ResinTech Topcoats Compared — HPP vs CRU vs TCU

All three ResinTech topcoats are UV-stable aliphatic surfaces that protect the epoxy build beneath them — but each is tuned for a different priority. Use this guide to choose between HPP, CRU and TCU for your floor or deck system. Stocked at Canopus Supply — pickup in North Vancouver; ships across Canada and the USA.

Confirm exact cure times, coverage, chemical resistance and slip requirements against each product's current TDS before specifying.

When to Choose Each

HPP — High Performance Polyaspartic. Choose HPP when speed matters. Its fast-cure polyaspartic chemistry returns floors to service quickly, making it ideal for occupied spaces, retail, and decorative flake or quartz seal coats where downtime must be minimized.

CRU — Chemical Resistant Urethane. Choose CRU where chemical and abrasion resistance are the priority — commercial kitchens, food service, laboratories and industrial floors exposed to cleaning chemicals, acids and standing liquids.

TCU — Aliphatic Top Coat Urethane. Choose TCU for long-term colour and gloss retention on colour-critical commercial and industrial floors that must hold appearance under UV and wear.

They Share a Foundation

All three sit over a ResinTech epoxy base/build — typically TUE or CBE. Use the ResinTech System Selector to match the full base + topcoat build to your application.
