Water-based Epoxy Floor Coating Offers Industrial Durability, Easy Application

A commercial grade, easy-to-apply epoxy floor coating – which has been used successfully in more than 8,000 automotive dealerships nationwide – is now available from UCoat It® America LLC, a leader in epoxy floor coating technology. The UCoat It water-based epoxy coating system is a proprietary formula, the result of years of research and development to produce a true professional-quality floor coating without the need for application by specialized contractors.

“UCoat It coating systems are the only commercial-grade floor-coating products that anyone can apply,” explained John Carafelly of UCoat It America LLC. “Our formulation offers a higher concentration of pigments and other additives that makes it as durable – or more so – than most solvent-based epoxies. Yet, it’s so easy to apply that anyone who can use a paintbrush and roller can get spectacular results. We’re so confident that our customers will be satisfied, we offer a limited lifetime warranty.”

All UCoat It floor systems begin with two coats of UCoat,™ a water-based, commercial-grade epoxy floor coating. The first coat of UCoat floor coating is a bonding coat and is applied directly to a freshly prepared, damp floor. A co-plastimer additive in the first coat allows UCoat to flow and dry at the proper rate, penetrating the damp, porous concrete or wood floor and permanently bonding to the substrate. After application of the second coat, the surface can be further modified with UFlek™ decorative flakes and UGloss™ high-gloss topcoats.

Being water-based, UCoat epoxy is free of noxious odors. The floor of a typical two-car garage can be coated in about six hours, including drying time, and ready for cars to be driven on it after 24 hours.

The UCoat It floor coating system features seven color options, including black, white, tile red, medium blue, beige, light gray and medium gray.

UCoat may be applied to any properly prepared wood or concrete floor. UCoat is ideal for automotive service areas, firehouses, commercial warehouses, airplane hangars, manufacturing facilities and any other place a durable, protective finish is desired. UCoat is resistant to damage from chemicals, abrasions and impacts. It stands up to moisture, welding spatter and jack stands. With the application of UTex™, the anti-slip additive included in every kit, UCoat is safe to walk on even when the floor is wet. Applied as directed, UCoat is lifetime warranted against lifting, peeling and blistering, including “hot tire pickup.”

The complete UCoat kit designed to coat an average of 575 square feet costs $249.95 and can be ordered on-line at: www.UCoatIt.com or by calling (800) 826-2848 (UCoat-It) or through the UCoat It Authorized Dealer network. Each UCoat kit comes complete with one of seven colors of commercial grade epoxy, applicator tools, a step-by-step instruction manual and video (DVD), anti-slip aluminum oxide, clean-up items, safety gloves and glasses. Material-only extender packs are also available for coating larger areas.
