Uses and Advantages of Polyaspartic Coatings

Numerous benefits come with polyaspartic coatings, such as their high level of durability, rapid cure time, return to service, and UV stability. Additionally, in severe conditions, they can withstand chemical resistance and abrasion. Even though concrete machines and floors might be extremely durable, they will eventually deteriorate if improper sealing is not done. A Polyaspartic coating can offer you highly robust, long-lasting protection whether you’re in a grimy garage or a warm, busy business location.

What about Polyaspartic coatings make it a great option? 

With a 2900 psi tensile strength and being 2-5 times stronger than epoxy, polyaspartic coatings safeguard the paint underneath.  Although at a higher level, polyaspartics operate similarly to a polyurethane coat. Furthermore, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content is low to none, which makes the cure period much quicker.

This is a well-liked option for because of its adaptability, protecting strength, and chemical resistance. Oil, grease, and gas are very well-resisted by garage floors. ArmorPoxy has a variety of polyaspartics for your project needs. 

Industrial uses: These can be found in warehouse floors, garages, factories, automotive shops, airplane hangars, and more commercial type environments. 

In high-traffic locations, ideal for concrete. For any restaurant, shop, mall, or hotel, traffic is the most crucial factor. The last thing you need is a floor that cannot support traffic. An exceptionally robust and abrasion-resistant protective coating made of polyaspartic material is ArmorPoxy’s Polyaspartics. In heavily trafficked commercial locations, it is perfect for coloured concrete and concrete overlays. Its clarity and luster make it useful for restoring faded colors as well.

A minimal amount of downtime

Very little volatile organic compounds, if any, are present (VOCs). To put it another way, less downtime and less time is needed for the cure. It just takes a few hours for both your clients and employees to be back in your office.

Among the advantages of polyaspartic coatings are:

  • Can handle extreme temperatures 
  • It is UV stable, thus exposure to sunshine won’t cause it to break down or yellow
  • Resistance to stains, scratches, and industrial chemicals (resists oil, salt, fat, and mild acid)
  • Concrete adhesion at 500+ psi with geat adhesion (measurement for adhesion strength).
  • If it comes into contact with moisture, it won’t change color or blush.
  • Good weather resistance
  • Concrete will create a solid link.
  • Flexibility (various curing chemicals may be employed to give varied effects) (different curing agents may be used to produce different results).

Epoxy and polyurethane have historically been common options for situations that require abrasion-resistant concrete coverings. But in these conditions, polyaspartic coatings can be a superior option depending on the use case of time, budget, and project type.

Additionally, they are harder, more malleable, less likely to turn yellow from sunshine, and scratch-resistant. They are stronger, less likely to crack, won’t peel, and take less time to cure. Because polyaspartics are 100% solids, they either have very low or no VOC content. As a result, they are more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
