  Not suitable for exterior surfaces as a top coat. for an external coating system, consider using UltraKote UVSeal
• Excellent hot-tyre pick-up resistance, which makes it a great choice for garage epoxy floors

Recommended Preparation Method Prior to Applying UltraShield Epoxy Resin

Preparation is the most important key to achieving a long-lasting floor-coating system

Diamond grinding is recommended method of preparing new & old substrates prior to applying UltraShield Epoxy
The purpose behind concrete grinding is to remove any flaking paint and other types of contamination to achieve a clean surface, as well as remove any sealer or curing agent and open concrete pores, allowing the first coat of UltraShield Epoxy to penetrate deep into the surface and seal the floor.

Acid Etching might be used as an alternative option to prepare the floor For more information on how to acid etch your floor, click here to be directed to an external blog Hydrochloric acid can be purchased from pool shops or local hardware stores.

Recommended diamond tooling grits to prepare the floor prior to applying UltraShield Epoxy are

• 30/40 grit for hard concrete
• 80 Grit on soft concrete
• PCD plugs to remove flaking paint, and then use grinding shoes to smooth out the floor before applying the coating.
