Epoxy vs Polyurea Tested

See How Our Polyurea Compares in Various Tests With Other Inexpensive Epoxy and Common Polyurea. 

At AmVet 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.

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.
