UV-stable floor coatings
Epoxy yellows in sunlight, so floors that see daylight are finished with a UV-stable coat: polyaspartic PA300 and PA330, polyurethane PU100 and Polyglaze NY, or Hycrete PU-TC Solar over polyurethane cement.

FAQs about UV-stable floor coatings
Why does a floor in sunlight need a UV-stable coat?
Epoxy yellows in sunlight. A UV-stable coat keeps the colour: PA300 and PA330 polyaspartics are non-yellowing, and PU100 will not yellow in direct sunlight.
Which clear coat goes over a flake floor outdoors?
PA Glaze 5 or Hyglaze HS: both contain UV blockers, suit interior and exterior use, go over standard flake finishes in a single coat and are recoatable in 4–6 hours.
Is there a UV-stable option over polyurethane cement?
Hycrete PU-TC Solar, a high-build coloured polyurethane coating with improved UV resistance, resistant to organic acids, fats, oils and solvents, with a semi-gloss finish.

Polyaspartic vs epoxy flooring: the difference
Short answer: epoxy builds a thick, chemical-resistant floor at a lower cost; polyaspartic cures in hours and does not yellow in sunlight.
Meeting the demands of the automotive industry
Motor workshops are a demanding environment, with the floor subject to damage by frequent heavy traffic, oil and chemicals, and impacts.
Carpark sealing with old school epoxy – still can’t be beaten
When sourcing the concrete sealant for a two-storey carpark at Sydney’s new Barangaroo South development, Lend Lease chose a two-part epoxy which after 30 years is still the best on the market.
