Epoxy vs PU: Which is Best for Your Factory?

When it comes to factory flooring, Epoxy and Polyurethane (PU) are the two most commonly used systems. But choosing the right one depends not just on price — it depends on your factory’s real conditions.

Let’s help you compare both clearly:

  • Dry assembly lines, general warehouses, electronics zones

  • Budget-conscious factory owners
