Garage flooring will suffer extensive wear and tear after a while. Everything from falling tools, salt from your cars in winter, to fluids leaking from your vehicle will damage these floors and shorten their lifespan. That’s why you should consider installing a polyurea and polyaspartic floor coating. These floor coatings are becoming more popular to use in garages and come with numerous benefits. Here’s some further information about these floor coating:

Defining Polyurea and Polyaspartic Floor Coating

As a subgroup of polyurethane, polyurea comes together as isocyanates combine with water to make a urea linkage. Polyurea floor coating combines with resin as a catalyst to be able to cure and make the material hard and durable. While polyurea is similar to epoxy, it cures faster, is stronger, more flexible, and withstands UV light better.

Polyaspartic is a kind of polyurea that forms from a reaction of an aliphatic polyisocyanate with a polyaspartic ester. Polyaspartics reduce the difficulties that are caused by the quick cure rate of polyurea and have a pot life of 5 to 20 minutes.

Benefits of Polyurea and Polyaspartic Floor Coating

One of the main advantages of polyurea and polyaspartic floor coating is that you can apply it at any temperature. Whether it’s below freezing or scorching hot, you can apply the coating to your garage floor or any concrete surface without issues. Another bonus is that the coating’s fast cure rate makes it possible to apply it in one day.
