Polyaspartic technology is the newest of the three. A patent was issued to Bayer Material Science now Covestro in the early 1990’s. It was originally introduced into the transportation market to increase solids content in polyurethane coatings. Later it was introduced into the corrosion protection market on metal substrates to speed up the cure time.
Then, Jack Bracco with a small innovative start-up company, Flexmar Coatings, introduced the technology to the concrete floor market at the World of Concrete in year 2006 in Las Vegas. It was the world’s newest technology and was ideal for the flooring market because it could be applied in one day, cure quickly and still return to service that same day. We coined the term “1 Day Floor” installation. We could possibly break the epoxy paradigm. We were named a Most Innovative Product award the following year 2007.
