What Is Polyaspartic Coating?
Polyaspartic is a second-generation aliphatic polyurea floor coating that outperforms standard epoxy in cure speed, UV stability, temperature flexibility, and scratch resistance. It's now our most popular residential system throughout Carmel, Fishers, and greater Indianapolis.
Polyaspartic vs Epoxy — The Real Differences
- Cure Speed: Walk-ready in 24 hours vs 72 hours for epoxy. Vehicle-ready in 48 hours.
- UV Stability: Fully UV-stable — will not yellow or chalk even in sun-facing garages.
- Temperature Range: Remains flexible from -40°F to 250°F — built for Indiana's extreme swings.
- Cold Application: Applied from 0°F to 120°F — epoxy requires 50°F+ minimum.
- Scratch Resistance: Scores higher on Taber abrasion testing than most epoxy systems.
Why Indiana Demands Polyaspartic
Indiana temperatures swing from -20°F in January to 100°F in July. Road salts attack coatings year-round. The freeze-thaw cycle constantly expands and contracts concrete slabs. Standard epoxy can develop micro-cracks under these conditions. Polyaspartic's inherent elasticity handles Indiana's climate without compromise, year after year.
