No. UV-curing technology has delivered efficiency, durability and solvent-free environmental responsibility to the marketplace for more than 50 years. UV technology was brought to the flooring industry several years ago.

UVolve^® Instant Floor Coatings are UV-curable acrylates.  Acrylates are a special type of acrylic chemicals.

The coating cures instantly when exposed to the UV light from the curing machine.

Yes. Unlike many traditional floor coatings UVolve^® contains no solvents and that is why it is called a 100% solids material. 100% solids means the applied amount of liquid will become solid; there is no evaporation of solvents.

UVolve^® is safe and a non-hazardous product and is installed by Approved Applicators who have been trained on installing the coatings. Because the product contains no solvents and has near-zero VOC emissions and low odor, people and products can remain in areas near to where UVolve^® is being applied without harm or discomfort.

UVolve^® is cured via a specified UV light dose from a UV-curing machine and cannot be exposed to sunlight.  If UV coatings are applied outside, measures must taken to avoid direct exposure of the coating to any UV light other than that generated from the curing machine.

These coverage rates depend on the specific UVolve^® system and how the concrete is prepared. In general:

A gallon of UVolve^® Instant Floor Coatings will cover:

• 130 ft2 @ 12 mils using the UVolve^® Clarity System;
• 80 ft2 @ 20 mils using the UVolve^® Vivid System;
• 400 ft2 @ 4 mils using the UVolve^® Seal Coat.

One liter of Uvolve Instant Floor Coatings will cover:

• 3.3 m2 @ 300 micron using the UVolve^® Clarity System;
• 1.95 m2 @ 500 mils using the UVolve^® Vivid System;
• 9.8 m2 @ 100 micron using the UVolve^® Seal Coat.

UVolve^® is a one component system. There is no mixing, no pot life constraints and no wasted product.

There are no components to mix. The only mixing needed is general agitation before use for pigmented coatings.

There are several manufacturers of floor curing machines. Contact us to learn more about the recommended manufacturers.

Pricing depends on the type and size of the equipment. Our recommended equipment manufacturers offer various lease programs.

UVolve^® requires the same prep equipment you use to prepare concrete for coating.

Once entered into our system your order will ship within two business days for the UVolve^® Clarity System and UVolve^® Vivid System products. Custom colors may require a lead time of up to four weeks.

UV floor coatings address the market need for fast return to sevice via an instant cure; whereas traditional floor coatings have not been able to meet these specific needs. There are a few small companies now entering this market but with limited product offerings.

We have completed many projects in warehouses, car dealerships, universities, offices, different types of production areas, temperature controlled areas, animal centers, health centers and many more.

Unlike other floor coatings that require hours and even multiple days for drying time, UVolve^® Instant Floor Coatings – as the name suggests - cure instantly and are immediately ready for full use.

Since there are many different coatings on the market and the composition of these is unknown, the short answer is "it depends". We recommend removing the existing coating to provide a freshly ground, clean substrate.
