UV-curable technology

For the last 50 years, UV curing technology has been used for a wide range of applications including:

• Tube and Pipe coatings

• Optical fiber coatings

• Rapid prototyping materials

• Floor coatings

UV-curable floor coatings

UV floor coating systems

• Fast return to service

• Safe installation process

• Wide range of colors and textures

• Exceed limitations of traditional coatings

UV floor coating systems

UV concrete floor coating systems can meet contract specifications as outlined by ACI. UV coatings can change the original concrete’s surface appearance and texture if colors or specialty finishes are used.

UV floor coating systems

100% solids UV curable coatings are near-zero VOC emissions.

UV floor coating systems

UV light cures instantly to a completely dry and durable solid finish.

UV floor coating finishes

• UV-curable coatings are available in a variety of colors and sheens

• UV-treated floors provide a fast-track application process

• Different levels of texture are available for anti-slip

Application advantageUV curable floor coatings for concrete are not temperature dependent. They can be installed on cold or frozen floor surfaces because the curing process is dependent on the UV curing equipment and not ambient temperatures.

Agenda

• System and application method for UV curable concrete floor coatings

• Identify basic finish options of a UV curable coating system, and what flooring applications are appropriate

• UV coatings — the sustainable choice

• Project examples

UV floor coatings can be appropriate for many projects, including:

• Commercial and institutional facilities• Government, military and aviation facilities• Healthcare: animal care, hospitals, pharmacies & biotech

facilities• Industrial sites, warehouses & distribution centers• Manufacturing facilities

Application uses

Food & beverage processing, handling, packaging & storage facilities

Food service facilities

Floors in food processing and service facilities must be kept extremely clean and NSF certification for incidental food contact may be required.

UV floor coatings are able to be registered with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).

Health & medical facilities

Aviation & automotive areas

High traffic facilities

Available in colors
