Polyurea Floor Coating
Innovative. Resilient. Almost here.
Industrial & Commercial Solutions for Floors
Our range of polyurea floor coating is designed for residential and commercial flooring projects across Australia and New Zealand, delivering a high-performance alternative to traditional coating systems.
Unlike conventional floor coatings, our polyurea systems are formulated to resist UV exposure, chemicals, moisture, and abrasion, while maintaining colour stability over prolonged use.
Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, these floor coatings provide a low-maintenance finish, suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Key Benefits of Polyurea Floor Coating
Polyurea floor coating is known to deliver a fast-curing, highly durable surface that effectively resists chemicals, moisture, UV exposure, and heavy wear. Key benefits of choosing polyurea floor coating include:
- Fast cure time, so your floors are ready to use within hours rather than days or weeks.
- High durability against impact or heavy traffic.
- Strong resistance against chemicals and stains, making it perfect for use in spill-prone areas.
- Moisture-resistant, helping protect concrete surfaces.
- Flexible and highly elastic, the polyurea coating can move with the slab to better resist cracking or chipping.
- UV stable, making it suitable for sun-exposed/outdoor areas.
- Easy to clean and maintain. Once coated, the floor does not require any special care.
Polyurea vs Epoxy Floor Coating
Unsure whether polyurea or epoxy is the right choice for your floors? Here are the main differences.
Curing Time
Polyurea coating cures much faster, often in about a day or less, while epoxy can take up to several days to cure.
Flexibility
Polyurea coating is typically a lot more flexible than epoxy. This means it can handle slab movement much more effectively, reducing the risk of cracking or flaking.
Affordability
Epoxy coating is far more affordable than polyurea, making it a reasonable choice for budget-sensitive projects.
UV-Resistance
For indoor floor coating projects, epoxy is a good choice, but for floors facing heavy UV exposure, polyurea is a better alternative.
In short, polyurea is the premium choice for durability and UV-resistance, while epoxy is the more economical option for general-purpose floor protection.

FAQs
How long does polyurea floor coating last?
Well-installed polyurea floor coating can last up to 20+ years, with some high-quality alternatives expected to last 30-40+ years with minimal maintenance required. In the long-run, this makes it a better, long-term investment compared to epoxy or other coatings.
How quickly can I walk on a polyurea floor?
You can typically walk on a polyurea floor within hours of application. However, bear in mind that a full cure takes about seven days. This is much faster than epoxy, which needs several days before you can walk on it.
Can polyurea be applied over existing epoxy or concrete?
Yes, polyurea can be applied over both existing concrete and existing epoxy, but only if there’s proper surface preparation beforehand. This entails cleaning, grinding, and removing any contaminants so the polyurea can soak into the concrete floor rather than sitting on top of it.
Is polyurea floor coating slip-resistant?
Polyurea is not inherently slip-resistant in this raw form, but when applied with the right texture, i.e., chips, aggregates, and other slip-resistant materials, it’s known to provide a strong, durable, slip-resistant surface.
Does polyurea coating yellow in sunlight?
Well, it depends on the type of polyurea. Aromatic polyurea turns yellow when exposed to sunlight and, over time, will darken and discolour. Alternatively, aliphatic polyurea is highly UV-stable, so it does not turn yellow when exposed to sunlight. At ZOCOO, we use polyaspartic polyurea, which is aliphatic and UV-stable, meaning it will not yellow in sunlight.
