Screed fits the bill
For a new production area at a food factory in Leeds, a hard-wearing and fast-applied flooring system was needed that would offer long term performance durability. Sika delivered a solution using a high strength screed that would be able to withstand constant traffic and heavy pallet loads.

Following the removal of the existing latex flooring, over 600m2 of the Sikafloor 20N Purcem was applied at a 6mm depth to a large production area at Tropic Foods by specialist flooring contractor, Ultrasyntec.
Highly resistant to chemicals, fatty acids and temperature, Sikafloor 20N Purcem is a polyurethane modified cement screed offering excellent strength and because it normally requires no primer, its installation is said to be less complex than many other systems.
Designed to fulfil an almost endless combination of functional and aesthetic requirements, Sikafloor systems meet all industry requirements for mechanical and chemical resistance, impermeability and fire resistance. Developed to offer exceptional protection to floors subjected to heavy loading, abrasion and high chemical exposure – Sikafloor 20N Purcem proved ideal for the highly trafficked production facility.
