Overview of ASTM D2794 impact tests and why polyurea floor coatings outperform epoxy in flexibility, heat tolerance and UV stability for high-traffic floors.
Overview of standards and a five-step lab process for testing antimicrobial concrete coatings, covering EPA MB-40, ASTM/ISO methods, durability, and log reductions.
Compare epoxy vs polyurea floor coatings by upfront cost, lifespan, curing time, and 20-year total cost to evaluate long-term savings.
Adhesion testing (pull-off and tape) reveals whether concrete coatings will hold up under traffic, chemicals, and harsh weather — methods, pros, and best practices.
Polyurea is the greener, longer-lasting concrete floor coating—near-zero VOCs, fast curing, superior durability, and less waste than epoxy or polyurethane.
Understand slab moisture, ASTM tests (RH, calcium chloride), surface prep, and vapor barriers to prevent peeling, blistering, and coating failures.
Penetrating concrete sealers repel water and de-icing salts, reducing freeze-thaw damage, extending driveway lifespan, and making winter maintenance easier.
