ULTRABARRIER is a two-pack, 100% solids epoxy coating that offers outstanding protection against rising dampness and negative pressure within concrete.

Available in black and lightbox grey.

It is typically used as the first step before applying epoxy flooring systems, especially on damp, new, or moisture-affected concrete. ULTRABARRIER seals the slab, creates a strong bonding surface, and helps ensure long-term coating performance.

ULTRABARRIER is commonly used as part of a complete epoxy flooring system:

  1. Diamond grind the concrete surface
  2. Apply ULTRABARRIER moisture barrier
  3. Apply epoxy base coat
  4. Add flakes or metallic effects (optional)
  5. Seal with polyurethane or polyaspartic topcoat (optional)

It can also be used as a primer and base coat for flake flooring systems in residential garages and commercial environments.

What does ULTRABARRIER do?

ULTRABARRIER is an epoxy moisture barrier that seals concrete floors and protects epoxy coatings from rising damp, moisture vapour, and hydrostatic pressure. It creates a stable base for long-lasting flooring systems.

When should I use ULTRABARRIER?

ULTRABARRIER should be used when concrete has moisture issues, rising damp, or when coating new concrete slabs. It is also recommended if previous coatings have failed due to moisture-related problems.

Can ULTRABARRIER be applied to damp or new concrete?

Yes. ULTRABARRIER is designed to bond to damp concrete and can be applied to concrete as young as 3 days old.

Where can ULTRABARRIER be used?

ULTRABARRIER is suitable for residential garages, warehouses, workshops, commercial kitchens, industrial facilities, food processing plants, breweries, wineries, and driveways.

What flooring systems can be applied over ULTRABARRIER?

ULTRABARRIER is commonly used underneath epoxy coatings, flake flooring systems, metallic floors, polyurethane coatings, and polyaspartic topcoats.

Is ULTRABARRIER resistant to hot tyres and heavy traffic?

Yes. Once cured, ULTRABARRIER provides excellent durability, vehicle traffic resistance, and protection against hot tyre pick-up.

Can ULTRABARRIER be used in cold temperatures?

Yes. ULTRABARRIER can cure in temperatures as low as 3°C, making it suitable for cooler conditions.

Does the concrete need preparation before application?

Yes. Proper surface preparation is essential. Concrete should typically be diamond ground to create a clean, porous surface before applying ULTRABARRIER.

Colour Accuracy Disclaimer: We have taken care to display the most accurate visuals of our products. However, we are not responsible for the colour accuracy of the device you are viewing our swatches on. These variations arise due to different computer monitors and devices (make, model and technology, as well as resolution, contrast and brightness control settings) in much the same way a scan will differ from an original image and a colour photocopy. Furthermore, coatings can exhibit variation in perceived colour depending on gloss level and application method. If you require a very specific colour match, please make your selection via actual swatches and colour boards available at our showroom.
