Epoxy Paint vs MONOTEK® Flooring
When it comes to epoxy floors we are often asked “What is the difference with epoxy really? Aren't epoxy paints/resins and all other flooring systems basically the same?” In fact, often customers believe that all resin based flooring systems are known generically as an “epoxy floor”.
Here are some common questions and major differences between conventional epoxy paints and MONOTEK® MMA flooring.

Can the MONOTEK® flooring really be back to full service & traffic, one (1) hour after final application? | YES | NO |
As compared to epoxy flooring / paint, is MONOTEK® flexible & resilient? | YES | NO |
Unlike epoxy flooring / paint, do successive layers chemically bond to each even after 48 hours, without the need to abrade the surface? | YES | NO |
Can your MONOTEK® flooring system be applied at low ambient temperatures or even below freezing? | YES | NO |
Can your non-epoxy MMA flooring be repaired and resurfaced quickly, even when it has been laid some time ago? | YES | NO |
