Sika urethane cement means one product family: Ucrete. Sika closed its acquisition of MBCC Group Construction Systems on May 2, 2023, and the Ucrete line that ran under BASF and then MBCC now sells and supports through Sika’s US flooring organization, with current US documents carrying the Sika name. A spec that reads Sika Ucrete, BASF Ucrete, or a Sikafloor PurCem code lands on the same current lineup, andthis page is the map to it. Craftsman Concrete Floors installs the Ucrete line nationwide as a Sika Certified Installer, from self-leveling slurries in bottling halls to trowel-applied screeds on kill floors and in blast freezers.
Urethane cement is the category; Ucrete is Sika’s range within it. The chemistry is a cementitious mortar bound with urethane resin that bonds to concrete and moves with the slab through thermal cycling, which is why it survives washdown duty that delaminates rigid epoxy. Sikafloor PurCem remains live as transitional US naming, mapped product by product into Ucrete rather than discontinued. Seven systems in the line carry their own pages on this site, each built on fetched Sika data-sheet values. This page routes specs, legacy names, duty questions, and price questions to the right one.
Our Clients
The Sika Ucrete System Line
Seven Ucrete systems carry dedicated pages on this site, and each page holds what a spec reader actually needs: fetched data-sheet values, the system’s legacy mapping, and the duty questions that decide between adjacent grades. The line below is the short version. It exists to route; thickness, cure, and cost detail lives on the system pages.
Self-Leveling Slurries — Ucrete SL and Ucrete SL+
Ucrete SL is the water-dispersed, phthalate-free self-leveling grade, engineered on Ucrete HS24 NA, covering general processing duty where a smooth topping is the requirement. Ucrete SL+ runs on Ucrete HS22 NA as a solid-color slurry built for aggressive-chemistry service. Both pages carry green-slab and damp-concrete questions, a recurring reason these systems get specified in the first place. Start at the SL page when the duty is ordinary and the SL+ page when the chemistry is not.
Broadcast Texture for Wet-Floor Traction
Broadcast texture on this line comes from Ucrete SLB, which seeds quartz aggregate into the wet HS24-based screed and seals it under a urethane topcoat. Ucrete SLB Plus does the same job on the heavier HS22-based slurry for abrasion and impact service. The SLB Plus page holds the brand-disambiguation question that the shared SLB suffix keeps generating, along with thickness and return-to-traffic detail. The base SLB page carries the system’s broadcast build-up detail.
Ucrete UD 200 and UD 200 SR — the Heavy-Duty Trowel Screeds
Ucrete UD 200 is the trowel-applied screed for the line’s hardest service, the HS24-bound build specified where freezer floors, steam cleaning, and impact loading converge. Ucrete UD 200 SR is its slip-resistant variant, and the choice between the two is a texture decision the SR page walks through. Freezer-thickness and service-temperature questions live on the UD 200 page, and so does the installed-cost question for buyers pricing that system.
MF, WR, and the Topcoat Layer
The heavy-duty floor finish grade, Ucrete MF, carries its own page, including the what-was-it-called-before question that predates the Sika acquisition. Vertical work runs on the coving grades, Ucrete WR and Ucrete RG29 NA, which handle cove base and vertical detailing rather than field floor. Ucrete TC31, formerly Ucrete DP TC, is the matte urethane topcoat specified where a pigmented coat or added chemical resistance finishes a system.

Legacy Names and Older Specs
Sikafloor PurCem — Demoted, Not Discontinued
Sikafloor PurCem is transitional naming, not a dead product line, and treating it as discontinued misreads the transition. The PurCem systems page remains live on usa.sika.com while the family maps per-SKU into Ucrete. A spec holding a Sikafloor PurCem code gets its exact replacement mapping on the Silkafloor PurChem page, which owns the migration story on this site. The short answer a spec reader needs before clicking through is that nothing in a PurCem spec strands the project.
When the Spec Says BASF
BASF Ucrete specifications install today under Sika branding, one grade name to one current product. The ownership chain matters to spec validity and is documented on the BASF Ucrete page, which walks the carve-out and acquisition sequence and the grade-name lookup. Grade names survived the transition largely intact, so a UD200 written in 2015 still points at a current system. BASF MasterTop and MasterSeal paperwork from the same era is not urethane cement and routes to a different system family entirely.
