Description
Polyurethane coating, which is generally compared to epoxy, has more ergonomic use than many floor coverings, depending on its usage areas. Accordingly, don’t let the dry film thickness of polyurethane fool you.
Polyurethane has greater flexibility than epoxy, making the surface much more scratch resistant. It also helps absorb impacts better and provides much higher wear resistance.
WHAT IS POLYURETHANE FLOORING?
Polyurethane is a type of thermosetting polymer and is considered a high-performance coating. Although technically incorrect, it is often known simply as “ urethane .”
One of the advantages of polyurethane is that colored EPDM granules of different colors, logos, geometric shapes, graphics can be applied to the surface. The system is designed to mount in different thicknesses as it can adjust protection for critical fall height on playgrounds, and colors can be mixed and varied to complement playground equipment and playground settings.
Another advantage of polyurethane is that it is UV stable. This means that when the polyurethane floor is exposed to sunlight for a certain period of time, it will not be affected as much as epoxy. It can also tolerate greater temperature fluctuations and control humidity better.
ADVANTAGES OF POLYURETHANE FLOOR COATING
Versatility
Polyurethane coatings can be applied to many surface materials, including wood, metal and plastic, and to almost any flooring surface.
Superior Protection
The primary benefit of using polyurethane coatings is the protection provided by the surface itself. When applied, the coating creates an impermeable barrier between the elements and the object it covers. With its smooth and hard surface, polyurethane keeps rain, dirt, mud and other natural surface abrasives away and provides protection against moisture and oxidation that can cause corrosion .
Additionally, polyurethane floor coatings are very popular in the manufacturing industry because they help seal in oils and solvents, as well as having the added benefit of helping reduce noise.
Limited Risk
Since polyurethane does not emit any vapors that could be harmful to humans, animals or the environment, the choice of use generally poses little risk.
POLYURETHANE FLOOR FEATURES
UV Stability: Polyurethane is resistant to UV rays ( aliphatic polyurethanes ), which means it will not discolour/fade when exposed to sunlight.
Flexibility : Polyurethane flooring systems offer potentially suitable flexibility, usually accommodating small movements. It is not a completely solid structure like a concrete floor.
Durability: Like epoxy, polyurethane is strong and heavy, making it especially effective when there are heavy loads and a lot of human movement.
Minimum Maintenance & Repair: A polyurethane floor covering system used in busy 24-hour businesses does not require maintenance & repair for many years other than standard periodic maintenance.
Heat Tolerance: Polyurethanes provide high heat, cold and thermal shock tolerance.
Other Features;
- Reduced VOC emissions.
- Suitable for underfloor heating systems.
- Easy glide.
- Long lifespan.
- It is resistant to yellowing and abrasion.
Polyurethane floors are stylish and durable floors that can be installed on dynamic surfaces such as raised floors, suspended floors or old asphalt screeds.
Dry joints and those that control the shrinkage of the substrate are installed under the floor during the preparation phase. This does not allow laying joints even if the substrate is not continuous.
Polyurethane flooring has phono-insulating properties, is highly resistant to impacts and scratches, and is strong enough to sustain industrial traffic. It is highly preferred as an effective floor type,especially for basketball court construction .
Completely light-stable, the surface coating ensures reliable use with a variety of bright colors, even in commercial applications where intense light penetrates. You can also find antistatic or ESD versions of polyurethane flooring (Electro Static Discharge) on the market .
