Urethanes can be one of the most versatile and durable topcoats available. Thats why Tennant offers a wide variety of urethanes to choose from, each providing benefits to help tailor a floor coating system that is specific for your facility and operation needs.

Select from a wide variety of color pigment options that can be added to our urethane products in order to achieve the design and color scheme of your choice. Custom color options are also available.

Some of Tennant’s urethanes already provide slight texture with a satin finish. However in order to achieve the necessary traction in high risk slip and fall areas, grit additives can be broadcasted into the urethane topcoats.

Why would I need a urethane topcoat on an epoxy floor system?

When it comes to flooring, performance and lifespan are the two most important factors. While epoxies certainly offer both, urethane topcoats are typically tougher than epoxies. These products can help increase the protection for a floor coating system, increasing both performance and lifespan, as well as the value of your investment.

• Resistance to:

• Harsh chemicals, acids, oils, solvents and grease

• Abrasions and scratches

• UV exposure, so it will not yellow over time

They are available in satin and high-gloss finishes. Additionally, many come in both colors as well as clear, so any intricate design or branding you have as part of your epoxy finish can be imbedded within the floor and shine through.

Most are also low odor and low VOC, with LEED credits available.

Minimal Downtime, Too

Time to cure depends on various environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, air movement, and others.

For those facilities that need to be up and running more quickly—or can tolerate no downtime whatsoever—two of our eight urethanes offer extremely fast-curing solutions:

• A thick-coat polyaspartic topcoat that allows for foot traffic within hours of application

• A UV-cured urethane that cures instantly with UV light, providing a clear, satin finish
