A resinous coating is a type of protective finish that is made from resin. Resin is a polymer material that is used to make a variety of products, including adhesives, coatings, and plastics. 

Resinous coatings are typically used to protect surfaces from damage and wear, and they are known for their durability and resistance to water, chemicals, and other types of damage. Resinous coatings can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including concrete, wood, metal, and plastic. 

They are often used in industrial and commercial settings, as well as in residential applications. Some common types of resinous coatings include epoxy, polyaspartic, and polyurethane.

The lifespan of a resin coating can vary depending on the specific application and the conditions to which it is exposed. In general, resin coatings can last for several years, with some industrial and commercial applications lasting up to 10 years or more. Factors that can affect the lifespan of a resin coating include exposure to UV light, chemicals, and abrasion, as well as the quality of the surface preparation and application. It is also important to note that resin coating may need to be periodically recoated or resealed to maintain its protection and appearance. 

Resinous floors, which include epoxy, polyaspartic and polyurethane floors, can deteriorate over time due to a variety of factors. Here are some common causes of resinous floor deterioration:

1. Excessive UV exposure: Resinous floors that are exposed to UV light can yellow and become brittle over time.

2. Chemical exposure: Exposure to certain chemicals, such as solvents, acids, and alkalis, can cause the floor to degrade or discolor.

3. Abrasion: Heavy foot traffic and the dragging of heavy objects across the floor can cause abrasion and wear down the surface of the floor.

4. Moisture: Excess moisture under the concrete can cause to push the floor coating above and force to delaminate or become stained.

5. Temperature: Exposure to extreme temperatures, such as hot and cold, can cause the floor to shrink or expand, resulting in cracking and other forms of damage. It is also known as thermal shock.

6. Impact and mechanical damage: hitting the floor with blunt force with hard object can damage the coating. Also, using machinery and equipment that vibrate excessively can also cause damage to the floor concrete underneath.

7. Improper installation: If the floor is not installed correctly, it can cause issues such as bubbles, cracking and delaminating. 

8. Improper maintenance: Not following the proper maintenance procedures, like using wrong cleaning solutions, not cleaning frequently enough, or not resealing the floor regularly can cause the floor to deteriorate.

It's important to note that the cause of deterioration can also be due to combination of above-mentioned factors. Regular inspection and preventive maintenance can help prolong the life of the floor.

Even though resin floors are known for their durability and easy maintenance. Here are a few ways to maintain resinous floors:

1. Regular cleaning: Use a dust mop or vacuum to remove dirt and debris on a regular basis. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp mop with a mild detergent.

2. Spot cleaning: For spills or stains, clean them up immediately with a mild detergent and water.

3. Avoid abrasive materials: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the epoxy surface.

4. Apply sealer: Apply a sealer to the epoxy floor to protect it from scratches and stains.

5. Avoid dragging heavy objects: To prevent scratches, avoid dragging heavy objects across the epoxy floor.

6. Keep high traffic area waxed: to maintain the shine and prevent from wear and tear, high traffic areas should be periodically waxed

7. Watch for signs of damage: Inspect the epoxy floor regularly for signs of damage, such as cracks or chips, and repair them as soon as possible.

It is good practice to follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for cleaning and maintenance of the floor.

Epoxy is a types of resin, but they have distinct chemical and physical properties that make them suitable for different applications.

Epoxy is a thermosetting plastic that is made up of two parts: the resin and the hardener. When these two parts are mixed together, they react to form a highly durable and strong material. Epoxy is often used as a coating for floors, walls, and other surfaces because of its excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, as well as its ability to bond strongly to a variety of surfaces. It also has a high heat resistance and a high level of electrical insulation.

Polyurethane, on the other hand, is a type of polymer that is made up of a chain of repeating units. It is known for its flexibility and resilience and can be used to make a wide variety of products, including flexible foams, elastomers, and coatings. Polyurethane coatings are known for their excellent abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and flexibility, making it a good choice for applications where the substrate will be subject to movement or impact. They are also used as a sealant and insulation.

In summary, epoxy is generally harder, more abrasion resistant, and is generally used as a coating, while polyurethane is more flexible, resilient, and is generally used to make a wide variety of products including coatings, sealant and insulation.

Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea, which is a polymer made from the reaction of an isocyanate and an amine. Polyaspartic is a 100% solids, aliphatic polyurea, which means it is a clear, UV-stable and durable coating system. It is known for its rapid curing properties and excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. Polyaspartic coatings are often used as a topcoat in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. They are typically applied over concrete or other surfaces to provide a durable, long-lasting finish.
