THE SOLUTION

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

simple and long-lasting, EPIC Sustainability.

At Ultra Durable Technologies, we know that preserving and caring about the environment is a critical responsibility. We continue to make strides toward achieving this important goal.

UDT’s water-based urethane floor finish, EPIC, supports sustainability by dramatically trimming material and chemical waste, as well as reducing water and energy consumption. Using EPIC eliminates the need for tedious buffing, stripping, and waxing. The combination of EPIC’s minimal maintenance routine and its simple recoating process results in a significant decreased use of our earth’s resources. That is truly the EPIC way to protect the environment!

THERE IS A BETTER WAY!

EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish breaks the endless, toxic cycle of buffing, stripping, and recoating floors coated with traditional acrylic wax. When maintenance teams buff, strip, and re-wax floors, they consume vast amounts of electrical energy—enough to charge a car! They also generate significant chemical and material waste, including wax, stripper, and large volumes of water that flow down the drain. Because traditional acrylic wax fails to protect floors from wear and tear, it shortens the flooring's lifespan and creates even more material waste.

LONG-LASTING AND DURABLE

Alternatively, Ultra Durable Technologies formulated EPIC to last 3–5 years, even in high-traffic areas. As a result, maintenance crews need to apply only 2 or 3 recoats of EPIC over 10 years, compared to the 20–30 recoats typically required with acrylic. This design not only simplifies maintenance but, more importantly, allows EPIC to extend the lifespan of flooring. EPIC preserves floors longer by forming a durable barrier that resists abrasion, chemicals, and contaminants.

One EPIC customer, Dr. Steve Laverson, finds this system "easy and successful” to use. Steve highly recommends EPIC and is thrilled that the system has transformed his clinic.

NO MORE BUFFING AND STRIPPING = BETTER FOR US AND THE ENVIRONMENT

EPIC cuts out buffing entirely, which saves energy and improves indoor air quality (IAQ). Additionally, there is no stripping required for EPIC once all wax is stripped prior to application. Therefore, it significantly reduces water use and keeps chemical stripper out of our water supply!

EASIER CLEANING

While EPIC can be cleaned with any type of disinfectant or sanitizer, the only materials needed to maintain EPIC floors are water or a neutral cleaner and an auto scrubber or microfiber mop! How easy is that? By only requiring environmentally-friendly products for maintenance and eliminating the need for stripping floors altogether, EPIC also dramatically minimizes the need to purchase and use harsh chemicals. Plus, because EPIC creates a seamless barrier, tile and grout is easy to clean. Grout stays looking great and free from odors that can seep into grout pores.

Ultra Durable Technologies is committed to protecting our environment through the preservation of our natural resources.  We invite you to partner with us to make the world a better place to live!
