There are 3 types of coating Resin, PU, Epoxy & ESD, what are the differences?
We started humbly as an applicator for anti-slip floor and wall coatings in buildings and marine industries. We slowly expanded and got very active in corrosion and waterproofing systems for concrete and metal roofs related jobs. We have since flourished and has claimed fame as a full-fledged Single Source Solutions provider and leader in the industries of polymeric protective epoxy floor coatings.
“Epoxy and polyurethane (PU) floors are the two most commonly used types of resinous industrial floors. An age old question in our industry is what are the differences between the two types of floors? And when should we pick epoxy vs polyurethane?”
— Shereen Chong, Markerting & Specification specialistr
Epoxy Flooring is soft, elastic and have micro ingredients Here
Epoxy flooring is a durable, seamless flooring system created by applying layers of epoxy resin onto a prepared substrate. It is known for its high-performance properties, such as chemical resistance and low maintenance, and is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential settings for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) flooring protects electronics
ESD flooring, or electrostatic dissipative flooring, is a specialized type of flooring used in environments where static electricity can damage sensitive electronics or pose safety risks. It is made with materials designed to safely dissipate static electricity, and is commonly used in industries such as electronics manufacturing and laboratories. ESD flooring helps prevent electrostatic discharge, protecting sensitive electronic equipment and ensuring a safe work environment.
Polyurethane floors are usually softer and more elastic. This makes them more resistant to scratching as their elasticity tends to absorb some of the impact.
PU flooring, also known as polyurethane flooring, is a type of seamless, resilient flooring system that is composed of polyurethane-based materials. It is a versatile and durable flooring option that is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings due to its excellent performance characteristics.
Besides that, do have a look on the following table of the summary of its usage
