In the world of industrial flooring, PU (Polyurethane) flooring has gained massive popularity for its durability, chemical resistance, and long-lasting performance. Whether it’s a pharmaceutical plant, food processing facility, cold storage unit, or warehouse, PU flooring is the go-to solution for environments that demand hygienic, anti-slip, and impact-resistant surfaces. As one of the leading providers of PU flooring solutions in Bangladesh, Ducon Construction Chemicals Industries Ltd not only supplies premium-grade polyurethane materials but also ensures expert application by trained professionals. In this article, we’ll walk you through the complete PU flooring application procedure, helping you understand how it works, what to expect, and why expert application is key to long-term performance.
What is PU Flooring?
PU flooring, or Polyurethane flooring, is a type of synthetic resin floor coating system applied over concrete or industrial surfaces to provide a seamless, strong, and chemical-resistant surface. PU floors are ideal for industries with heavy traffic, temperature variations, moisture, and exposure to chemicals.
Step-by-Step PU Flooring Application Procedure
Proper application of PU flooring is crucial to ensure its performance and durability. At Ducon, we follow an international-standard PU flooring application process, outlined below:
✅ 1. Surface Preparation
The success of PU flooring begins with a properly prepared surface.
Steps:
- Clean the concrete surface thoroughly to remove dust, oil, grease, and laitance.
- Use mechanical grinding or shot blasting to achieve a rough, clean surface.
- Ensure the surface is dry and moisture content is below 5%.
- Repair cracks and damaged areas using epoxy mortar or repair compounds.
Why this matters: A clean, dry, and properly roughened surface ensures better adhesion and prevents future peeling.
✅ 2. Primer Application
After surface prep, a PU-compatible primer is applied to seal the substrate and enhance bonding.
Steps:
- Mix the primer components as per manufacturer instructions.
- Apply using a roller or brush to ensure even coverage.
- Allow curing time (usually 4–6 hours depending on temperature).
The primer acts as a bonding agent and reduces the risk of delamination.
✅ 3. PU Body Coat or Screed Application
This is the main coating layer, designed to provide thickness, strength, and resistance.
Types of PU systems:
- Self-Leveling PU (for cleanrooms, cold storage)
- PU Screed Flooring (for heavy-duty applications)
- PU Coating (for lighter areas or topcoats)
Steps:
- Mix the PU resin, hardener, and filler (if required) in exact ratios.
- Pour and spread the mixture evenly using a notched trowel or gauge rake.
- Use spike rollers to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish.
Thickness may vary between 2mm to 6mm depending on usage requirements.
✅ 4. Topcoat or Finishing Layer (Optional)
In some cases, a UV-resistant or anti-slip topcoat is applied for extra protection and aesthetics.
Steps:
- Apply pigmented or transparent PU topcoat using rollers.
- Add silica sand for anti-slip properties, if needed.
- Allow 24–48 hours for full curing before heavy use.
Topcoats enhance visual appearance, chemical resistance, and slip safety.
✅ 5. Curing and Handover
PU flooring typically takes 24–48 hours to cure fully.
Final steps:
- Allow light foot traffic after 12–16 hours.
- Full chemical and mechanical resistance develops within 5–7 days.
- Conduct final inspection with the client and hand over the site.
