Epoxy vs. Polyurea

Impact Resistance

Impact resistance greatly affects the long term adhesion as well as the wear and tear of your floor coating.

Stretch & Flex

Flexibility allows your concrete coating to bounce back and not chip or peel when impacted on.

Stains & Spills

Spills happen, and with FloorTek's pure polyaspartic all you need for an easy cleanup is a towel and general purpose cleaner.

UV Stability

Epoxy will yellow over time, and while polyaspartic is better, FloorTek's polyaspartic is especially designed to withstand exposure to UV light.

Epoxy vs Polyaspartic Impact Resistance Test

Impact resistance greatly affects the long term adhesion as well as the wear and tear of your floor coating.

While epoxy is inexpensive and is widely available, its impact resistance is quite low. If you are looking for high impact resistance for your floor coating – we recommend FloorTek’s polyaspartic coatings which is designed with high impact resistance.

Epoxy vs Polyaspartic Stretch & Flexibility Test

When installing concrete coating it is really important to make sure the coating is flexible and is able to shift and move along with the surface.

For most residential installations we are dealing with floating slabs of concrete which are designed to flex and move with the shifting Earth. It’s important that any coating that we’re installing is able to shift and move along with this substrate for a long term coating solution.

Stains & Chemical Resistance

While floors may look the same day one, it’s important to pick a floor coating that will withstand the test of time.

FloorTek’s polyaspartic is chemically resistant, making even the toughest spills easy to clean with just a towel and general purpose cleaner.

UV Stability Test

UV light will make a common polyaspartic and epoxy yellow or amber over time.

FloorTek’s products are designed and formulated to withstand the harshest of weather conditions. From pool decks to patios, driveways to garages – we want to make sure that our coating is going to fit the needs that you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the main difference between epoxy and polyaspartic coatings?

Epoxy is budget-friendly but brittle, while polyaspartic is more durable, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear.Answer

How long does polyaspartic flooring last compared to epoxy?

Polyaspartic can last 15–20 years with proper care, while epoxy often needs replacement within 5–10 years.

Can polyaspartic coatings withstand heavy impacts?

Yes! Polyaspartic is designed to absorb impact, making it ideal for garages, warehouses, and high-traffic areas.

Will polyaspartic coatings turn yellow like epoxy?

No. Penntek’s advanced polyaspartic formula is UV-stable, so it won’t yellow or fade over time.

How long does it take to install polyaspartic vs. epoxy?

Polyaspartic cures in 24 hours, while epoxy requires 3–5 days before it’s ready for use.

Can polyaspartic coatings be applied in cold or hot weather?

Yes! Unlike epoxy, which struggles in extreme temperatures, polyaspartic can be applied in both hot and cold conditions.

Are polyaspartic coatings slippery?

No! They have a textured, slip-resistant surface that makes them safer than standard epoxy coatings.

How do I clean and maintain my polyaspartic floor?

Just use a mop, towel, and general-purpose cleaner—no harsh chemicals needed.

Is polyaspartic safe for pets and kids?

Absolutely! It’s low-VOC, non-toxic, and safe for indoor and outdoor spaces.

Can I install polyaspartic over existing epoxy?

Yes! Polyaspartic can be applied over old epoxy, but surface preparation is required for best results.
