Tyre Staining & Hot Tyre Pick-Up

Garage floors and automotive workshops may be exposed to tyre staining, hot tyre contact, vehicle traffic and cleaning chemicals.

Tyre staining occurs when compounds from vehicle tyres discolour the coating. Hot tyre pick-up is a separate issue involving loss of adhesion or lifting of the coating under hot tyres.

UltraSpart® 100 provides a durable protective finish for suitable automotive flooring systems. Resistance to tyre staining and hot tyre pick-up depends on the complete coating system, substrate preparation, curing conditions, tyre composition and service temperature.

For applications where tyre staining or hot tyre pick-up resistance is critical, contact Fortis to confirm the appropriate system.

Product Application

Typical Applications

UltraSpart® 100 is used for compatible concrete flooring systems in garages, workshops, warehouses, commercial premises and industrial facilities. It is also suitable for approved decorative flake and quartz broadcast systems where a durable, UV-stable finish and rapid return to service are required.

Applicator Experience

Recommended for experienced applicators. Complete surface preparation, arrange equipment and plan manageable application areas before mixing. Rapid curing reduces the time available for spreading, rolling and finishing.

Surface Preparation

Surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from dust, laitance, oil, grease, curing compounds and other contaminants that may affect adhesion. Mechanically prepare the substrate to provide a suitable profile. Diamond grinding is recommended for concrete.

New concrete should normally cure for at least 28 days before coating. Repair suitable cracks, holes and surface defects before application. Porous or difficult concrete may require a specified Fortis epoxy primer.

Existing coatings must be firmly bonded, cleaned and mechanically abraded. Confirm compatibility and adhesion before overcoating. Investigate rising damp or significant moisture transmission before selecting the coating system.

Mixing

Thoroughly stir Part A. Add Part B to Part A at a ratio of 1:1 by volume. Mix using a low-speed mechanical mixer for approximately 90 seconds until uniform, minimising air entrainment.

Working time is approximately 15–20 minutes. Mix only quantities that can be applied within approximately 10 minutes, taking temperature, applicator numbers and experience into account. Immediately pour the mixed material onto the floor rather than leaving it in the mixing container.

Application

Pour the mixed coating in ribbons and distribute evenly using a 5 mm nap microfibre roller. Back-roll to produce a uniform finish and assist air release. Avoid excessive rolling or overworking.

Apply at approximately 6–12 m²/L per coat, depending on the surface profile, required film build and specified system. Recoat within the specified 2–24-hour window.

Decorative Flake Flooring Systems

UltraSpart® 100 Clear can provide the protective finish over an approved decorative flake system. Typical Fortis system options include:

Epoxy-based flake system: specified Fortis epoxy primer → Fortis Coat 823 HS colour coat → decorative flake broadcast → UltraSpart® 100 Clear protective coat or coats.
Polyaspartic flake system: approved UltraSpart® 100 coloured primer/base coat → decorative flake broadcast → UltraSpart® 100 Clear protective coat or coats.

Prepare the cured flake surface and remove loose material before applying the clear protective finish. Primer selection, coating quantities, flake preparation and recoating intervals depend on the substrate and approved system.

Where slip resistance is required, specify the appropriate aggregate and final surface texture. Slip performance depends on the complete installed system.

Curing and Conditions

Under suitable conditions, UltraSpart® 100 is typically tack-free in approximately 1–2 hours, suitable for light foot traffic in approximately 3–5 hours and ready for return to service in approximately 24 hours. Full cure takes approximately 7 days.

The specified application temperature range is −10°C to +35°C. Temperature affects working and curing times. Avoid conditions where condensation may form on the substrate or uncured coating.

Clean-Up

Clean equipment immediately using xylene or acetone in accordance with the Safety Data Sheet. Cured material requires mechanical removal.

Follow the current Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet for complete preparation, mixing, application, handling and return-to-service requirements. Contact Fortis for a project-specific system recommendation.
