n-Amino Ethyl Piperazine: chemical resistance of ASP floors

How each ASP epoxy and polyurethane flooring product performed when fully immersed in n-amino ethyl piperazine, from ASP's chemical resistance guides (December 2022).

SummaryAt 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 n-amino ethyl piperazine

Which ASP floors resist n-amino ethyl piperazine (at 20°C)?

Is epoxy flooring resistant to n-amino ethyl piperazine?

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

Is polyurethane flooring resistant to n-amino ethyl piperazine?

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