System Comparisons

Both are two-part floor coatings, but they cure on completely different clocks. Here’s how they compare on cure time, UV stability, cost, and where each one wins.

One refines the slab you already have, the other adds a film on top. How they differ on cost drivers, slab condition, moisture, downtime and repair, and when to walk away from each.

What separates the two systems, and why "broadcast to refusal" means a specific rate, not a guess.

Not the same product at two prices. What is in the can, how each one cures, and the one job water-based does that a solids product cannot do at all.

The word names a chemical reaction, not a product class. Three questions decide what is in the can, and where a polyaspartic actually sits.

A rigid film you roll against a flexible membrane you spray. When each wins, and why on concrete they are often used together.

The same build with a different aggregate. What soft chips and hard sand change: the wear, the texture, the look and where each belongs.

Epoxy builds the floor; the last coat decides how it handles sunlight, scuffs and cleaning. Epoxy, polyurethane or polyaspartic, and what each demands.

Broadcast to refusal, or stop at a chosen density and let the base coat show. What changes: the base color, the texture, the topcoat and the order.
