Polyurea/Polyaspartic Coatings from Floor Shield are Superior to Epoxy Coatings

garage floor tireThe protection of concrete floors has been a developing science for a long time. Epoxy coatings have been around for some time and have been popular protectors of concrete floors. Fairly new to the game, polyurea / polyaspartic coatings have quickly become the premium choice in the floor coating industry because of the fast dry time and same day service.

Polyaspartic Coatings for FL Panhandle Home and Business Floor Surfaces

When applied to grey concrete floors, polyaspartic flooring coatings produce a shiny, practically watery tone that customers can color. In some applications, ornamental chips are broadcast on the still-wet topcoat.  The nature of polyaspartic coatings gives it incredible properties for your home or business floors in the Gulf Shores of Florida.

Benefits of Polyaspartic Coatings:

  • Difficult, smooth finish that is stain and scratch-resistant, good for FL garages and high-traffic commercial and industrial locations
  • Clear and non-sticky when dry
  • Quick drying times, remedies to complete strength in 1/2 to 1 hour - same day service
  • Colors and chips readily available
  • Colorfast, even when used to somewhat damp concrete
  • UV Stable- resists fading and yellowing
  • Low VOCs and odor
  • Low viscosity offers it good wetting ability on concrete, but requires minimized portion of solids
  • High, controllable movie build-up
  • Less most likely to bubble from outgassing
