ULTRASHIELD Premium Grade 100% Solids Self Level Epoxy Flooring Resin
Ultrashield Epoxy is a premium-grade, 100% solids, low-yellowing, self-priming epoxy floor coating resin designed to protect concrete floors and offer seamless, durable floor protection. It is available in both pre-tinted and natural bases and can be tinted using Ultrakote pigment packs.
Advantages of Ultrashield Epoxy Resin Compared To Similar Products
- The biggest advantages of UltraShield Epoxy 100% Solids Resin over other high-solids products are that it has an extended pot life, which means the applicator has enough time to apply the mixed product without stress, and it has excellent resistance against UV light, which means it will take much longer for it to change colour in front of roller doors.
Not suitable for exterior surfaces as a top coat. for an external coating system, consider using UltraKote UVSeal - Excellent hot-tyre pick-up resistance, which makes it a great choice for garage epoxy floors
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
- Excellent fuel and chemical resistance.
- Produces a smooth and glossy finish; slip resistance floor finishes can be achieved by adding anti-slip media to the coating system.
- Easy application by brush, roller, squeegee, or spray equipment.
- Available in a wide range of colours to achieve an attractive & aesthetically pleasing finish.

Recommended Preparation Method Prior to Applying UltraShield Epoxy Resin
Preparation is the most important key to achieving a long-lasting floor-coating system
Diamond grinding is recommended method of preparing new & old substrates prior to applying UltraShield Epoxy
The purpose behind concrete grinding is to remove any flaking paint and other types of contamination to achieve a clean surface, as well as remove any sealer or curing agent and open concrete pores, allowing the first coat of UltraShield Epoxy to penetrate deep into the surface and seal the floor.
Acid Etching might be used as an alternative option to prepare the floor For more information on how to acid etch your floor, click here to be directed to an external blog Hydrochloric acid can be purchased from pool shops or local hardware stores.
Recommended diamond tooling grits to prepare the floor prior to applying UltraShield Epoxy are
- 30/40 grit for hard concrete
- 80 Grit on soft concrete
- PCD plugs to remove flaking paint, and then use grinding shoes to smooth out the floor before applying the coating.
