What Is Polyaspartic Coating?
Durable and Long-Lasting:
Polyaspartic coatings are designed to withstand heavy use and harsh conditions, offering long-term protection.
Fast Curing:
They cure quickly, allowing for faster installation and reduced downtime.
UV Resistant:
Polyaspartic coatings are formulated to resist fading and discoloration caused by UV exposure, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
Chemical Resistant:
They are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including oil, gasoline, and other solvents, making them ideal for garages and industrial settings.
Easy to Maintain:
Polyaspartic coatings are easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal upkeep.
Versatile Applications:
They can be used in a variety of applications, including floor coatings, countertops, and even as a protective layer for other surfaces.
Most Commonly Applied to:
Garage floors:
Polyaspartic coatings are a popular choice for garage floors due to their durability, resistance to chemicals, and ability to withstand heavy traffic.
Commercial spaces:
They are used in warehouses, showrooms, and other commercial spaces where durability and resistance to wear and tear are important.
Outdoor applications:
Polyaspartic coatings are suitable for patios, balconies, and other outdoor areas where they can withstand weather conditions and UV exposure.
Comparison with Epoxy:
Polyaspartic coatings are often compared to epoxy coatings, and they offer several advantages, including faster curing times, better UV resistance, and higher chemical resistance.
Epoxy coatings, while durable, can be more brittle and prone to cracking, while polyaspartic coatings are more flexible and resilient.
How Do These Systems Work?
Surface preparation:
This initial step involves cleaning, repairing, and profiling the concrete surface to ensure proper adhesion of the subsequent layers.
Moisture Vapor Barrier
(Project Specific): A MVB primer is applied to the prepared concrete surface to improve adhesion, fill pores, and create a strong bond between the concrete and the coating system. Especially with higher presence of moisture.
Base coat:
The base coat is the primary layer of the system, consisting of materials such as epoxy, polyurethane, or polyaspartic. This coat provides the main protective and functional properties, including durability, chemical resistance, and wear resistance.
Decorative elements:
Include decorative elements, such as flakes/chips to enhance the aesthetics and add texture for slip resistance.
Topcoat:
The final layer is a topcoat or sealer, which further enhances the system’s properties, providing UV resistance, additional chemical resistance, and a specific finish, such as gloss or matte.
