Polyaspartic or epoxy in New Jersey?

Many people search for epoxy. Epoxy is a good base coat, but many common epoxies are aromatic, and their makers say they can yellow or chalk in sunlight. See the Euclid Duraltex UV data sheet and the Dulux Luxafloor HSG data sheet.

Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea that holds its color better in sun. It also cures much faster than typical epoxy, so many systems allow vehicle use about a day later. Always follow the exact product sheet. See this polyaspartic vs epoxy summary and our polyaspartic guide.
