About epoxy and polyurethane floors

Industrial resin floors (epoxy, polyurethane) are modern monolithic coatings that consist of two main components - resin and hardener. High availability, a large selection of compositions, optimal price-quality ratio and high quality of the finished coating - allows you to use epoxy floors for any objects. Compared to concrete, epoxy floors are more expensive, but during operation, epoxy floors do not require additional costs (repair is necessary). An especially advantageous solution is epoxy and polyurethane coatings for buildings with strong mechanical loads on the floor.

Epoxy and polyurethane compounds are the most commonly used polymer compounds for industrial floors. The question often arises, are there any differences between these coatings or are they completely interchangeable?

Indeed, there is a lot in common between epoxy and polyurethane coatings. Both contain a mixture of resin and hardener. Both form a surface resistant to various impacts. Both in one and in another coating, you can add a dye to obtain the desired color. However, there are quite significant differences, they are especially noticeable under extreme loads and during long-term operation. The polyurethane floor is more flexible. In practice, this means resistance to shock loads and stretching (such as the fall of large metal structures). On the other hand, the service life of a polyurethane floor is shorter compared to an epoxy floor. These are the two main differences that you should pay attention to when making a decision.

Epoxy floors, despite their lower resistance to strong impacts, are often chosen for warehouses and logistics centers with heavy traffic. Polyurethane coating is best suited where there is a risk of scratches or deformations. For example, in a multi-level parking lot, the polyurethane coating will tighten the cracking concrete floors. The use of polyurethane coating is recommended in rooms where the temperature drops significantly below zero Celsius, for example, in cold rooms. Epoxy resin does not withstand severe frosts without the addition of a plasticizer.

Both types of coatings are chemically resistant. However, epoxy and polyurethane resins behave differently when exposed to certain chemicals. For example, a polyurethane floor is more resistant to lactic acid, therefore, it is recommended to use polyurethane floors in enterprises producing dairy products. The epoxy floor turns yellow and cracks under constant exposure to lactic acid, while in the case of more aggressive sulfuric acid, epoxy floors are more resistant than polyurethane.

In terms of application, there are also significant differences between polyurethane floors and epoxy floors. The main one is ease of maintenance. Polyurethane resins require much more experience, and the risk of errors is higher when working with them. While working with epoxy floor does not require special training, the main thing is to follow the recommendations exactly.

When filling the floor in an industrial enterprise, you should carefully consider the choice of coating. Based on the specifics of production and the type of the object itself. For example, in a residential area it is better to use an epoxy floor.
