Diethylene Triamine: chemical resistance of ASP floors

How each ASP epoxy and polyurethane flooring product performed when fully immersed in diethylene triamine, from ASP's chemical resistance guides (December 2022).

Summary100% at 20°C: no product rated excellent; not resistant: ASP-primeStd, ASP-coat500, ASP-coat1000, ASP-coatSL, ASP-screedPTS, ASP-screedSTB and ASP-coatWBE.

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 diethylene triamine

Which ASP floors resist diethylene triamine (100% at 20°C)?

Is epoxy flooring resistant to diethylene triamine?

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

Is polyurethane flooring resistant to diethylene triamine?

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