Polyaspartic is the new and improved polyurea formula. In fact, polyaspartic is a type of polyurea coating that has been modified to solve the problems associated with polyurea.
Polyaspartic is the better choice for the following reasons:
- A longer pot life makes installing polyaspartics easier, improving its adhesion to concrete.
- Greater UV resistance makes polyaspartics less prone to yellowing than even UV-resistant polyurea coatings.
- The faster drying time of polyurea means that it is more difficult to apply than polyaspartics.
- Polyaspartic takes longer to cure, allowing for a more even application pace without worrying about too-fast drying.
- Their higher solid content means that polyaspartics go on thicker and can cover a full flake system in a single coat.
