Ucrete PLC
Trowel-applied scratch-coat primer that seals and levels substrates for Ucrete floors
Product Overview
Ucrete PLC is a trowel-applied scratch-coat primer used to seal and prepare concrete and polymer-screed substrates before the installation of Ucrete heavy-duty flooring systems. Worked firmly into the surface, it bridges minor irregularities, fills surface pores and blocks air release from the substrate, helping to prevent pinholing and ensuring a strong, reliable bond for the wearing layer above. It develops high tensile adhesion with the concrete failing before the bond, which is the hallmark of a sound primer. Part of the Master Builders Solutions range (formerly BASF Construction Chemicals), Ucrete PLC is supplied and project-supported in India by Space Arc Engineering, an Authorized Project Distributor. It is a key preparatory component on Ucrete projects across food, pharmaceutical, chemical and heavy-industry environments.
Features & Benefits
- Seals porous substrates and reduces the risk of pinholing in the finished floor
- Trowel-applied scratch coat that fills minor surface irregularities
- Develops high tensile adhesion – bond exceeds the strength of the concrete
- Compatible with the full Ucrete heavy-duty flooring range
- Tolerant of the demanding substrate conditions found on industrial sites
- Low odour and low VOC, supporting good indoor air quality
Technical Highlights
| Coverage | Consumption approximately 2 kg per mm per m2, giving around 2-4 kg/m2 depending on the scratch-coat thickness (refer to TDS). |
| Strength | Tensile adhesion greater than or equal to 2.0 MPa with failure in the concrete (EN 1542). |
| Performance | Applied at about 0.5-3 mm; overcoatable with the Ucrete wearing layer after roughly 8 hours at +20 degC. |
| Application Conditions | Apply within +10 to +30 degC (ideally +15-25 degC) at up to 80% RH, with the substrate at least 3 degC above dew point. |
| Packaging | Three-component kit totalling about 20.13 kg per unit (Part 1 ~2.67 kg, Part 2 ~2.86 kg, Part 3 ~14.6 kg). |
Applications
- Substrate priming beneath Ucrete screeds in food and beverage plants
- Surface preparation for pharmaceutical and clean-room flooring
- Sealing and filling concrete in chemical and process facilities
- Preparing workshop and warehouse slabs ahead of heavy-duty PU floors
- Pore-filling on power-floated concrete prior to Ucrete installation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ucrete PLC used for?
It is a trowel-applied scratch-coat primer that seals and levels concrete substrates and blocks air release, preparing the surface so the Ucrete wearing layer bonds reliably without pinholing.
How much Ucrete PLC do I need?
Typical consumption is around 2 kg per mm per m2, equating to roughly 2-4 kg/m2 depending on the scratch-coat thickness and substrate porosity. Confirm against the TDS for your build-up.
How long before I can overcoat Ucrete PLC?
At about +20 degC the Ucrete flooring system can normally be applied after approximately 8 hours; at lower temperatures this extends. Refer to the TDS for exact windows.
Who supplies or distributes Ucrete PLC in India?
Ucrete PLC is supplied in India by Space Arc Engineering, an Authorized Project Distributor for Master Builders Solutions. Contact +91 9999155255 or info@space-arc.com for orders and technical advice.
Can Ucrete PLC be used on any concrete?
It is used on sound concrete and polymer screeds that meet the minimum strength and moisture criteria. Substrate age, moisture and preparation should always follow the technical data sheet.
