Benefits of StoneCoat Floors
Why 5-Layers are Better than 3-Layers
**StoneCoat Floors uses a five-layer Polyaspartic flooring system, which includes:**
1. **Primer Layer:** A tinted polyaspartic layer that deeply penetrates the concrete.
2. **Bonding Layer:** Another tinted polyaspartic layer that helps bond the chips or flakes.
3. **Chip/Flake Layer:** Adds texture and color to the floor.
4. **Acrylic Layer:** Smooths the surface and helps with flake distribution.
5. **Top Polyaspartic Layer:** Provides a durable and protective finish.
**An extra layer of polyaspartic can be added for even more durability.**
#### Comparing Three-Layer and Five-Layer Systems
**In a three-layer system, there are:**
1. **Prime/Binder Layer:** A single polyaspartic layer used as the primer.
2. **Chip/Flake Layer:** Adds texture and color.
3. **Topcoat:** One polyaspartic layer for protection.
**With just one polyaspartic layer as the primer, the flakes can absorb too much of the polyaspartic and color. This leaves less polyaspartic to bond to the concrete, resulting in a weaker bond and uneven color.**
**StoneCoat Floors' five-layer system prevents this problem. The primer coat penetrates the concrete, ensuring a strong bond. The color stays even because it doesn’t get absorbed by the concrete below the flakes.**
**Five layers provide a smoother, more even finish, which is better for durability and looks.**
#### The Importance of the Acrylic Layer
**The acrylic layer before the top coat is important because:**
1. **Correction:** It allows technicians to adjust the flake distribution before applying the topcoat.
2. **Smoothness:** It helps the flakes lay down smoothly, creating a perfect surface for the topcoat.
### Conclusion
**For a Polyaspartic coating, choose our five-layer system over a three-layer one. The difference in quality and appearance is clear and significant.**
What is Polyaspartic?
Polyaspartic concrete coatings are a type of protective coating applied to concrete surfaces to enhance their durability, aesthetics, and resistance to various environmental factors. Polyaspartic coatings are a subset of polyurea coatings and are known for their fast curing time, high abrasion resistance, and excellent chemical resistance.
Here are some Key Features and Benefits of Polyaspartic Concrete Coatings:
- Fast curing time: Polyaspartic coatings cure quickly, often within a few hours. This fast curing allows for shorter project timelines and reduces downtime for the coated surface.
- UV stability: Polyaspartic coatings have excellent UV resistance, meaning they can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without yellowing, chalking, or deteriorating. This makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- High abrasion resistance: Polyaspartic coatings provide a tough and durable surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, vehicular traffic, and impact. They are highly resistant to scratches, scuffs, and abrasion, making them suitable for high-traffic areas such as garages, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
- Chemical resistance: Polyaspartic coatings offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, solvents, oils, and stains. This makes them suitable for environments where spills or chemical exposure is common, such as manufacturing plants, laboratories, and automotive facilities.
- Versatility: Polyaspartic coatings can be used on various concrete surfaces, including floors, countertops, walls, and decorative concrete. They are available in a range of colors and finishes, allowing for customization and aesthetic enhancement of the coated surface.
- Adhesion and flexibility: Polyaspartic coatings exhibit strong adhesion to concrete substrates, ensuring a long-lasting bond. They also have good flexibility, allowing them to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or delaminating.
- Low VOC emissions: Many polyaspartic coatings are formulated to have low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, making them environmentally friendly and safe for use in indoor spaces.
- Ease of application: Polyaspartic coatings are typically applied using a roller or spray equipment. Their fast curing time allows for multiple coats to be applied in a single day, reducing installation time and labor costs.
It's important to note that proper surface preparation is crucial for achieving optimal results with polyaspartic coatings. The concrete surface should be clean, dry, and free from contaminants or moisture before the coating is applied. Additionally, professional installation is recommended to ensure the coating is applied correctly and to maximize its performance and longevity.
