What Is Polyaspartic?
Polyaspartic coatings are next-generation aliphatic polyurea systems engineered for rapid cure times, UV stability, and superior abrasion resistance. Compared to epoxy, polyaspartic delivers high-build protection with faster return-to-service—ideal for industrial floors, garages, and commercial facilities.

The Science Behind Polyaspartic Technology
Polyaspartics are synthesized through a Michael Addition reaction between diamines and maleic acid diesters, resulting in secondary aliphatic diamines. The molecular structure incorporates steric hindrance through the diamine component, providing a key advantage over conventional polyamines. Unlike typical polyamines—which react too rapidly with low-cost aromatic polyisocyanates—polyaspartics exhibit controlled reactivity. This makes them a unique class of hindered secondary amines, whose reactivity can be precisely tailored to achieve specific performance characteristics while maintaining compatibility with standard application techniques.
