Ratings come from 30 × 30 mm samples cast at each product's prescribed thickness, cured for 7 days and fully submerged at 20–25°C. On a real floor, a spill only touches the surface, so performance is usually better. Elevated temperatures accelerate chemical attack. How to read these ratings.

Questions about 2-diethylaminoethanol

Which ASP floors resist 2-diethylaminoethanol (at 20–25°C)?

See the table for ratings at this condition.

Is epoxy flooring resistant to 2-diethylaminoethanol?

ASP's epoxy products are not rated excellent for 2-diethylaminoethanol at the tested conditions. Check the table for shorter-term ratings, or consider the polyurethane or vinyl ester ranges.

Is polyurethane flooring resistant to 2-diethylaminoethanol?

ASP's polyurethane products are not rated excellent for 2-diethylaminoethanol at the tested conditions. Check the table for shorter-term ratings, or ask about vinyl ester systems.
