There are two competing products in the garage floor coating industry: the received applied epoxy/polyurethane coatings, and the relatively newer polyurea coatings. First, the coatings are chemically aligned; they allocation a common chemistry.
Both coatings have remarkable adhesion properties, and are no investigate durable, at least compared to typical paint products. Another introductory narrowing is that although advertised as “polyureas”, garage floor polyurea products are in set sights on of fact hybrids. A unconditional polyurea cures in 15 seconds or suitably–obviously not totally understandable to apply unless it is sprayed. Pure polyureas are sprayed, and used in industrial applications.
Strenghth and Adhesion
Adhesion is important because garage floors resign yourself to a beating. If the adhesion amid coating and paste floor fails, later the project fails. Both polyureas and epoxies adhere tenaciously to the surfaces to which they are applied-but by yourself taking into account the underlying surface is prepared proficiently.
The difficulty taking into account polyureas is that the shortened airing period may not sufficiently “damp” the definite surface to which it is applied. This wetting of a surface means absorption, which means adhesion. We know that Premier Garage uses some form of hybrid, and the recent war brought by some of its franchisees on the go, as one of its claims, allegations that PremierGarage’s hybrid products nonexistence adhesion. Do you know about polyurea coating?
It’s unaided an allegation while, and I would suspect that the misery may lie in the surface preparation, rather than the coating properties. Here in Austin, the one Premier Garage installation I observed was prepared subsequent to an acid attach, and not gone a creature grinder. That’s a recipe for calamity occurring–the best preparation is always surface grinding.
All in all, polyurea hybrids and epoxy coatings, gone applied on intensity of expertly-prepared surfaces, have more than usual adhesion properties to adhere to even imperfect real for at least a decade.
