To start with is that the two are the most commonly used types of resinous industrial floors.Having known that it is important that it is to note the differences before you choose.
Epoxy floors are harder, more durable and have a much higher compression strength than polyurethanes.That is why they are preferred over PU.
Epoxy floors are harder, more durable and have a much higher compression strength than polyurethanes.
Both are good chemical resistant but they only work well in different other industries,For example, PU can work well in an industry that Epoxy would not necessarily work for.
In environments where there is presence of humidity then polyurethane floor resins are extremely sensitive compared to epoxy.
Polyurethane floors have a faster curing time compared to epoxy as it is more flexible.
Polyurethane is more UV stable compared to epoxy.
Polyurethane is also a better medium than epoxy to mix in anti slip aggregate.
Polyurethane can provide a very glossy surface that gives your floor depth compared to epoxy.
Epoxy floor coatings offer better adhesion and chemical resistant properties than polyurethane coatings.
Epoxy floor coatings are the best choice for coating industrial floors and commercial floors where heavy machinery is in use and durability is a concern.
