Key Performance Differences
1.Curing Time and Construction Efficiency
Polyaspartic: A single-layer coating thickness reaches 0.5-1mm. Some products support recoating within 2-3 hours, with the entire system finished (primer + topcoat) within 24 hours and ready to use within 36 hours. The application adapts to a wide temperature range (-5°C to 40°C) and up to 95% humidity.
Epoxy resin: Requires multi-stage construction (primer, intermediate coat, topcoat), with each layer curing in 12-24 hours. The full system takes 5-7 days to complete. At ambient temperatures below 10°C or humidity above 85%, issues like poor curing and bubbles frequently occur.
Impact: Polyaspartic reduces renovation downtime for commercial premises by 70%, making it ideal for hospitals, shopping malls, and other time-sensitive environments.
2. Weather resistance and stability
Polyaspartic: Resists yellowing for 10+ years outdoors with UV absorbers and withstands extreme temperatures (-30°C to 80°C), suitable for most room temperature in most regions .
Epoxy Resin: Shows visible yellowing within 6-12 months under UV exposure, softens at >60°C, and becomes brittle below 0°C.
Data: ASTM G154 accelerated aging tests reveal >90% gloss retention for polyaspartic after 3,000 hours, versus 40% for epoxy.
3. Mechanical properties and durability
Polyaspartic: Good physical property and flexible, absorbs impact energy and resists gasoline, and chemicals, ideal for chemical plants and auto repair shops.
Epoxy Resin: Prone to cracking under heavy impacts or thermal expansion, with limited chemical resistance against oils and acids.
4. Environmental protection and safety
Polyaspartic: Features a waterborne/solvent-free formula (VOC <50g/L), safe for kindergartens and food facilities.
Epoxy Resin: Contains benzene solvents (VOC 300-500g/L), requiring respirators during application and posing dizziness risks in poorly ventilated areas.
5. Aesthetics and maintenance
Polyaspartic: Achieves a mirror-like finish (100+ GU gloss) with a hydrophobic surface; daily maintenance requires only water wiping.
Epoxy Resin: Initial gloss (90-95 GU) diminishes rapidly; scratches demand sanding/recoating, and monthly waxing is necessary.
Application Scenarios
Preferred Scenarios for Polyaspartic:
High-traffic commercial spaces (airports, shopping centers), outdoor/semi-outdoor areas (parking ramps, roof terraces), industrial environments (pharmaceutical GMP workshops, lithium battery plants), garage floor and eco-sensitive zones (schools, hospitals).
Epoxy Resin Applicable Scenarios:
Low-cost warehouses (light-duty shelving), short-term rentals (temporary exhibitions), and controlled indoor environments (electronic component storage).
Construction case studies
In a garage floor renovation project, the performance of a transparent polyaspartic flake flooring system outperformed epoxy resin flooring:
The transparent polyaspartic system is ready within 24 hours, with its primer curing in 3 hours to anchor the flakes, and the entire system becomes fully operational in just 2 days. In contrast, epoxy resin flooring requires significantly longer curing times, and its application is heavily impacted by ambient temperature fluctuations.
JHSW8803 Polyaspartic delivers unmatched performance where aesthetics and resilience coexist.
Developed by Qingdao Polyswell Technology Co., Ltd., a leading innovator in advanced coating solutions, this high-performance two-component polyurea system sets a new benchmark for durability and aesthetics.
Designed for demanding environments, it seamlessly integrates UV resistance , robust corrosion protection, waterproofing excellence, and decorative versatility into a single solution. Its crystal-clear transparency enhances the visual appeal of decorative flakes or metallic finishes while maintaining long-term gloss retention.
Conclusion
Polyaspartic redefines high-end flooring standards by exchanging time efficiency for business value, reducing lifecycle costs through durability, and aligning with sustainability goals.
For enterprises prioritizing long-term operational efficiency, polyaspartic is now an irreversible technological choice.
Decision-makers should avoid the "unit price comparison" trap and evaluate holistically based on downtime losses, maintenance costs, and brand image.
