Problem
Hot Tire Pickup on Epoxy Floors
A warm tire is a solvent-plus-pressure combination. Coatings that survive it were engineered for it from the start.
What Causes It
Tire plasticizers soften weakly bonded coatings; pressure and shear lift the film on the next drive.
Prevention Levers
Mechanical prep, adequate film build, full cure before parking, and a topcoat suited to vehicular traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does polyaspartic prevent hot tire pickup?
It helps because it cures faster and forms a hard film that resists tire plasticizer migration.
Can I prevent it with mats?
Tire mats reduce risk but do not fix an under-prepared coating.
