| Feature | PU MF Flooring (Heavy-Duty) | Epoxy Coating (Light-Traffic) |
| Full Name | Polyurethane Modified Cementitious Flooring (PU MF) | Epoxy Resin Coating |
| Typical Thickness | 4–6 mm (can go up to 9 mm) | 0.3–0.5 mm |
| Base Composition | Polyurethane-cement blend | Epoxy resin with hardener |
| Traffic Tolerance | Forklifts, pallet jacks, heavy machinery | Foot traffic, trolleys |
| Thermal Resistance | Excellent (up to 120°C or higher) | Low to moderate (up to ~60°C) |
| Chemical Resistance | High, including acids and alkalis | Moderate; limited to mild chemicals |
| Slip Resistance | High (textured finish) | Moderate (can be enhanced with sand) |
| Application Areas | Food processing, manufacturing plants, cold storage, chemical plants | Offices, commercial walkways, light-duty warehouses |
2.1 Strength & Durability
- PU MF Flooring is a heavy-duty solution that can withstand mechanical impact, thermal shock, and aggressive cleaning regimens.
- Epoxy Coating is more decorative and suitable for lighter loads; prone to chipping or delamination under heavy use.
- PU MF typically has a slightly rough, matte finish for slip resistance.
- Epoxy coatings have a glossy, smooth finish unless anti-slip additives are included.
- PU MF requires skilled application and longer curing times due to its thickness.
- Epoxy systems cure faster and are easier to apply, making them cost-effective for small areas.
- PU MF systems can last 10–15 years or more in harsh environments.
- Epoxy coatings may last 2–5 years under light traffic before re-coating is needed.

Choosing between PU MF Flooring and Epoxy Coating depends largely on the functional demands of your facility:
- Choose PU MF Flooring for areas exposed to heavy traffic, harsh chemicals, or extreme temperatures.
- Choose Epoxy Coating for aesthetic enhancement and light-duty applications where cost-efficiency and fast installation are priorities.
