Epoxy vs Polyurea Tested

See How Penntek’s Polyurea Compares in Various Tests With Inexpensive Epoxy and Common Polyurea. 

At MadJack Concrete Coatings, we only deviate from the standard to exceed the standard.

Impact Resistance

Impact resistance greatly affects the long term adhesion as well as the wear and tear of your floor coating.

Stretch & Flex

Flexibility allows your concrete coating to bounce back and not chip or peel when impacted on.

Stains & Spills

Spills happen, and with Penntek's pure polyurea all you need for an easy cleanup is a towel and general purpose cleaner.

UV Stability

Epoxy will yellow over time, and while polyurea is better, Penntek's polyurea is especially designed to withstand exposure to UV light.

Epoxy vs Polyurea Impact Resistance Test

Impact resistance greatly affects the long term adhesion as well as the wear and tear of your floor coating.

Epoxy flooring is inexpensive and widely available, its impact resistance is relatively low, especially in spaces that see regular use. Johnson City customers notice epoxy coatings can chip, crack, or wear down over time when exposed to vehicle traffic, and temperature changes. For homeowners looking for a floor coating with high impact resistance, we recommend Penntek’s polyaspartic polyurea coating systems, which are engineered to outperform traditional epoxy floors.

Epoxy vs Polyurea STRETCH & Flexibility Test

When installing concrete coating it is really important to make sure the coating is flexible and is able to shift and move along with the surface.

For most residential installations we are dealing with floating slabs of concrete which are designed to flex and move with the shifting Earth. It’s important that any coating that we’re installing is able to shift and move along with this substrate for a long term coating solution.

Stains & Chemical Resistance

While floors may look the same day one, it’s important to pick a floor coating that will withstand the test of time.

Penntek’s polyurea coating is chemically resistant, which makes even the toughest spills easy to clean with just a towel and a general-purpose cleaner. Homeowners who start by searching for epoxy floors or epoxy flooring often want a surface that resists stains and chemicals, and this level of protection helps keep the floor looking clean and well-maintained with minimal effort.

UV Stability Test

UV light will make a common polyurea and epoxy yellow or amber over time.

Penntek products are formulated to withstand some of the harshest weather conditions, making them well-suited for both indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces. From pool decks and patios to driveways and garages, each coating system is selected to match how the surface is actually used. The goal is not just a better-looking floor, but a coating that holds up to moisture, temperature swings, UV exposure, and daily wear while continuing to perform year after year.
