Polyaspartic vs. epoxy?

Polyaspartic Coatings

  • Temperature resistant – performs at -30° Fahrenheit to +140° Fahrenheit
  • Fast curing – five times faster than epoxy
  • UV-resistant – polyaspartics are non-yellowing and do not fade or peel with sun exposure
  • Stain-resistant – protective layer resists stains and is easy to clean
  • Deeply penetrating – “soaks into” concrete for longer service life
  • Durable – dries hard, but maintains some flexibility
  • Decorative – select color and chip options for a customized appearance
  • Low VOC and odor from out-gassing 

Epoxy Coatings

  • Sensitive to UV exposure – will fade or yellow
  • Slippery when wet – avoid use in areas subject to spills 
  • Long prep time before application – surfaces must be perfectly clean and dry
  • Long drying time – between coats and before use  
  • Gives off fumes when wet – use in a well-ventilated area or provide protection
  • Traps moisture below concrete surfaces – requires moisture seals to avoid damage
