Project examples 4

5. 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

6. UV-curable
floor coatings

7. UV floor coating systems
Fast return to service
Safe installation process
Wide range of colors and textures
Exceed limitations of traditional coatings

8. 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.

9. UV floor coating systems
100% solids UV curable coatings are near-zero VOC emissions.

10. UV floor coating systems
UV light cures instantly to a completely dry and durable solid finish. 10

11. 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

25. 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.

27. 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

28. Food & beverage processing, handling, packaging & storage facilities

29. 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).
