Polyurea Floor Coating and Brewing

[mwsenoj]

I've been researching the best way to coat my new concrete floored addition, a bedroom and laundry room (read: brewing clean up room with a drain!) and I think I am going to go with a polyurea coating from Legacy Industrial called Nohr-S Polyurea Coating. Has anyone used this very coating in a brewing environment, or maybe some other company's polyurea? I have found some conflicting information on wether it is good for an application where I might be spilling starsan or PBW along with possible fermentation byproducts.

I would email the manufacturer and ask about spilling things with a pH of 3 or so and how it would react...

Anybody tried epoxy flooring? last month I visited my friend in Fl, he had a special epoxy flooring there which is resistant from stains and have a nice finish. He told me that he attained it by mixing epoxy and other chemicals in a specific ratio to achieve this finishing.
I am always having issues with dust even though I am using an underground brewery.

He told me that this one is chemically inert and is very much easy to clean

He referred me this page for that epoxy-urethane mixed coating .
but I don't know that ration of mixing

I would go for Polyurethane...
On offshore platforms is the topcoat of choice..
Primers are epoxy though...

On concrete I'd go with a self-leveling epoxy or 3 or more coats of thin-film epoxy. Nice thing about epoxy is that you can repair it cheaply and effectively when it gets damaged (and sorry, but it will get damaged, especially in higher traffic areas).

Polyurea... way more expensive PITA.

Polyurethane is unnecessary in an interior setting unless you have big windows with lots of sunlight. Epoxy degrades in UV light but in interior settings it will last for 100 years if done right.

Surface preparation is the absolute most important thing. You don't want to just slap this stuff down on a dirty smooth surface. A roughened surface and pristine cleanliness will make your floor last forever. If you don't know how to do that, hire a contractor who can.

Cheers.

The polyurea wasn't hard to put in at all. Two coats with a long knap roller. The off gas was pretty bad and we had to sleep at my parents house even though we did the work in one room that was closed off by a door with no gaps.

I have a ton of windows in my room that give direct sunlight, but I know you don't.

For God's sake, don't scare me like that!which one is best?
