UDT Quartz Granules
Quartz Flooring General Information
UDT Quartz Granules enhance concrete floors with beauty, traction, and abrasion resistance, helping floors last for years. Coating contractors use UDT MC Epoxies as primer and body coats, broadcasting quartz granules into them. Contractors typically finish these epoxies with UltraSpartic high-solids urethane coatings, though some may use UDT IMPACT water-based urethane (gloss or matte finish). UDT packages MC Epoxy and UltraSpartic in 3-gallon and 15-gallon kits. IMPACT comes in 1-gallon "Contractor Kits" and 3-gallon "Bulk Kits."
UDT Quartz Granules are available in a variety of size and colors
Surface Preparation
Cure concrete for 30 days, ensure it is structurally sound, and remove contaminants such as waxes, loose paint, dust, dirt, grime, oils, release agents, curing compounds, and surface laitance. Shot-blast or diamond grind the concrete to achieve a minimum profile. For coating applications of 4–5 mils thick, achieve a CSP 3 profile (light shot blast). Coating applications of 15–50 mils thick, achieve a CSP 4 or 5 profile (medium shot blast). Trained and experienced contractors or maintenance personnel must properly prepare all substrates.
Moisture Vapor Emissions Precautions
All interior concrete floors not poured over an effective moisture vapor retarder may experience moisture vapor transmission, leading to blistering and coating failure. The coating applicator must conduct calcium chloride and relative humidity probe tests to check for excessive vapor emissions before applying coatings. Applicator should perform a moisture test to ensure the MVT rate is no more than 3 pounds per 1,000 Sq. Ft. in 24 hours. UDT offers moisture remediation products and information. Consult your UDT representative for more details. UDT and its representatives or sales agents are not responsible for coating failures due to undetected moisture vapor emissions.
Material Quantities
a. Calculate area of surface(s) to be coated. Surface area example: 20’ x 50’ = 1000’ Sq. Ft.
5 mils = 320 Sq. Ft. per gallon
10 mils = 160 Sq. Ft. per gallon
20 mils = 80 Sq. Ft. per gallon
