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. 10
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 11

Application advantage UV 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.

Application uses 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
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).

Summary UV floor coating systems use ultraviolet light to cure. UV curable concrete floor coatings provide minimal disruption to facilities compared with traditional methods. A wide range of colors and textures are available with UV curable coating systems. UV coatings are a sustainable choice with low odor, low to near-zero VOCs and minimized waste.
