What is Polyaspartic floor coating?

Answer: Simply put, Polyaspartic floor coatings are a polymer coating material that have been proved to be successful for garages.

 

Polyaspartic floor coating is a newly popular flooring for garages. The flooring type is creating quite the wave for a number of reasons: it can be applied at nearly any temperature, it bonds extremely well, cures quickly to its full strength, is flexible, and has superior stain and UV resistance. While some people may believe this flooring is too good to be true, it is truly a great flooring – as long as it is applied properly.

To achieve a successful polyaspartic flooring, the floor must be properly prepped with a low moisture vapor emission rate and there must be a proper solids content in the coating to allow it to develop a proper bond. When these guidelines are followed properly, a polyaspartic floor can be applied successfully in just one day.

What is a Polyaspartic?

A Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea – a commercially viable material that was developed in the 1980s. The material is created by mixing a resin with a catalyst which creates a curing reaction that hardens it. Simply put, a Polyaspartic is a polymer coating material.
