Contractor FAQ — Polyaspartic Coatings
What is polyaspartic and how does it differ from epoxy?
Polyaspartic is an aliphatic coating in the polyurea family, formulated for fast cure, UV stability, and colour retention. Unlike aromatic epoxy, polyaspartic does not amber in UV-exposed environments. It is commonly used as a fast-cure topcoat over an epoxy base coat in commercial floor systems. Confirm product selection against the current TDS and project specification before ordering.
How fast does polyaspartic cure?
Cure times vary by product formulation, ambient temperature, and humidity. Some polyaspartic systems allow foot traffic within hours of application. Confirm specific cure times, recoat windows, and return-to-service timelines against the current TDS and site conditions before installation.
Can polyaspartic be applied as a single-coat system?
Some polyaspartic products are formulated for single-coat application; others are designed as topcoats over a primer or epoxy base coat. System configuration depends on substrate condition, traffic exposure, and project specification. Confirm the full system against the current manufacturer documentation before ordering.
Is polyaspartic suitable for exterior and UV-exposed areas?
Aliphatic polyaspartic formulations are designed for colour and gloss retention in UV-exposed environments. Confirm exterior suitability, including temperature and humidity application windows, against the current TDS and project specification before use.
