What is Epoxy?

What happens here

Next, the conversation covers polyaspartic coatings. Tony describes polyaspartic as a high-performance polymer coating, often an aliphatic polyaspartic, which offers crucial UV stability and durability. Unlike epoxy and polyurea, which can discolor (yellow or greenish-yellow) when exposed to sunlight, polyaspartic remains color-stable. This makes it particularly suitable for garage floors where UV exposure through garage doors or windows can cause yellowing over time. Polyaspartic is also more flexible than epoxy, can be applied in thicker layers, and performs very well in most flooring applications, especially in residential and garage settings.

Goal: Understand polyaspartic's UV stability and its importance for long-term aesthetic appeal in exposed areas.

What they say

to forms of sunlight or different types of lighting. A polypartic is completely UV stable. And what really makes it great in these types of applications is that you get that UV stability. You can build it thick. It's more flexible than an epoxy. And so it functions really well in most flooring applications, especially garage and residential. So I think my understanding now I'm getting a really good understanding of these three terms. So a poly spartic, you know, when I think it's really common now to flake your floor. You throw flakes down, you know, on top of one of your coats and then you have to clear coat those flakes down and that clear coat, if you were using a polyurea, it would yellow over time. Is that true? Correct. If we were using a true polyurea for our clear coat, number one, it would probably pick up a lot of dirt because of that rubbery uh feeling to it. Uh and then number two is it would turn uh greenish yellow rather quickly. I've always done epoxy floors and they've always been, you know, colored. Is there clear epoxies? There are clear epoxies. So, if you put a clear epoxy over the top of your flakes, you would get some discoloration over time. Also, definitely a possibility. The uh epoxy resin is can also be uh tweaked a little bit. Uh so for instance the product we're using for
