Epoxy Floor Coatings and Polyurethane Coatings: New Expert Advice!

SEATTLE - May 29, 2013 - PRLog -- While epoxy coatings and polyurethane coatings are sometimes talked about interchangeably in online discussion forums, they are two different types of floor coatings with distinctly different properties. Two new webpages have been published that help to clear the air about the differences between these two floor coatings, and provide expert advice on selecting the best floor coatings.

If you are a commercial business or manufacturer looking for a protective coating for your shop floor, you may be considering whether to use an epoxy floor coating or a polyurethane coating. Ultimately, the type of coating you select will depend on several environmental factors, including chemical exposure and required durability.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that epoxy floor coatings and polyurethane floor coatings, while having similar applications, are two different types of coatings with different chemical makeups. For example, epoxy floor coatings offer greater chemical resistance, while polyurethane coatings tend to offer a higher resistance to ultraviolet light.

Construction Systems Supply (CSS) is a company that specializes in the application of epoxy coatings and has recently released two new webpages to assist manufacturers and commercial businesses in understanding the differences between epoxy and polyurethane floor coatings.

The first webpage is all about epoxy floor coatings and polyurethane floor coatings (http://www.csscorp.net/resources/epoxy-floor-coatings-pol...) and it provides insight on the different bonding characteristics of each type of floor coating, as well as the differences between one-step epoxy paint products versus two-part epoxy coatings.

In addition, contractors who are seeking information on how to select the best epoxy coating for their industrial application will find further tips on this webpage (http://www.csscorp.net/resources/best-epoxy-coating/), which describes the three major factors that must be taken into consideration when selecting an epoxy product, including: cure temperature, moisture level, and required adhesive strength.

These two ­­­­­­­new webpages were released by CSS to assist manufacturers and commercial businesses in finding relevant information on the web­­­ about epoxy coatings. Still have questions?
