Material Consistancy After Drying
(1) All of the materials except our epoxy dried from the bottom up making them pourous (pin holes) due to drying and hydrating outward. All of our products were developed to dry from the top downward, showing no sign of hydration. Plus if you take any other material and pour it about 2 inches thic, let it dry, and cut it in half, it will have air holes throughout the entire product. UltraGuard products can be poured 1 Foot thick and cut in half, and no pinholes or air pockets will be showing.

Material Being Sprayed
(2) After testing materials for aeration we found that any material being sprayed causes air to form in the product making it pourous. (There is no material that is sprayed that will dry and become non pourous)

Material Testing and Bonding
(3) A lot of the products on the market that we found were never tested or certified by a qualified company. Additionally, most of the material such as polyester and vinyl esters that we tested would not bond to concrete or steel. When applied to epoxy surfaces these materials will peel off like tape after drying. Our epoxy will bond to any material that does not containg a waxing agent.

Material Additives
(4) Many materials contain the wrong additives (flex, strength, bonding enhancers) or none at all. All our materials contain these additives in addition to key additives such as flaked titanium. To our knowledge, we have the only coatings with these pricy key additives. Other companies will not go to the expense to add these elements.
