Understanding Hot Tire Pick Up: The Epoxy Kingz Solution for Resistant Flake Flooring Introduction: Hot tire pick up is a common issue that plagues garage and commercial flooring, causing concern for many property owners. When hot tires from vehicles come into contact with certain floor coatings, they can leave unsightly marks, blisters, or even cause delamination. At The Epoxy Kingz, we take pride in offering a reliable and innovative solution to combat this problem effectively. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of hot tire pick up and explain the system we use on our flake flooring to ensure exceptional resistance. Hot Tire Pick Up: What Is It? Hot tire pick up occurs when the high temperatures generated by car tires soften or even liquefy certain floor coatings. As a result, the softened material sticks to the tires and is picked up when the vehicle moves. This can lead to visible tire marks and damage to the flooring, detracting from its appearance and longevity. The Epoxy Kingz Solution: To combat hot tire pick up and ensure lasting durability, we have developed a comprehensive system for our flake flooring that comprises three crucial components: 1. Moisture Vapor Barrier Base Coat: Moisture vapor barrier base coat forms the foundation of our flake flooring system. It is designed to prevent moisture from rising through the concrete substrate, which can cause problems such as blistering or delamination over time. Our high-quality moisture vapor barrier base coat acts as a protective barrier, ensuring the longevity of your flake flooring and providing an ideal surface for the subsequent coatings. 2. Polyaspartic Top Coat: The second vital component of our system is the polyaspartic top coat. Unlike traditional epoxy coatings, polyaspartic offers remarkable resistance to hot tire pick up, thanks to its exceptional heat resistance properties. This top coat is designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by car tires, preventing softening or sticking of the coating. Additionally, polyaspartic coatings cure quickly, allowing for a faster installation process, so you can get back to using your garage or commercial space sooner. 3. Mechanical Surface Preparation: Preparation is key to achieving a successful and long-lasting flake flooring system. Before applying the moisture vapor barrier base coat and polyaspartic top coat, we utilize mechanical surface preparation techniques to ensure the concrete substrate is properly cleaned, profiled, and ready for coating adhesion. This meticulous preparation enhances the bonding capabilities of our coatings, reducing the risk of any issues like hot tire pick up in the future. Conclusion: At The Epoxy Kingz, we understand the importance of delivering high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing flake flooring solutions. Our system, incorporating a moisture vapor barrier base coat, polyaspartic top coat, and mechanical surface preparation, provides exceptional resistance to hot tire pick up, ensuring your flooring remains pristine and visually appealing for years to come.
