Understanding These Coating Types

These are four distinct chemistries. Each one serves a specific purpose in a floor system. Here is a plain-language breakdown of what sets them apart.

Polyurethane coated floor

Polyurethanes

are aliphatic topcoats used as the final protective layer over an epoxy or broadcast system. They add UV stability, abrasion resistance, and a durable, cleanable surface. They are the standard finish coat in most HERMETIC floor systems.

Polyaspartic coated floor

Polyaspartics

are a faster-curing version of aliphatic polyurethane. They offer similar UV stability and durability but cure much faster. They are used as topcoats, broadcast binders, or even as a standalone fast-set floor system.
Polyurea coated floor

Polyurea

coatings are extremely fast-curing and tough. They are used in applications where rapid return to service is critical and maximum impact resistance is needed.
Urethane cement floor

Urethane Cements

are a completely different product category. They combine urethane chemistry with cementitious materials to create a thick, self-leveling system that handles thermal shock, heavy impact, and chemical exposure better than any other coating type. They are the go-to product for commercial kitchens, food and beverage facilities, and any environment subject to steam cleaning and temperature extremes.

Polyurethanes, Polyaspartics & Polyurea Products

Our AUS-V, AUS-HD, and SPARTIC-ALL product lines cover the full range of topcoat and fast-cure flooring needs. Here is the complete product lineup:

AUS-V - Aliphatic Urethane Topcoat

AUS-V is the standard aliphatic urethane topcoat used across most HERMETIC floor systems. It provides UV stability, scratch and abrasion resistance, and a durable gloss or satin finish. It is applied as the final protective layer over pigmented epoxy or broadcast systems.

AUS-HD - Heavy-Duty Aliphatic Urethane Topcoat

AUS-HD is the heavy-duty version of AUS-V. It offers increased abrasion and chemical resistance, making it the right choice for environments with more demanding traffic or chemical exposure. Both gloss and satin finishes are available.

SPARTIC-ALL RM - Fast-Cure Polyaspartic Topcoat

SPARTIC-ALL RM is a rapid-cure aliphatic polyaspartic used as a topcoat or broadcast binder. It delivers UV stability and durability with a much faster cure time than standard urethane topcoats. It is ideal for projects that need quick turnaround without sacrificing long-term performance.

SPARTIC-ALL MXP—Mixed Polyaspartic System

SPARTIC-ALL MXP is a versatile polyaspartic system designed for use as both a topcoat and a body coat. It offers excellent UV stability, flexibility, and adhesion. It works well in a variety of commercial and industrial applications.

SPARTIC-ALL TMS - Traffic-Grade Polyaspartic Topcoat

SPARTIC-ALL TMS is a traffic-grade polyaspartic topcoat engineered for high-wear environments. It provides superior abrasion resistance and UV stability, making it a strong choice for areas with heavy foot traffic, vehicular use, or aggressive cleaning.

Key Advantages of Polyurethane and Polyaspartic Products

  • UV-stable finishes that resist yellowing and fading
  • Superior abrasion and scratch resistance as topcoats
  • Fast-cure options available for quick project turnaround
  • Gloss and satin finishes available
  • Compatible with epoxy, broadcast, and quartz floor systems
  • Durable and easy to clean and maintain
  • Suitable for commercial, industrial, and residential applications

Urethane Cement Products

Urethane cements are in a class of their own. They are thick, self-leveling systems that bond directly to concrete and provide protection that standard epoxy or polyurethane coatings simply cannot match in the most demanding environments. They are the first choice for commercial kitchens, food processing areas, breweries, and any space subject to thermal shock and heavy chemical exposure.

HERMETIC 4.8S Urethane Cement

The HERMETIC 4.8S is a slurry-grade urethane cement system. It applies at approximately 4.8 millimeters thick and delivers exceptional thermal shock resistance, chemical resistance, and impact strength. It is widely used in commercial kitchens, food and beverage processing areas, and industrial environments where cleaning involves steam, boiling water, or aggressive chemicals.

HERMETIC 2.2T Urethane Cement

The HERMETIC 2.2T is a thinner urethane cement trowel-applied system. It applies at approximately 2.2 millimeters thick and offers the same core performance benefits in a lower-build profile. It is the right choice when a thinner system is needed without compromising durability or chemical resistance.

HERMETIC 7.3M Urethane Cement

The HERMETIC 7.3M is the heaviest-build option in the urethane cement line. It applies at approximately 7.3 millimeters thick and is designed for the most demanding environments where maximum thickness and impact protection are required.

Key Advantages of Urethane Cement Products

  • Thermal shock resistant for steam cleaning and boiling water environments
  • Superior impact and abrasion resistance compared to standard epoxy
  • High chemical resistance to acids, cleaning agents, and industrial chemicals
  • Bonds to damp or green concrete in some applications
  • Self-leveling application for a smooth, consistent finish
  • FDA and USDA acceptable for food service environments
  • Available in multiple thicknesses for different project requirements
  • Excellent performance in freezer and cold storage environments

Which Product Is Right for Your Project?

Not sure where to start? Here is a quick guide.

If you need a UV-stable, durable topcoat over an existing floor system, AUS-V or AUS-HD is the right choice. If you need that same performance with a faster cure time, SPARTIC-ALL RM or TMS will get you there. If your project involves a commercial kitchen, brewery, food processing area, or any space with thermal shock exposure, HERMETIC Urethane Cement is the product you need.

Our team at Elite Crete Hudson Valley can walk you through the options and help you pick the right one for your specific conditions and timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions About Polyurethane & Urethane Cement Coatings

  • What is the difference between a polyurethane and a polyaspartic topcoat?

    Both are aliphatic coatings that resist UV and provide a durable topcoat. The main difference is cure speed. Polyaspartics cure significantly faster, which reduces downtime. Polyurethanes typically offer a slightly longer working time, which can be easier to apply in large or complex spaces.

  • Why use urethane cement instead of standard epoxy in a kitchen?

    Urethane cement handles thermal shock. When a commercial kitchen floor is hit with boiling water or steam during cleaning, standard epoxy can delaminate or crack from the rapid temperature change. Urethane cement is engineered to absorb that thermal stress without failing.

  • Can polyaspartic coatings be used as a standalone floor system?

    Yes. In some applications, a polyaspartic system can be used as both the body coat and topcoat, particularly for fast-turnaround projects. Our team can advise on which SPARTIC-ALL product works best for a standalone application.

  • Are urethane cement systems FDA acceptable for food environments?

    Yes. HERMETIC Urethane cement systems are FDA and USDA acceptable for applicable food service and processing environments. They meet the hygiene and chemical resistance requirements of commercial food facilities.

  • What thickness of urethane cement do I need?

    It depends on the environment and the level of impact and thermal stress the floor will face. The 2.2T is suitable for moderate demands, the 4.8S for standard commercial kitchen and food processing use, and the 7.3M for the heaviest-duty applications.
