LATICRETE Launches its First Pump Truck: SUPERCAP

LATICRETE MIDDLE EAST LLC today launched its first pump truck, which will allow construction professionals in Middle East to finish new concrete or level existing slabs to the highest standard in record time while significantly reducing project costs.

The event was organized at the prestigious Meydan Hotel at the race course, which was attended by Prominent Architects, Consultants, Contractor and Applicators from the UAE.

Laticrete's detailed technical presentation was further enhanced by the live demo of the LATICRETE Supercap truck and Spartacote Coating system in the same outdoor venue.

Welcoming the guests, the Managing Director Mr. Sujit Singh emphasized the potential of SUPERCAP being the "technology of tomorrow" in the GCC region and especially in the UAE market. With the speed the UAE is growing, it is necessary to adopt the time and labour saving technology which is green, dust free and cost effective.

A technical presentation and discussion were led by the visitors from LATICRETE USA.

LATICRETE SUPERCAP is a LEED-qualified, GREENGUARD certified, low alkali, self-leveling, cement-based technology.

Pioneered by multi-national firm LATICRETE SUPERCAP LLC, the SUPERCAP Mobile Blending Unit (MBU) mixes the proprietary engineered self-leveling cement formula at the job site using a computer-controlled on board system. The mix is then delivered from street level to heights of over 50 stories, eliminating the need for hauling unmixed materials into the building. LATICRETE SUPERCAP Applicators easily install the product onto the sub-floor at a rate of up to 15 tons of material per hour, making 4600 square meter installations possible in a single day.

The LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® SC500 is the most advanced self-leveling underlayment on the market today. The low alkali formula offers extremely fast curing times, allowing foot traffic to resume in 2 - 4 hours. Combined with the unmatched delivery capabilities of the MBU, the system is the long awaited answer to ensuring that all flatness tolerances are met with minimal project disruption.

"The LATICRETE SUPERCAP is a new delivery system which is changing traditional methods of finishing and capping concrete slabs throughout the world and we are excited to bring this cutting-edge technology to GCC," says Sujit Singh Managing Director, Laticrete Middle East and Africa, the exclusive supplier of the system in the region. "It has been proven to be better, faster, safer and less expensive on hundreds of job sites and over millions of square meters in major metropolitan areas. There is nothing else like it on the market today."

LATICRETE SUPERCAP applicators utilize their pump trucks to blend and deliver problem-solving underlayment systems right to the jobsite. Pumping is done from ground level and material is delivered quickly and efficiently, directly from the hose to the floor on large-scale surface preparation and remediation projects. Deliveries and technical support are available throughout the region. This revolutionary method of finishing concrete saves time and money for owners, general contractors and concrete and floor covering subcontractors by creating "the Next Generation Slab™."
