SLABSEAL® 100 is a two-component aliphatic polyester polyurethane finish coat engineered to provide exceptional resistance to chemicals, stains and abrasion. Professional concrete flooring contractors use this topcoat to seal and protect surfaces in demanding environments like aircraft hangars, automotive service bays and manufacturing facilities. As a premium component of high-performance polyurethane flooring systems, it delivers a tough, inert finish that withstands heavy traffic and harsh chemical exposure.
Intended Users Applications
This finish coat is designed for professional resinous floor installation crews and facility maintenance teams managing high-wear commercial or industrial environments. It is ideal for aircraft hangars, automotive showrooms, commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, laboratories and pharmaceutical plants. SLABSEAL® 100 requires a primer when applied directly to conventional concrete but bonds excellently to existing SLABHARD® epoxy systems.
Problems This Product Solves
- Prevents surface damage from harsh chemicals like Skydrol, betadine and industrial solvents.
- Eliminates hot tire pickup and staining in automotive service bays or vehicle showrooms.
- Provides a seamless, hygienic surface that complies with strict USDA and FDA standards for food processing areas.
- Reduces maintenance downtime by curing to a tough, easily cleanable finish that resists daily wear.
- Offers reliable slip resistance to help facilities maintain ADA compliance in wet or high-traffic zones.

System Compatibility Use Context
SLABSEAL® 100 serves as the high-performance finish layer within the SLABSEAL™ AutoShield system and other SLABHARD® resinous flooring systems. It exhibits excellent adhesion when applied over properly prepared SLABHARD® epoxy base coats or polymer-modified cement. When applying directly to conventional concrete or cementitious overlays, a compatible SLABHARD® primer is strictly required to ensure proper bonding. It isn’t intended for surfaces with active moisture vapor drive exceeding three pounds per ASTM F1869 unless treated with an appropriate moisture-mitigation system.
Installation Application Overview
Proper concrete surface preparation is critical, requiring a minimum Concrete Surface Profile of CSP 2. Ensure the concrete substrate is structurally sound, clean and free of curing agents, sealers or other bond breakers. Mix components A and B separately before combining them with a slow-speed drill and Jiffy-type impeller paddle for exactly two minutes. Apply the mixed material evenly using a squeegee and back-roll to achieve the desired wet film thickness. Maintain environmental conditions between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring the dew point is safely below the surface temperature during application.
Frequently Asked Questions
What environments are best suited for SLABSEAL® 100?
This topcoat is highly recommended for aircraft hangars, automotive showrooms, commercial kitchens, hospitals and manufacturing floors subjected to heavy traffic.
Does this product resist hot tire pickup?
Yes. The aliphatic polyurethane formulation is engineered to resist hot tire staining and damage in vehicle service bays.
Can I apply SLABSEAL® 100 directly to bare concrete?
No. It requires a dedicated primer when applied to conventional concrete or cementitious overlays to ensure a secure bond.
Is this coating compliant with food safety regulations?
Yes. It complies with USDA, FDA and Food Safety Modernization Act requirements for use in food and beverage processing facilities.
How long does it take for the floor to be ready for foot traffic?
The floor can typically accept light foot traffic 24 hours after application under standard temperature conditions.
What finishes and colors are available?
It is available in clear gloss, clear satin and select pigmented colors to match various aesthetic requirements.
