That's great, but sometimes it's better know the actual facts about a product.  If something is supposedly durable or long-lasting, you want to know what it is about the product that makes it so. Otherwise, you might be skeptical of the validity of such claims. In today's article, we're explaining exactly what it is about urethane cement that provides all of the benefits you've heard about.

After all, if dairy farming is your livelihood, then it's important to take care of the animals that produce the main ingredient of all dairy products. However, cows are not the only essential part of an effective and efficient dairy farm. Flooring is a major component. The right flooring can lay the groundwork for successful farming, and consequently, the wrong flooring can introduce serious problems to your farming.  [Read More](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/6-flooring-challenges-dairy-farmers-face...-and-the-solution) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/6-flooring-challenges-dairy-farmers-face...-and-the-solution#comments-listing) Topics: [Work Safety](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/topic/work-safety), [Industrial Floor Coatings](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/topic/industrial-floor-coatings), [Urethane Coatings](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/topic/urethane-coatings) ## [A Guide to Urethane Cement](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/a-guide-to-urethane-cement) Posted by [Jamie Gillespie](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/author/jamie-gillespie) on Nov 14, 2018, 1:58:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/hubfs/urethane%20cement_blog.jpg)](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/a-guide-to-urethane-cement) Urethane cement creates a durable and professional commercial flooring solution that lasts for decades.

A few coats of polyurethane protects an industrial manufacturing facility’s floor, providing a smooth durable finish that has superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. When applying a urethane coating for any project — be it DIY or a professionally-installed industrial floor coating — there are certain maxims to keep in mind.

Not only is it [subject to cracking as it cures](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/why-do-concrete-floors-crack), untreated concrete can be affected by vehicle traffic, corrosive chemicals, and freezing water. If you have a concrete surface, whether exterior or interior, there’s a good chance you’ll need to get it treated with some sort of sealant or coating. But which is best for your situation—a concrete sealer, or something stronger such as an epoxy or urethane? The answer depends mostly on where the concrete is located and what it’s primarily used for.

Whether you’re building a new facility or transforming an outdated data center to meet today’s standards, you’ll want to invest in flooring that helps control the environment and protects equipment. If your facility has concrete flooring, installing an [epoxy coating](https://www.cpcfloorcoatings.com/specialty-coatings/epoxy/) is an economical option that offers several major benefits.

But the initial cost isn’t the only thing to consider: if you choose a flooring type that’s not durable enough to stand up to customer traffic, repair and replacements will become an operational cost you’ll have to factor in every few years. Carpet, hardwood, vinyl, and tile may be fine for department stores or areas that don’t have constant foot traffic. However, these flooring types are all susceptible to high levels of wear and damage in [high-traffic areas](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/choosing-the-best-flooring-for-high-traffic-areas). If you’re expecting a high volume of shoppers (or are directing all traffic along just a few major thoroughfares), you’ll probably want something that will stand up better. If you’re looking for the most durable commercial flooring available (and would like to save money at the same time), consider starting with your concrete slab and applying one of these attractive finishes: [Read More](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/durable-commercial-flooring-options) 16 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/durable-commercial-flooring-options#comments-listing) Topics: [Urethane Coatings](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/topic/urethane-coatings), [Epoxy Coatings](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/topic/epoxy-coatings), [Concrete Polishing](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/topic/concrete-polishing) ## [Flooring Solutions for the Beverage Industry](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/flooring-solutions-for-the-beverage-industry) Posted by [Jeremy Gillespie](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/author/jeremy-gillespie) on Mar 14, 2018, 4:49:01 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![beverage production bottling.jpg](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/hubfs/blog/beverage%20production%20bottling.jpg)](https://info.cpcfloorcoatings.com/flooring-solutions-for-the-beverage-industry) Are you looking to build a new beverage processing plant, or need help to remediate flooring issues in an existing building?

However, outdoor concrete surfaces—especially those used for pedestrian or vehicle traffic—can be stained or damaged by everyday use. In areas that regularly experience cold and wet winters, the freeze-thaw cycle can widen cracks and create areas of spalling. If your facility has an outdoor concrete surface that you’d like to keep attractive and pedestrian-safe, you’ll find several options for protective coatings. Below we’ve overviewed several of the most common options, ranked from the least to most protection.
