If you live in Phoenix, you know how extreme heat can take a toll on everything—including your garage flooring. The relentless Arizona sun, combined with hot tires and daily wear, can cause many coatings to fail prematurely. That’s why choosing the right concrete floor coating is crucial. At GarageFloorCoating.com (Phoenix), we provide a solution that not only looks great but also stands up to the heat and heavy use.
What Is Hot-Tire Transfer?
Car tires contain plasticizers—typically phthalates or other softening agents—to keep the rubber flexible. When a vehicle moves or parks on a coated concrete surface, heat and friction can cause these compounds to migrate to the tire’s surface. Hot-tire transfer (aka, “plasticizer migration”) occurs when the plasticizers leach from the rubber surface into an inferior coating, causing permanent tire staining. Hot-tire transfer is especially likely in high-temperature locales like Phoenix.
GFC’s Superior Polyaspartic Flooring
GarageFloorCoating.com (Phoenix) uses a high-quality, 100%-solids polyaspartic as their top coat. If fact, we apply two clear top coats of our polyaspartic back-to-back (not just one). It’s a coating ith high cross-linking density that ensures resistance to UV fading, chemicals (like automotive fluids), impacts, and staining…including staining from hot-tire transfer.
It’s all part of our advanced concrete flooring system includes: a high-build, moisture-mitigating epoxy base (it’s a moisture vapor barrier), our full-flake broadcast, and dual, premium polyaspartic topcoats. Together, this 35-mil thick coating system is designed to withstand moisture-related issues, extreme heat, chemical exposure, and daily wear.
How We Compare to Competitors
Many competitors use lower-grade polyaspartic formulations (1:1 ratio, low cross-link density, <100%-solids). They simply lack the durability needed to resist hot-tire transfer effectively. Unlike these companies, GarageFloorCoating.com (Phoenix) warrants against all moisture-related issues AND hot-tire transfer, proving the reliability of our materials and installation process. With our superior 2-day system, you get a strong, long-lasting solution that protects against staining, peeling, and premature wear.
