FASTFLO™ 80 Ultra is a two-component, high-solids polyaspartic topcoat designed for rapid return to service. Professional installers use this UV-stable coating in aircraft hangars, commercial kitchens and manufacturing facilities. This durable formula ensures your polyaspartic flooring systems deliver long-lasting protection and high-gloss aesthetics.
Intended Users and Applications
Professional flooring contractors and facility maintenance teams rely on FASTFLO™ 80 Ultra for fast-track one-day flooring systems. Typical environments include automotive showrooms, commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical plants and warehouses. Installers must ensure effective vapor control is in place, as this product is not suitable for damp substrates.
Problems This Product Solves
- Minimizes facility downtime with fast-cure and medium-cure options.
- Prevents yellowing and UV degradation in sun-exposed areas.
- Resists harsh chemical spills in industrial facilities and commercial kitchens.
- Stands up to heavy abrasion from vehicle traffic and heavy machinery.
- Eliminates complex measurements with a simple one-to-one volume mix.

System Compatibility and Use Context
FASTFLO™ 80 Ultra functions as a premium clear or pigmented topcoat over epoxy or polyaspartic base systems. It requires SLABHARD® Polyaspartic Pigment Packs for solid-color applications. Installers must perform moisture testing and apply appropriate moisture mitigation systems if vapor transmission exceeds acceptable limits. You cannot apply this material over damp substrates or without effective vapor control.
Installation and Application Overview
Installers must prepare concrete substrates mechanically to achieve a concrete surface profile of two or greater. Remove all oil, grease, curing compounds and bond breakers before mixing. Combine Part A and Part B using a low-speed drill for two minutes until homogeneous. Pour the mixed material immediately, spread with a rubber squeegee and back-roll using a 3/8-inch non-shedding roller. The fast-cure version allows light foot traffic in about four hours, while the medium-cure version requires eight to 12 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the working time for FASTFLO™ 80 Ultra?
The fast-cure version provides 20 to 30 minutes of working time, while the medium-cure version offers 40 to 50 minutes.
Can I use FASTFLO™ 80 Ultra for exterior applications?
Yes, this polyaspartic topcoat features a UV-stable aliphatic chemistry that resists yellowing when exposed to sunlight.
What is the required mix ratio?
You must mix the A-side and B-side components at a strict one-to-one ratio by volume.
How long until the floor can accept vehicle traffic?
The fast-cure formula accommodates vehicle traffic in 24 to 48 hours. The medium-cure formula requires 48 to 72 hours of cure time.
Can I add color to this clear polyaspartic coating?
Yes, you can tint the clear base using SLABHARD® Polyaspartic Pigment Packs during the mixing process.
Does this product require a moisture barrier?
Installers must perform moisture testing per ASTM guidelines and install an effective moisture mitigation system if conditions require it.
