What is Ultrashield 100% Solids Epoxy Flooring Resin used for?
Ultrashield 100% Solids Self-Levelling Epoxy Flooring Resin is designed for protecting and resurfacing concrete floors in garages, warehouses, workshops, commercial kitchens, retail stores, aircraft hangars, schools, and industrial facilities. It delivers a seamless, high-gloss, chemical-resistant finish suitable for both residential and commercial epoxy flooring projects across Australia.
Is Ultrashield epoxy suitable for garage floors and flake flooring systems?
Yes, Ultrashield epoxy is ideal for garage floor coatings and decorative flake flooring systems. Its self-levelling formulation creates a smooth, durable base coat with excellent resistance to hot tyre pickup, fuel spills, abrasion, and chemicals. Anti-slip media and decorative flakes can also be added for enhanced safety and appearance.
How much coverage does Ultrashield epoxy flooring resin provide?
An 8L Ultrashield epoxy kit covers up to 40m² per coat, while a 16L kit covers up to 80m² per coat, depending on the condition and porosity of the concrete surface. Two coats are recommended for best performance and long-term durability.
Can Ultrashield epoxy be applied over damp or porous concrete slabs?
Yes, Ultrashield epoxy can be applied over damp or porous concrete when the correct preparation system is used. For damp slabs, Ultrabarrier Moisture Barrier Epoxy is recommended before applying Ultrashield. For porous concrete with pinholes or high absorption, Ultra Primer should be used to properly seal the surface before coating.
Is Ultrashield epoxy resistant to chemicals, tyre marks, and heavy traffic?
Ultrashield epoxy flooring resin offers excellent resistance to chemicals, fuels, abrasion, hot tyre pickup, and heavy foot or vehicle traffic. This makes it a popular choice for garages, warehouses, workshops, commercial facilities, and industrial flooring applications requiring long-lasting performance.
How long does Ultrashield epoxy flooring take to cure?
Ultrashield epoxy flooring is typically ready for foot traffic within 24 hours under normal conditions. Heavy traffic and vehicle use are recommended only after a full 7-day cure to achieve maximum hardness, durability, and chemical resistance.
Q: Can Ultrashield be used outdoors?
A: No. Use Ultrakote UVSeal polyurethane or UltraGuard 95 Polyaspartic for external areas.
Q: How many coats do I need?
A: Minimum 2 coats. Moist or porous slabs require 3 (Ultrabarrier for moisture / Ultra Primer for porosity).
Q: Can I make the floor slip resistant?
A: Yes – add floating media or broadcast aluminium oxide for a heavy-duty slip-resistant finish.
Q: What makes Ultrashield different?
A: Longer pot life, stress-free application, superior UV resistance.
