UV Resistant Epoxy Flakes - UV Collection

UV+FLAKE is a decorative vinyl flake used in concrete floor coating systems to add color, texture, and a polished terrazzo style look. It is specially formulated for outdoor spaces where floors are exposed to sunlight.

UV+FLAKE contains BASF Tinuvin® UV light absorbers and light stabilizers that help protect the color from fading or yellowing in sunlight. It is engineered specifically for use in spaces with direct and indirect sun exposure to improve color stability and floor longevity.

UV+FLAKE is optimized for outdoor applications because of its enhanced UV stability. It can also be used indoors when you want the same color palette and performance, but its key advantage is in sun-exposed environments.

When installed correctly and sealed with a compatible clear coat, UV+FLAKE floors have a smooth surface texture and a low sheen finish with gloss values under 15 units at 60 degrees. The random flake pattern also helps hide minor substrate imperfections.

Broadcast flakes add texture to the floor, which can help reduce slipperiness compared to a smooth, clear coat alone. Final slip resistance will depend on flake size, broadcast density, and the type of clear coat or topcoat used.

No, UV+FLAKE is a decorative component and does not protect against moisture related issues or efflorescence in concrete. For exterior projects, a proper vapor barrier and a coating system designed for your conditions are still necessary.

UV+FLAKE is designed for excellent long term color performance, with testing showing a color change of ΔE<2.0\Delta E < 2.0ΔE<2.0 after 1,000 hours in a Q Sun Xenon Arc test. When paired with a color stable, weather resistant topcoat, it helps floors maintain their appearance over time outdoors.

UV+FLAKE is ideal for exterior concrete surfaces such as patios, pool decks, walkways, driveways, and outdoor entertainment areas. It is meant to be used as part of a resin based coating system, not on bare concrete.

Coverage depends on broadcast density and flake size, but typical guidelines are about 3 to 7 square feet per pound for a full broadcast and 25 to 200 square feet per pound for heavy or light broadcast. Actual coverage may vary based on system build, application technique, and installer preference.

No, the colors shown in charts are representative and may vary due to monitor settings and printing limitations. For the most accurate color selection, physical samples should be used.

Store UV+FLAKE in an air tight poly bag inside its carton, in a dry environment at room temperature. Avoid moisture and humidity, which can damage the flakes or affect how they broadcast.

Yes, installers can mix solid colors or blend options to create custom looks, as long as all chosen flakes are compatible with the same coating system. For precise color control, it is best to test a small sample area before full installation.

No, UV+FLAKE flakes are random in shape and size, and each box will naturally contain some finer particles due to the manufacturing process. This randomness is what creates the organic, visually dynamic pattern on the floor.
