Ultra TUFF is a state of the art, WATER BASED, SINGLE PACK acrylic/urethane copolymer with recycled rubber crumb as an aggregate. This environmentally friendly coating is extremely durable and designed to adhere to most substrates with excellent abrasion and chemical resistance rendering them non-slip. Ultra TUFF contains no VOC’s, is odorless and can be applied with a roller, low pressure spray gun or airless, Typical thickness is approximately 30-40 mils. See printable spec sheet. Also, See printable warranty.

Unlike epoxies Ultra TUFF is also very flexible making it chip and impact resistant. Ultra TUFF will handle wear from foot traffic to forklift and automotive traffic. Ultra TUFF is an air dry, air cure coating and is non-flammable. Available in 20 UV resistant colors.

Pot and Shelf Life

Ultra TUFF has no pot life. Ultra TUFF has a minimum shelf life of one year from manufacture. Partly used cans of Ultra TUFF can be re-sealed for up to one year without damage to the product. Dilution of Ultra TUFF must only be done with clean water. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR THINNERS. DO NOT LET FREEZE.

Curing

Ultra TUFF cures as a result of a cross linking process and evaporation and should, therefore, be touch dry in 30 minutes per coat (77°F & 50% humidity). Light traffic is possible after 10-12 hours, hard dry in 24 hours, and a full cure will take 5-7 days.

Coverage

Pending final application requirements, it is recommended that Ultra TUFF is applied at a minimum of 40-50 sq. ft. per gallon for most non-heavy commercial applications, and 35 sq. ft. per gallon for heavy industrial applications. The desired thickness is achieved in two coats for most non-heavy commercial applications and in three coats for heavy industrial applications. These coverage estimates include the multiple coats necessary to achieve desired thickness.

Surface Preparation and Adhesion

As with all coatings, Ultra TUFF adhesion is dependent on the quality of the substrate and the preparation of the substrate. All surfaces must be sound, dry, free of oil, wax, grease, and loose material. Use the Ultra TUFF Application Manual as directed.