Ucrete HS22 and HS24 — Routing the Base-Product Codes
HS22 NA and HS24 NA are the base products underneath the systems, and specs increasingly name them directly. A spec reading Sika Ucrete HS22 routes to the Ucrete SL+ page, which owns that code’s legacy space. HS24 NA questions route to the Ucrete UD 200 page. The codes describe real products. HS22 NA is the self-leveling slurry workhorse; HS24 NA is the textured water-dispersed screed. The system pages state which base each build is engineered on, so a base-product spec still lands on an installable system.
Credential Verification and Site Execution
Sika Certified Installer — Confirmed and Verifiable
Craftsman Concrete Floors is a Sika Certified Installer, with logo display permission confirmed and regional Sika rep relationships in place. The credential covers the post-MBCC product family, current Ucrete lineup and legacy Sikafloor PurCem specifications alike. Spec engineers qualifying an installer for a Ucrete bid can verify the certification directly through their regional Sika representative rather than taking a website’s word for it. Project history behind the credential runs through food and beverage processing, dairy, meat and poultry, brewery and distillery work, commercial kitchens, and cold storage.
Substrate Testing Before Any Ucrete System Goes Down
Every Ucrete installation starts with the slab. Craftsman runs pre-install moisture testing per ASTM F2170 in-situ relative humidity probes, with ASTM F1869 calcium chloride testing where the spec calls for it, and substrate preparation to ICRI 310.2 CSP 4-6, per manufacturer system documentation. The results land in audit-ready closeout documentation — what a QA manager needs when the floor sits inside a regulated facility. Skipping moisture verification is how urethane cement earns unfair blame for slab problems it only revealed.
Getting Sika Urethane Cement Installed
In-house W-2 crews provide national service coverage. A buyer holding a Ucrete spec usually needs what no product page carries, and the urethane cement contractor page exists for exactly that. Scheduling and phased installation around live production runs through it. So do bid review on a specified system and approved-equal proposals when a specified product hits a lead-time problem. The system pages above stay the right first stop for duty and spec questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sika urethane cement is the Ucrete product family, a range of polyurethane cementitious flooring systems that bond to concrete and tolerate the thermal cycling of washdown and freezer service. The line runs from self-leveling toppings through broadcast-textured systems to heavy-duty trowel-applied screeds. Every current US Ucrete data sheet is a Sika document, which is the fastest identity check for a spec reader arriving from older paperwork.
Yes. Ucrete has been a Sika brand since May 2, 2023, when Sika closed its acquisition of MBCC Group Construction Systems, the construction-chemicals business carved out of BASF. Specifications and data sheets issued under earlier ownership remain usable, and the grade names route one-to-one into the current Sika lineup.
Ucrete SL and SL+ are the self-leveling grades, Ucrete SLB and SLB Plus add broadcast texture where wet floors need traction, and Ucrete UD 200 and UD 200 SR carry the heaviest trowel-applied duty. Ucrete MF covers heavy-duty floor finish work. Each system’s page on this site holds its data-sheet values and the questions that decide between adjacent grades.
It still installs, under the current Sika-branded name of the product it specifies. Ucrete grade names carried through the ownership changes largely intact, so a BASF-era UD200 still points at a current system, and each mapping is one legacy code to one current product. The BASF Ucrete page on this site documents the ownership chain and the grade-name lookup.
Craftsman Concrete Floors is a Sika Certified Installer with regional Sika rep relationships in place. The credential covers the post-MBCC product family, meaning the current Ucrete lineup and legacy Sikafloor PurCem specifications alike. A spec engineer qualifying installers can confirm the certification through their regional Sika representative.
No. Urethane cement is the generic chemistry, a cementitious mortar bound with urethane resin, and Ucrete is Sika’s brand of systems built on it. A spec that names urethane cement without a brand leaves the manufacturer open; a spec that names Ucrete is calling for the Sika line specifically.
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. Substitution never runs around the specifier. The urethane cement contractor page covers how approved-equal review works on a live bid.
Craftsman Concrete Floors installs the full Sika Ucrete line as a Sika Certified Installer. In-house W-2 crews provide national service coverage, and scheduling, phased installation, and bid questions run through the urethane cement contractor page.
