The SLABHARD® AutoShield System is a high-performance epoxy and polyurethane automotive floor coating system engineered for continuous vehicular traffic. Professional contractors install this multi-coat solution in automotive showrooms, vehicle maintenance bays and commercial garages where durability is essential. As one of our most durable resinous flooring systems, it provides a seamless surface that withstands daily exposure to oils, fuels and automotive fluids.
Crews must mechanically prepare the concrete to an ICRI Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) of two to three. Installers should vacuum all dust and repair spalls, cracks and voids before coating application.
New concrete must cure for a minimum of 28 days and achieve a compressive strength of 4,000 psi before contractors apply the coating.
Installers must apply SLABLOC® 100 if moisture testing per ASTM F2170 or F1869 indicates a moisture vapor transmission rate exceeding three pounds or a relative humidity above 85 percent.
The floor requires 48 hours of curing at 75 degrees Fahrenheit before light pedestrian traffic and five to seven days before full vehicular traffic.
