What are Polyaspartic Coatings?
Polyurea is a subset of polyurethane, known for its rapid curing properties and flexibility. When mixed, polyurea quickly catalyzes to form a hard, durable surface. Polyaspartic, on the other hand, is a type of polyurea with a slower curing rate, allowing for a more controlled application process. Essentially, all polyaspartics are polyureas, but not all polyureas are polyaspartics.
Benefits of Polyaspartic Coatings
One of the most significant advantages of polyaspartic coatings is their versatility in temperature and time. Unlike epoxy, they can be applied in a wide range of temperatures, from as low as -30°F to as high as 140°F, making them suitable for use in various climates. Additionally, these coatings boast a rapid curing time, with some systems allowing for a one-day application and return-to-use the following day, eliminating the long waiting periods associated with epoxy coatings.
Other Benefits Include:
- UV stability: Say goodbye to yellowing with a crystal-clear, UV-stable finish.
- Moisture repellence: Enjoy a glossy finish that repels moisture, keeping your garage floor looking pristine.
- High abrasion and scratch resistance: Protect your floor from everyday wear and tear.
- Chemical resistance: Guard against stains and spills with a resilient coating.
- Heat tolerance: Hot-tire pickup is not an issue with polyurea polyaspartic coatings.
- Flexible and impact-resistant: Withstand impacts and maintain durability over time.
- Strong bond: Penetrate into the concrete for a secure, long-lasting finish.
