Call us today at (845) 273-3494 to find the right product for your project.
What Are Epoxy & MMA Floor Coatings?
Epoxy coatings are two-component systems that bond tightly to concrete and create a tough, seamless surface. They are the workhorse of the resinous flooring industry and the foundation of most HERMETIC floor systems. They come in clear versions for use as primers or topcoats and pigmented versions for color and protection.
MMA coatings, or methyl methacrylate coatings, are a different chemistry entirely. They cure much faster than epoxy, even in cold temperatures, which makes them the go-to choice for projects with tight turnaround times or facilities that cannot tolerate long downtime. They are also extremely durable and work in a wide range of environments.
Both product categories serve a critical role. The right choice depends on your project conditions, timeline, and performance requirements. Our team can help you figure out which one fits best.
Epoxy Clear & Pigmented Coating Products
Our epoxy line covers a wide range of applications, from vapor barrier primers to UV-resistant topcoats to chemical-resistant novolac systems. Here is the full product lineup:
- E100-PT1 SHD—Clear 100% solids epoxy for use as a body coat or topcoat
- E100-PT1 SHD FAST—Fast Set version for accelerated project schedules
- E100-PT1 UBC - Ultra-build clear epoxy for high-mil applications
- E100-PT3 - Waterborne clear epoxy for low-odor environments
- E100-PT4 - 100% solids pigmented epoxy body coat
- E100-PT4 FAST—Fast-set pigmented version for quick turnaround
- E100-VB5—Waterborne epoxy vapor barrier and primer
- E100-VR4—Vapor-resistant epoxy primer for moisture-sensitive slabs
- E100-UV1 - UV-resistant clear epoxy for areas with sun exposure
- E100-UV1 FAST—Fast-set UV-resistant version
- E100-VR1 - Clear UV-resistant epoxy primer
- E100-NV4 - Novolac epoxy for highly chemical-resistant applications
- E100-NV5—High-build Novolac epoxy for secondary containment
- E100-PESD—Electrostatic dissipative epoxy for electronics manufacturing
- EC-1710 - Oil-tolerant epoxy primer for contaminated substrates
- E100-RT1—Cold temperature epoxy for low-temperature installations
- E100-PC2 - Coal tar epoxy for heavy-duty waterproofing applications
What Makes These Products Stand Out
100% solids formulations for maximum build and performance
Fast-set options available for accelerated project schedules
Vapor barrier options for moisture-sensitive concrete slabs
UV-resistant options for areas exposed to sunlight
Novolac options for maximum chemical resistance
ESD options for static-sensitive environments
Oil-tolerant primers for contaminated concrete
Cold temperature options for installations in low-heat environments
MMA—Methyl Methacrylate Coating Products
MMA systems are the right choice when time is the biggest constraint. They cure in as little as one hour, even in temperatures well below freezing. That makes them ideal for cold storage environments, freezer floors, and any project where the facility cannot stay offline for long. Our HERMETIC MMA line includes three products that work together as a complete system:
- HERMETIC MMA Primer—Bonds to the concrete substrate and prepares the surface for the body coat
- HERMETIC MMA Body and Top Coat—The primary build coat that delivers durability, color, and protection
- HERMETIC MMA High Temp Top Coat—A specialty topcoat engineered for environments subject to elevated temperatures
Key Advantages of MMA Coatings
Extremely fast cure time, even in cold temperatures
Suitable for below-freezing installation conditions
High impact and abrasion resistance
Durable in a wide range of industrial environments
Ideal for freezer and cold storage floors
Minimal downtime for operational facilities
Available as a complete system from primer to topcoat
How Do Epoxy and MMA Coatings Compare?
Not sure which is right for your project? Here is a simple breakdown.
Epoxy coatings are the better choice when you have time on your side, need maximum chemical resistance, require a vapor barrier, or are working in a standard temperature environment. They offer more system options and are generally more cost-effective for large projects.
MMA coatings are the better choice when time is short, temperatures are cold, or the facility cannot afford a long shutdown. They cure faster than any other resinous system and perform exceptionally well in demanding conditions.
Both product lines are available through Elite Crete Hudson Valley. Our team can walk you through the options and help you pick the right one for your specific project.
Frequently Asked Questions About Epoxy & MMA Coatings
What is the difference between clear and pigmented epoxy?
Clear epoxy is used as a primer, sealer, or topcoat where the color comes from the layer underneath, such as a broadcast flake or quartz system. Pigmented epoxy adds color directly to the coating itself and is used as a body coat or final finish in solid-color floor systems.
What is a novolac epoxy, and when is it needed?
Novolac epoxy is a high-performance variant that offers superior chemical resistance compared to standard epoxy. It is used in environments with extreme chemical exposure, such as secondary containment areas, chemical processing facilities, and food and beverage plants.
Why would I choose MMA over epoxy?
The main reason is cure speed. MMA cures in about one hour and can be installed in temperatures well below freezing. If your project has a tight turnaround or involves a cold environment, MMA is often the better choice.
Can these products be installed over existing concrete?
Yes. All epoxy and MMA systems are fluid-applied and bond directly to properly prepared existing concrete. Surface preparation is critical to a successful installation.
Do you carry ESD epoxy coatings?
Yes. The E100-PESD is our electrostatic dissipative epoxy product. It is designed for electronics manufacturing and other environments where static discharge is a safety or operational concern.
