Epoxy Floor Vs Polyurethane Floor

1
Epoxy Floors VS. Polyurethane floors
2
Epoxy Floors are usually harder than Polyurethanes

• They have High Compressive and Impact Strength
• It is best suited for heavy duty facilities

3
Epoxies are mostly preferred in

• Warehouses
• Heavy Industry
• Logistics Centres
• Facilities with Heavy Traffic

4
Polyurethane floorings are generally softer and
elastic than epoxy floorings

• That is why they are more resistant to scratches.
• Also, they provide better resistance to very low
  freezing temperature.

5
Polyurethane floors are preferred

• In spaces with foot traffic
• In multi desk car-parks since the elastic layer
  can act as waterproofing layer.
• In freezing chambers where temperatures can reach
  -30 C.

6
Chemical Resistance

• Polyurethane acts better with lactic acid, thats
  why it is preferred in dairy production.
• Epoxies are preferred in industries with
  sulphuric acids.

7
Application Differences

• Polyurethane floors are more sensitive to
  moisture. Moisture can damage the polyurethane
  flooring.
• Epoxy flooring are also sensitive to moisture,
  but the damage due to humidity will be only
  limited to some discoloration or blushing.
• In humid environment, epoxy is much better choice
  than polyurethane flooring.

8

• Polyurethane floors can be easily modified to
  extend or limit their pot life, re-coat time as
  well as the total curing time. This flexibility
  allows to complete PU floors much quicker and to
  complete the floor in a much shorter period of
  time.
• In terms of flexibility, epoxy floors require
  7days to fully cure. Because of humidity and
  limited pot life, polyurethanes require very well
  trained and experienced staff.
