Polyurethane or Epoxy?

Both are resin-based floor coatings, but they are designed for different jobs. The short version is this: epoxy is harder, polyurethane is more flexible. Hardness means resistance to abrasion; flexibility means tolerance of temperature change and impact.

So the question is not "which one is better" but "what is stressing this floor".

Enclosed warehouses and workshops: heavy abrasion, no sunlight — epoxy systems lead here.

Food and beverage production: where washing is done with hot water and organic acids, polyurethane concrete (Ucrete type) systems are preferred.

Open car parks and ramps: UV exposure and temperature swings are high; polyurethane has the advantage in colour and flexibility.

Cold stores: systems that can be applied at low temperature and accommodate shrinkage are needed.
