Key point
Epoxy is often considered for suitable stable substrates; polyurethane offers flexible system options; PMMA can support restricted curing windows. The complete specification matters more than the chemistry label.

Epoxy
Often considered for durable finishes on stable suitable substrates. Rigid systems need careful assessment where movement or waterproofing is part of the brief.
Polyurethane
Available in flexible and crack-bridging deck systems. Exposure, layer build-up and wearing surface determine the suitability of a particular specification.
PMMA
Fast-curing options can help with short closures. Confirm temperature limits, ventilation, odour controls and the complete system’s technical requirements.
Specification evidence
Request current technical data for the proposed complete system. Confirm the relevant preparation method, moisture limits, movement capability, layer build-up, surface texture, application conditions and return-to-service requirements before installation.
