Understand the key differences and benefits of epoxy and polyurethane coatings for your facility.
Epoxy flooring is a coating made from epoxy resin and hardener that creates a smooth, durable surface over concrete. It’s ideal for high-traffic, heavy-duty environments like warehouses, production areas, and garages.
Polyurethane (PU) flooring is a thermosetting polymer coating known for its flexibility and chemical resistance. It performs well in areas exposed to thermal shock, spills, or fluctuating conditions.
| Feature | Epoxy Flooring | Polyurethane Flooring |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | High | High but more flexible |
| Chemical Resistance | Moderate | Excellent |
| Temperature Resistance | Good | Excellent |
| UV Stability | Can yellow | UV resistant |
| Flexibility | Rigid | Slightly elastic |
| Installation Time | Slightly longer | Faster curing |
| Cost | Generally lower | Slightly higher |
Choose Epoxy if your priority is heavy mechanical use, ESD control, and long-term cost efficiency.
Choose Polyurethane if your facility involves temperature extremes, wet processes, or chemical-heavy workflows.
Some facilities even use a hybrid system—epoxy as a base layer for strength, topped with polyurethane for added protection.
