TruAlloy™ – High-Performance Aluminum Metallic Garage Floor Coating

Proven Technology

TruAlloy for Garage Floors is not a new technology. It has been time-proven on the floors of industrial buildings, exterior applications, and countless garage and commercial projects. TruAlloy is a one-part moisture-cured urethane that is over 50% solids by volume. The clear coat is over 60% solids by volume. It comes in one can. You open it, mix it for three minutes, and apply it to a clean surface. This is not fairy dust or a pipe dream; the product’s phenomenal results were achieved after years of refinement, years of extensive scientific testing, and even more years of successful application on top of successful application.

Primer?

We suggest two coats of TruAlloy Aluminum. The first is applied as a primer and the second as your color coat.

Three Basic System Options

System 1: One coat of TruAlloy aluminum and one coat of clear will provide adequate protection for light use and allow you to broadcast flake. It is not a true decorative concrete coating in that the first coat can absorb at varying rates, causing inconsistencies in the finish. It also has a higher likelihood of roller marks. Certainly not our first choice, but it does a good job of protecting the concrete.

System 2: System two is two coats of the AWF-100 Aluminum with no flake and no clear. The advantage of this system is it is inexpensive and can be installed almost any time of year. System two does not have the abrasion resistance offered by system 3.

System 3: System three is our first choice for a decorative concrete TruAlloy application. It can be done with or without flake and has outstanding color consistency and abrasion resistance. All of our kits are built around system 3.

Forget the Hard Stuff & Forget the Guess Work

No need for exact measurements of Part A and Part B because it’s only one part. Installation Temperature? 50 Degrees F to over 100 Degrees F for the color material. Clear requires temperatures over 50. Pot life? How about a couple of hours. Open the can, mix it for three minutes, pour out what you can use, and tap the lid back on. See further explanation under working time.

Wiggle Room

Our calculator and kits are based on the worst-case scenario. Small adjustments to total square footage are acceptable so long as you fall within the recommended spread rate.

400 Degrees

Hot tire lifting? Water boils at 212 degrees F. Temperatures over 140 degrees can cause third-degree burns. TruAlloy has proven itself in continuous temperatures up to 400 Degrees F. Point blank, TruAlloy puts hot tire lifting on ice. Your tires simply can’t get hot enough.

Working Time & Pot Life

The phrase unlimited pot life has become common in this industry. We even use it with some products. This product is moisture-cured. That means that when the product is exposed to the air, it starts to cure. When poured out of the can, you can expect it to begin thickening in one to two hours. The good news is you can seal the can back up and take as long as you need for each coat. It is generally not possible to store a can once open.

Thicker is Better

Coatings companies love to give great coverage rates that make their product seem less expensive and keeps you coming back for more. We prefer to give you the amount of product you need the first time so your floor comes out perfectly.
