Cementitious Urethane
When the floor takes 180°F caustic washdown at midnight and a forklift at 6 a.m., epoxy is not the answer. MavCrete UM cementitious urethane mortar is. It moves thermally with the slab, shrugs off organic acids, and meets the sanitation standards your auditors hold you to.
Built for Food & Beverage. Proven Everywhere Wet, Hot, and Acidic.
MavCrete UM cementitious urethane mortar combines urethane resin with cement and graded aggregate into a troweled or self-leveling body up to a quarter inch thick. Rated for thermal shock from −40°F to 250°F and USDA accepted, its coefficient of thermal expansion is close to concrete's — which is why it survives steam cleaning, blast freezers, and hot-oil splash that delaminate conventional resin floors.
Where the environment demands more, the family steps up: MavCrete UF-HD adds a decorative flake broadcast to rejection under a clear urethane sealer, and MavCrete UQ-HD fills the matrix with quartz for maximum chemical and mechanical resistance. Either way, the floor finishes with an integral cove base and a MavSeal UHD aliphatic urethane topcoat — one monolithic, cleanable surface with nowhere for bacteria to harbor.
Why Processors Specify Urethane Mortar
- Thermal shock resistance — handles repeated 180°F+ washdown and steam cleaning at full system thickness without disbonding.
- Organic acid resistance — lactic, citric, and acetic acids from dairy, brewing, and food processing don't soften the matrix.
- Sanitation-driven design — seamless surface, integral cove base, and slope-to-drain work supporting USDA, FDA, and HACCP programs.
- Moisture tolerant — installs over high-moisture and green concrete where epoxies require costly mitigation.
- Low odor installation — can be installed adjacent to active production and food storage areas.
- Fast return to service — foot traffic in hours; many areas back in production the next shift.

Designed Around the Audit, Not Just the Forklift
Food-safety programs live or die at the floor line. Standing water, cracked cove, and exposed concrete are findings waiting to happen. Maverick details every MavCrete installation as a sanitation system: monolithic surface, integral cove, positive slope to drain, and joints sealed with washdown-rated MavJoint JF colors.
- USDA & FDA compliant — suitable for use in federally inspected meat, poultry, dairy, and food processing facilities.
- HACCP compatible — seamless, non-porous, and cleanable; supports your hazard analysis at the floor level.
- Slope-to-drain work — pitch corrections and drain transitions built into the mortar body, not added later.
- Thermal cycling — rated for service from −40°F to 250°F at full thickness.
- Phased installation — line-by-line scheduling around production, with containment and low-odor materials.
