Polyurethane Resin Floor Paint - Online Shop

this time we do we do not recommend solvent containing polyurethane resin floor paints for most internal applications on floors. - Although we regularly supply them for external use due to their tolerance of low temperatures during application and drying / hardening, for sealing block paving for example – These systems are available on our sister site www.nccstreetscape.co.uk. This is designed for our paving and landscaping contractor’s support and supply.

On the positive side, one-component, solvent based polyurethane resin floor paints (or PU floor paints) can - have particularly good abrasion resistance and good chemical resistance to hydrocarbon based liquids.

However, as with all of the single component PU products, satisfactory performance and their properties on the floor are dependent on the floor paint achieving adequate penetration, as they bond through the capillaries of the concrete surface, rather than through direct adhesion – The surface preparation and a minimum moisture content of the concrete are therefore also critical issues to avoid any future problems, such as delamination, plus all one component PU floor painting products are moisture-sensitive and cannot be used on damp floors or in areas subject to condensation.

Two-component Polyurethane (PU) Floor Paint

Two component PU floor paints also all generally have excellent wear and chemical resistance, they can also be applied and bond directly on to dense substrates. Their major drawback however is still always cost – As the materials are very much more expensive than 2-part epoxy resin floor paints.

However two component PU floor paints are also sensitive to any residual moisture / dampness in the concrete, or condensation in dew point conditions during preparation, application and curing, which can lead to a lack of adhesion, blistering and peeling - rather risky for anyone other than experienced specialist contractors we feel?

On balance because of the health and application, limitations and risks, NCC Buy Floor Paints has decided not to provide polyurethane floor paints online, nor would we recommend them for use by anyone other than experienced professionals.

Please Note: This summary concerns Polyurethane Floor paints and does not relate to the highly chemically, temperature and abrasion resistant 3- part modified cement based screed systems such as Sikafloor Purcem and the BASF Ucrete range of materials. These PU Flooring materials are again a special type of resin flooring which are designed for application by trained and experienced professional contractors with the right equipment. There are more details on our sister website for technical resin flooring available at www.resinflooringsite.co.uk

If you think that the high performance characteristics of special 1 or 2 component, 100% polyurethane floor paints or other PU Flooring systems such as Purcem may be advantageous for your project, please call any of our offices and one of our technical flooring specialists will be happy to assist and advise you.
