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 methyl glycol acetate
Which ASP floors resist methyl glycol acetate (at 20–25°C)?
See the table for ratings at this condition.
Is epoxy flooring resistant to methyl glycol acetate?
ASP's epoxy products are not rated excellent for methyl glycol acetate at the tested conditions. Check the table for shorter-term ratings, or consider the polyurethane or vinyl ester ranges.
Is polyurethane flooring resistant to methyl glycol acetate?
ASP's polyurethane products are not rated excellent for methyl glycol acetate at the tested conditions. Check the table for shorter-term ratings, or ask about vinyl ester systems.
