1

Preparation is Key

  • Ensure the floor is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or old coatings.
  • Repair any cracks or imperfections with a suitable filler.
  • Use a UCoat It-approved etcher or grinder to profile the concrete for optimal adhesion.
Safety Tip: Wear appropriate PPE—gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator—during preparation.

Application Process

  • Mix your chosen UCoat It moisture-cured polyurethane or epoxy system thoroughly according to the product label.
  • Apply a thin, even primer coat using a roller or squeegee. Allow it to tack up as specified.
  • Apply the topcoat in the opposite direction of the primer for complete coverage.

Recommended Product: UCoat It's professional-grade moisture-cured polyurethane for superior moisture resistance and durability.

Curing & Maintenance

  • Allow the coating to cure fully. This can take 24-72 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
  • Avoid heavy traffic or placing furniture until fully cured.
  • For long-term care, clean with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid abrasive tools.
