Craftsman Concrete Floors is a Sika installer covering both Sika urethane cement families, Ucrete and Sikafloor PurCem, with in-house W-2 crews mobilizing nationwide. Sika requires Ucrete application by trained applicators. Craftsman self-performs; none of the work is brokered out. Installations include mechanical prep, moisture assessment, integral cove base, and slope-to-drain detailing, phased around live production where needed. Every current system carries its data sheet and thickness-banded specs on its product page for submittal use. Send a spec or square footage for an itemized estimate, typically within 24 hours for commercial projects.
