EPOXY VS POLYUREA TESTED

  • Epoxy vs Polyurea Tested

WHY POLYUREA IS SUPERIOR TO EPOXY

IMPACT RESISTANCE

Impact resistance greatly affects the long term adhesion as well as the wear and tear of your floor coating.

STRETCH & FLEX

Flexibility allows your concrete coating to bounce back and not chip or peel when impacted on.

STAINS & SPILLS

Spills happen, and with Penntek's pure polyurea all you need for an easy cleanup is a towel and general purpose cleaner.

UV STABILITY

Epoxy will yellow over time, and while polyurea is better, Penntek's polyurea is especially designed to withstand exposure to UV light.

EPOXY VS POLYUREA IMPACT RESISTANCE TEST

Impact resistance greatly affects the long term adhesion as well as the wear and tear of your floor coating.

While epoxy is inexpensive and is widely available, its impact resistance is quite low. If you are looking for high impact resistance for your floor coating – we recommend Penntek’s polyaspartic polyurea coatings which is designed with high impact resistance.

EPOXY VS POLYUREA STRETCH & FLEXIBILITY TEST

When installing concrete coating it is really important to make sure the coating is flexible and is able to shift and move along with the surface.

For most residential installations we are dealing with floating slabs of concrete which are designed to flex and move with the shifting Earth. It’s important that any coating that we’re installing is able to shift and move along with this substrate for a long term coating solution.

STAINS & CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

While floors may look the same day one, it’s important to pick a floor coating that will withstand the test of time.

Penntek’s polyurea is chemically resistant, making even the toughest spills easy to clean with just a towel and general purpose cleaner

UV STABILITY TEST

Play Video UV light will make a common polyurea and epoxy yellow or amber over time.

Penntek products are designed and formulated to withstand the harshest of weather conditions. From pool decks to patios, driveways to garages – we want to make sure that our coating is going to fit the needs that you may have.
