UV Trace Light

UV Trace Light – Verify Your Bonding in Seconds

Make the invisible visible before you spray a single coat.

Power Bond is a clear, silane-based wipe-on primer that creates a covalent bond to porcelain, ceramic tile, fiberglass, cultured marble, and composites. Its only challenge? You can’t see it with the naked eye.

The UV Trace Light activates the UV-reactive tracer built into Power Bond, giving you instant visual confirmation of full, even coverage on every surface you prep.

Ideal for bathtub, tile, and countertop refinishing professionals using SharkGrip Power Bond or other UV-trace silane systems.

Why This Light Is Critical

• Reveals the “coverage map.”
  Under UV, every properly treated area fluoresces, confirming that the coupling agent has contacted the substrate.
• Instantly shows missed spots.
  Any dull or non-glowing area has not been primed, allowing you to correct it before applying epoxy or urethane topcoats.
• Ensures full covalent bonding.
  Silane technology only works where it touches the surface. The UV Trace Light helps guarantee complete chemical contact, especially on complex shapes, corners, and edges.
• Reduces callbacks and failures.
  Prevent peeling, lifting, and edge failures caused by tiny un-primed sections—critical for hotel, multifamily, and high-warranty jobs.
• Professional proof of prep.
  Use it as a quick QA step before spraying to document that the surface was fully treated with Power Bond or any UV-trace silane primer.

Perfect Match for Power Bond

This UV Trace Light is specifically selected to excite the trace element inside SharkGrip’s Power Bond wipe-on primer. Together, they create a dual-action silane system that not only bonds at the molecular level, but also gives you a visual confirmation step no standard wipe-on primer can match.
