How to Seal Mechanical Floors With TIGERSKIN™
Sealing mechanical floors requires more than just durability—it demands a surface that can resist chemicals, impact, and daily wear.Tigerskin™ offers a reliable solution designed for heavy-duty environments like mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and utility spaces.
Why Mechanical Floors Need Protection
Mechanical areas are subject to constant stress from equipment vibrations, fluid leaks, and temperature changes. Unsealed concrete can crack, stain, and absorb chemicals, leading to costly repairs. A proper sealant like Tigerskin™ creates a protective barrier that extends the life of your floor.
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying TigerSkin™
- Prep the Surface
Clean the floor thoroughly, removing grease, dust, and any loose material. For best adhesion, use mechanical abrasion such as shot blasting or diamond grinding. - Repair Any Damage
Patch cracks or holes with a compatible repair mortar. Let it cure before applying the coating. - Prime (If Needed)
While Tigerskin™ is self-priming in many cases, extremely porous floors may benefit from a primer layer to ensure even coverage. - Mix the Product
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix Tigerskin™ thoroughly. It’s a 100% solids epoxy, so timing and consistency matter. - Apply the Coating
Use a roller or squeegee to apply an even layer across the floor. Focus on uniform thickness, especially around drains and high-traffic areas. - Allow to Cure
Let TigerSkin™ cure according to the guidelines. Mechanical rooms can typically be back in service within 24–48 hours.
Built to Last, Ready for Action
Tigerskin™ doesn’t just protect—it transforms. With its chemical resistance and industrial-grade toughness, it’s a smart investment for any mechanical floor that faces heavy use. When performance matters, seal it right the first time.
