Epoxy is the old way. POLYASPARTIC is the better way, more durable, lasts longer.
Epoxy used to be all that concrete coating companies had. They understood that it was far from being a perfect product, but it was the best they had at the time.
Why POLYASPARTIC is the far superior product compared to epoxy...
UV Resistance & Color Stability: Epoxy is not UV-stable and will yellow, amber, or fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight. Polyaspartic coatings are 100% UV-stable, meaning they retain their original color and clarity even in direct sunlight.
Flexibility vs. Brittleness: Once dry, standard epoxy becomes rigid and can crack or peel under heavy impact or when the underlying concrete naturally expands and contracts with Florida's temperature shifts. Polyaspartic coatings are roughly 98-100% more flexible, allowing them to move with the concrete to resist cracking.
Curing and Downtime: Epoxy cures slowly, taking 3 to 7 days before you can park vehicles on it. Polyaspartic coatings cure rapidly, meaning installations can often be completed in a single day and walked on within hours.
Hot Tire Pickup: The heat from warm car tires can soften cured epoxy floors, causing the coating to lift and peel (known as "hot tire pickup"). Polyaspartic coatings have higher heat tolerance and bond strength, practically eliminating hot tire issues.
Scratch and Abrasion Resistance: Epoxy is prone to scratching and wear-and-tear in high-traffic or workshop areas. Polyaspartic is 4 to 5 times more abrasion-resistant than epoxy, making it ideal for high-impact use.
