Frequently Asked Questions
What is polyaspartic coating and how is it different from epoxy?
Polyaspartic is an advanced aliphatic polyurea coating that cures extremely fast and offers superior UV resistance compared to epoxy. While epoxy can yellow under UV exposure, polyaspartic maintains crystal clarity and color stability for decades, making it the premium choice for topcoats.
How fast does polyaspartic cure compared to epoxy?
Polyaspartic cures dramatically faster - typically ready for foot traffic in 2-4 hours and full service in 24 hours, versus epoxy which takes 3-7 days. This fast cure allows for same-day installation and return to service, minimizing downtime.
Can polyaspartic be applied over existing epoxy floors?
Yes, polyaspartic makes an excellent topcoat over existing epoxy systems. The surface must be properly cleaned and lightly abraded for adhesion. This is often the most cost-effective way to upgrade UV protection and durability of older epoxy floors.
Is polyaspartic more expensive than traditional epoxy?
Polyaspartic has higher material costs but often similar total project costs due to faster installation and reduced labor time. When considering the longer lifespan, UV stability, and reduced maintenance needs, it provides superior long-term value.
How durable is polyaspartic coating?
Polyaspartic offers exceptional durability with superior abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and flexibility. It maintains its properties in temperature extremes from -40°F to 200°F and typically lasts 2-3 times longer than standard epoxy coatings.
Can polyaspartic be used in outdoor applications?
Absolutely. Polyaspartic's UV resistance makes it ideal for outdoor applications like patios, pool decks, and walkways where epoxy would fail. It won't yellow, chalk, or degrade under constant sun exposure, maintaining its appearance and performance for years.
