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 furfuryl alcohol
Which ASP floors resist furfuryl alcohol (at 20–25°C)?
Not resistant (0): ASP-primeStd, ASP-coat500, ASP-coat1000, ASP-coatSL, ASP-screedPTS, ASP-screedSTB, ASP-coatWBE and ASP-coatPU.
Is epoxy flooring resistant to furfuryl alcohol?
ASP's epoxy products are not rated excellent for furfuryl alcohol at the tested conditions. Check the table for shorter-term ratings, or consider the polyurethane or vinyl ester ranges.
Is polyurethane flooring resistant to furfuryl alcohol?
ASP's polyurethane products are not rated excellent for furfuryl alcohol at the tested conditions. Check the table for shorter-term ratings, or ask about vinyl ester systems.
