BASF to Participate in 20th Edition of Gulfood in Dubai from February 8-12
Company to Spotlight Heavy Duty Polyurethane Floor - Ucrete® at Booth ZN42 in Za'abeel Hall at Dubai World Trade Centre
BASF Construction Chemicals, the leading supplier of chemical systems and formulations to the construction industry in the region, is set to introduce its latest range of high performance Master Builders Solutions flooring systems for kitchens, food & beverage production, and industrial facilities at Gulfood 2015.
From its stand ZN 42 in Za'abeel Hall at the Dubai World Trade Centre, BASF will showcase its popular Ucrete® polyurethane flooring solutions that are durable, non-tainting, fast to apply, moisture tolerant, thermal shock resistant, chemically resistant, clean and safe, slip-resistant and antistatic. The solutions are also sustainable as their longevity helps with resource management. The system produces low levels of emissions into the air while its non-tainting properties contribute to the health of applicators and end users, while ensuring food is not effected even during application.
Ucrete Floors demonstrate hygiene and clean-ability similar to stainless steel, even on highly profiled slip resistant Ucrete floors. Combined with its chemical and live stream resistance, Ucrete is the ideal choice for a safe and germ-free working environment.
Known as the world's toughest floor, Ucrete is popular across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The solution has demonstrated excellent performance in working areas such as kitchens, restaurants, dairies, bakeries, meat processing factories, cold rooms, juice presses and washing areas.
BASF's Master Builders Solutions performance flooring systems comply with the strictest levels of quality, hygiene and safety in meeting the regional requirements of the food and hospitality industries.
Celebrating its 20th edition this year, the world's biggest annual food and hospitality show is set to run from February 8-12, 2015. The event spanning 127,000 square meters of exhibition space is expected to attract more than 85,000 visitors from over 170 countries.
