Our 6 Step Polyaspartic Installation Process

From Design to Durability: The OtterTek 6 Step Process

Step 1: The Site Audit & Design Selection

Data-Driven Mapping: We walk the floor with you to map every crack and pit.

Moisture Testing: We use Tramex CME5 meters to ensure the chemistry matches your concrete’s hydration.

On-Site Design: We bring chip and texture samples directly to you for immediate selection.

Step 2: Industrial Diamond Prep

Diamond Grinding: We use 220V planetary grinders to open concrete pores, creating a “Forever Bond” 4x stronger than standard epoxy.

HEPA-Clean Standard: Industrial extractors capture 99.9% of dust to keep your space pristine.

Precision Tooling: Hand-grinding ensures edges and corners receive the same industrial-grade preparation as the main floor.

Step 3: Structural Repair & Mending

Industrial Mending: We use high-speed polyurea to fill cracks, pits, and salt-air damage identified in our audit.

Flush Grinding: All repairs are ground perfectly smooth to create a seamless, glass-like foundation.

Joint Stability: We treat expansion joints to accommodate natural slab shifting without cracking the finish.

Step 4: Moisture-Block Base Coat

Deep Penetration: Our tinted base coat acts as “roots,” locking permanently into the diamond-ground concrete.

Environmental Shield: Specifically engineered for coastal humidity, it creates an impenetrable barrier against hydrostatic pressure.

Hot-Tire Defense: Built to withstand high heat so performance tires won’t peel or “pick up” the finish.

Step 5: The Full-Flake Broadcast

100% Saturation: We broadcast vinyl flakes “to refusal,” ensuring zero thin spots and a consistent, high-end look.

Impact Armor: This layer creates a structural “skeleton” that acts as a shock absorber against dropped tools and heavy machinery.

Natural Traction: The flake profile provides a safe, slip-resistant texture superior to smooth concrete.

Step 6: The "Shield" Polyaspartic Top-Coat

UV-Stable Protection: Our thick, high-solids clear coat acts as industrial armor that won’t yellow, chalk, or fade in the sun.

Rapid Return: Designed for speed—ready for foot traffic in 6 hours and vehicles in 24 hours.

Custom Grip: We can integrate polymer grit or aluminum oxide for enhanced slip-resistance in wet areas.

Lastly, enjoy your new floor!
