KEY ADVANTAGES OF
POLYURETHANE RESIN COATINGS

  • Enhanced Flexibility: Unlike more rigid flooring options, polyurethane resin coatings are prized for their flexibility. This property allows them to better absorb impact and movement, making them ideal for environments where heavy equipment or frequent foot traffic might cause traditional floors to crack.
  • Superior Chemical Resistance: Polyurethane coatings are highly resistant to a wide spectrum of chemicals, including acids, oils, and solvents. This makes them a top choice for environments like laboratories, chemical plants, and automotive workshops, where floors are regularly exposed to hazardous substances.
  • Thermal Resilience: Capable of withstanding both high and low temperatures, polyurethane resin coatings are well-suited for environments with fluctuating temperatures. They perform excellently in commercial kitchens, cold storage facilities, and outdoor areas, where other materials might falter.
  • Anti-Slip Properties: Safety is paramount in any workplace. Polyurethane resin coatings can be formulated with anti-slip properties, providing a secure surface that reduces the risk of accidents in areas prone to spills or moisture.
  • Customizable Aesthetics: With polyurethane resin coatings, you’re not limited to a single look. Available in a broad range of colours, finishes, and textures, these coatings can be tailored to align with your brand or design vision, creating a space that’s both functional and visually appealing.
  • Low Maintenance: One of the standout features of polyurethane resin coatings is their ease of maintenance. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents the buildup of dirt and bacteria, making it easy to keep clean with regular sweeping and mopping.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Polyurethane resin coatings are known for their flexibility, which allows them to better absorb impacts and adapt to temperature changes, unlike more rigid flooring solutions.

Yes, polyurethane resin coatings are suitable for outdoor use as they offer weather resistance, so can cope with rain, snow and sun. They also handle thermal expansion and contraction well, thus can withstand temperature changes without cracking.

Chemical resistance means the polyurethane resin coatings can withstand chemical spills, whilst the coating also provides superb abrasion resistance.

Polyurethane coatings handle chemical exposure well and can resist chemicals like oils, grease, fuels, cleaning products, and alcohols.

Yes, the polyurethane coatings can be tailored to meet the requirements of the project. If you need an outdoor surface, then you may require a coating that offers enhanced UV resistance. If you plan to be using chemicals in an indoor setting, then a coating that provides better chemical resistance, but lower UV stability, may be the preferred option. Speak with our team to discuss your needs and we’ll recommend the best formulation for your project.

Sweep with a brush to clear dust and debris, whilst a mild detergent and water can be used to mop the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as this could damage the flooring.

It’s always best to clean up spills promptly, as even though polyurethane coatings offer a high degree of chemical-resistance, long exposure can cause degradation or discolouration.
