Appearance / Colour Sika® Ucrete® MF is available in eight standard colours:
Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Grey, Cream, Blue and Green/Brown.
Note: Sika® Ucrete® floor systems have been formulated to provide the
very highest chemical and heat resistance. As a direct result, some yellow-
ing of the installed floor will occur in areas of direct UV exposure. This is
most apparent in lighter colours.
