Advanced Moisture-Cured Polyurethane Technology
UCoat It's flagship system represents a significant leap forward in floor protection, leveraging a chemical reaction with ambient moisture to form an exceptionally durable, seamless finish.
How It Works
Unlike traditional coatings that dry through solvent evaporation, our polyurethane cures via a chemical reaction with atmospheric moisture. This creates a cross-linked polymer matrix that is inherently resistant to water penetration, chemicals, and abrasion.
Superior to Epoxy Systems
Moisture-cured polyurethane offers distinct advantages where epoxy systems fall short:
- Enhanced Flexibility: Resists cracking and thermal movement where rigid epoxy might fail.
- Superior Moisture Tolerance: Can be applied in higher humidity environments and over marginally damp substrates.
- UV Stability: Maintains color and gloss without yellowing, ideal for areas with natural light.
Application Scenarios
Residential
- Garage floors
- Basements & utility rooms
- Patios & outdoor living areas
- Workshop floors
Commercial/Industrial
- Warehouse & factory floors
- Commercial kitchens
- Automotive service bays
- Breweries & food processing

The industry-leading choice for moisture-prone environments and heavy traffic areas.
Complementary Epoxy Flooring Systems
While our flagship is moisture-cured polyurethane, UCoat It offers robust epoxy systems designed for specific environments where their unique properties excel. Understand the right application for your project.
System Types & Formulations
Our epoxy range includes 100% solids, water-based, and solvent-based formulations. Each offers different levels of chemical resistance, cure time, and VOC compliance to meet specific industrial, commercial, or residential needs.
Industrial & Commercial Use Cases
- Warehouses & Factories: High abrasion resistance for heavy traffic and equipment.
- Garages & Workshops: Protection against oil, chemical spills, and impact.
- Commercial Kitchens: Seamless, hygienic surfaces that resist grease and steam.
- Showrooms & Retail: High-gloss, decorative finishes for aesthetic appeal.
Maintenance & Care Guidelines
Proper maintenance extends the life of your epoxy floor significantly. Key practices include:
- Regular sweeping or dust mopping to remove abrasive particles.
- Cleaning spills promptly with pH-neutral cleaners.
- Using protective pads under heavy equipment or furniture.
- Periodic re-coating with a compatible topcoat for renewed protection.
Epoxy vs. Polyurethane: Key Difference
Epoxy provides superior hardness and chemical resistance, making it ideal for heavy industrial areas. Our moisture-cured polyurethane offers greater flexibility, UV stability, and moisture tolerance, often making it a better choice for environments with temperature fluctuations or potential substrate moisture.
