Residential vs Commercial Epoxy Systems
Same chemistry, different specs. Commercial systems are engineered around wheel loads, chemicals and downtime.
Film Thickness
Commercial builds are thicker to handle abrasion, wheel loads and forklifts.
Chemistry
Novolac or chemical-resistant resins appear in commercial and industrial specs; residential garages rarely need them.
Downtime
Commercial specs often use fast-cure polyaspartic topcoats to compress downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a commercial system in my garage?
Yes — it's usually overkill for weight but excellent for chemical resistance and longevity.
Is a residential system OK for a small shop?
For light retail, sometimes. For chemical or forklift traffic, no.
