A Guide to Polyaspartic Floor Coating

What is it? 

The word polyaspartic describes a kind of polyurea, a family of coatings often used in truck beds and pipe interiors. In industrial settings, polyaspartic floor coating is applied to concrete and metal to make them slip-resistant and protect them from extreme temperatures. 

How is it applied? 

Polyaspartic floor coating is applied with squeegees, rollers, and seal-coat brooms. The surfaces they’re being applied to must be prepared beforehand. This requires vacuuming the space and  wiping it down with a specialized solvent to help floors bond with the polyaspartic floor coating. 

Where is it used?

The ideal use for polyaspartic coating is as flooring for high-traffic areas like garages, factories, storage facilities, and hospitals. These and any  environment with resinous concrete flooring that needs protection from heavy-duty wear and tear would benefit from polyaspartic coating. 

Why use polyaspartic floor coating? 

There are many benefits to this type of floor coating. It can be applied year-round in temperatures as high as 140F or as low as -30F. They also cure fast. An entire floor system can be installed in one day and be ready for walking on the next day. You don’t have to worry about moisture affecting your surfaces either because of the coating’s sealed finish. Other benefits include stain resistance, chemical resistance, and decreased chance of bubbling during curing.
