Laticrete, a leading manufacturer of green flooring and facade materials, is set to showcase its wide range of construction solutions for the building industry at the upcoming Big 5 construction expo in Dubai, UAE.

The largest construction event in the Middle East, The Big 5 will run from November 26 to 29 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

A major player in the region, Laticrete offers a broad range of products and systems covering tile and stone installation and care, masonry installation and care, resinous and decorative floor finishes, concrete construction chemicals, and concrete restoration and care including its Supercap System.

For over 60 years, Laticrete has been committed to research and development of innovative installation products, building a reputation for superior quality, performance and customer service, said the company in a statement.

Laticrete said its methods, materials, and technology have been field and laboratory proven by architects, engineers, contractors and owners.

Offering an array of low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and sustainable products, Laticrete products contribute to Leed (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, exceed commercial/residential VOC building requirements, and are backed by the most comprehensive warranties in the industry, it stated.

A key solution on display at the upcoming expo will be the Spartacote. The novel product's moisture-cure coating chemistry enables product formulations that are not only applicable regardless of the climate but also dramatically reduce application times and costs, said the company in a statement.

They offer superior performance compared to epoxy and urethane coating technology while allowing for ease of installation, it added.

"As a world leader in the manufacture of high-strength shock- and weather-resistant tile and stone installation systems, waterproofing systems, construction chemicals, floor coatings and surface care products, Laticrete is also one of the most specified companies around the globe," remarked Sujit Singh, the managing director, Laticrete Midde East and Africa.          .

In recent years, Laticrete International has seen tremendous growth and continues expanding into the restoration and decorative markets with the acquisition of L&M Construction Chemicals, maker of coatings, sealers, grouts, mortars, and colour hardeners for polished concrete, noted Singh.

The purchase complements the formation of the Laticrete Supercap joint venture, he added.

Laticrete said Supercap will be a major highlight of the expo along with the next generation Pump Truck.

"Supercap is our newest and most exciting innovation. By combining the power of the pump with our next generation self-levelling materials, Laticrete Supercap has created a revolutionary system that has already been introduced and is being used widely in US, Europe and the UAE," stated Singh.

The Laticrete Supercap System ensures safer jobsites for contractors and workers by dramatically reducing harmful silica dust, eliminating manual loading and lifting, and minimizing trip / slip hazards.

In addition to showcasing the tile and stone installation and care systems the company is best known for, Laticrete will also highlight construction solutions and products developed specifically for builders, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
