Provides comprehensive temporary concrete slab protection from stains, scratches and construction damage lasting up to 9 Months on external slabs and 12 months on internal slabs. Composed of a two-part system, which includes a non-toxic base base coat and polyester matting, our concrete slabs protection is applied directly to concrete.
Flame-retardant, water-resistant, anti-microbial and UV stable, our temporary surface protection for concrete is world class.

A versatile protection system able to be used either loose laid or temporarily adhered using Skudo Base Coat
Reliable surface protection for heavy construction site traffic
Breathable system
Superior spill, stain and water resistance (proven against flooding)
Resistance to UV, rust, impact, and welding splatter
Class 1 Fire/Flame retardant according to ASTM E 648 and NFPA 253 standards.
Antibacterial/Antifungal: Test-verified protection against bacteria and molds that cause infection. (ISO-20743)
Safer working surface
High slip resistance in wet and dry conditions
Seamless and stationary
Cleans surface upon peel up removal
Uses & Limitations
Protects most surfaces, including freshly placed concrete as early as 14 days. *Note: This is subject to slab thickness, mix design, weather, etc. *Please contact your Honcho Rep to determine suitability (please note: Ensure the surface pH is below 11.0 and relative humidity (RH) is 80% or lower prior to placing protection over the slab. We recommend moisture testing with a moisture meter, such as a Wagner Meter).
Protects concrete and terrazzo
Areas can be polished and protected before interior walls are erected. Framing can be placed over the top of the Commercial System, which then can be left in place underneath
Under scaffolding & shoring
Flooring and staircases
Works as a blank canvas for all types of construction marks and layouts - wont stain or damage surface
Limitations:
Do not dilute.
Should not be applied to concrete exposed to excessive moisture.
Skudo must be kept dry for 24 hours after installation.
Do not apply if the temperature of the concrete or air temperature is below 40 F (4 C).
If installing over sealed, guarded or protected concrete or terrazzo, it is critical sealer is fully cured. Dry to the touch is not sufficient. Always consult a Skudo Representative for compatibility.
When installing loose lay (dry lay), avoid excessive taping on the overlap of the matting, to assist with minimising the possibility of hydration marks*. For polished concrete we also recommend laying geo fabric under the Skudo HT Commercial mat.
If the Commercial System (application of mat & base coat) is exposed to excessive standing water, extremely heavy rainfall or drainage runoff, water can soften the mat, breaking the bond between the protected substrate and
Skudo Base Coat. If this occurs, normal light traffic may damage the Mat. Drain or squeegee water off the affected area and attempt to keep traffic off the mat until it has dried. Once dried, the mat will return to its original strength and in most cases will re-adhere to the substrate.
*Please make sure to speak with your Honcho representative prior to product selection, as some substrates, such as, but not limited to concrete, terrazzo, and stone, may not be suitable in certain circumstances.
