Flexibility and Durability:
Polyurethane floors are highly flexible and can withstand a great deal of movement and expansion. They are ideal for areas where the floor is subject to frequent temperature changes or mechanical impact. PU floors also offer better impact resistance than epoxy floors, making them more suitable for heavy-duty environments like cold storage or food production, where machinery may frequently move.
Thermal Resistance:
Polyurethane floors have superior thermal resistance, making them ideal for environments with extreme temperature changes. They can handle both hot and cold temperatures, which is why they are often found in cold storage or commercial kitchens.
Chemical Resistance:
Polyurethane floors have excellent resistance to organic acids, making them perfect for food industries, dairies, or beverage factories where organic spills (such as from fruits or dairy) are common.
Aesthetic Options:
PU floors are often softer in appearance, with a matte finish. Their flexibility allows for a seamless, cushioned feel underfoot, which makes them more comfortable to walk on for long periods.
UV Resistance :
Polyurethane is highly resistant to UV light, making it a great option for outdoor applications or areas with direct sunlight exposure. It does not yellow or degrade as easily as epoxy under UV rays.
Advantages of PU Floors :
- High flexibility and elasticity for areas subject to temperature changes or movement.
- Resistant to organic acids, ideal for food-related industries.
- Better UV stability, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
- Soft underfoot, providing comfort for areas with long periods of standing.
