Polyaspartic

Reaction Speed The advantage of a fast cure can become a detriment if the material sets before application is complete.

Polyaspartic. Concrete floors on their own arent the most attractive ones in the world. All FLEXMAR NextGen polyaspartic coatings are 0 VOC exceeding compliance requirements in the US. Polyaspartic chemistry was first introduced in the early 1990s making it a relatively new technology.

In busy industrial settings having a durable floor is essential. Polyurea as a commercially viable material was developed in the 1980s by Texaco Chemical Company now Huntsman Chemical. Pure polyurea reacts extremely quickly making them almost unusable without plural component spray equipment.

As with any coating system there are pros and cons. Coating market and is gaining momentum across world. The quick curing characteristic of a polyaspartic allows for 1-2 day installations that can be applied in colder or hotter temperatures.

Polyaspartic technology utilizes a partially blocked amine. However it may be that there is not enough time within the shutdown periods to have a resin floor installed with longer cure time. In fact our Polyaspartic floor coatings offer the highest strength in the industry.

Polyaspartic floor coatings offer better abrasion- chemical- and UV-resistance compared to polyurethane coatings. Often these concrete floor coating systems provide for next-day return to service. This coating gives the best gloss and color retention along with high-performance protection.

Our high-solids NextGen coatings have virtually no odor. However this coating type requires experienced applicators due to application time of 10 30 minutes and is more expensive than epoxies and polyurethanes. The coating is usually occur as a 2-part system and is derived by mixing resin with a catalyst in order to initiate a curing reaction that.
