Sodium Chloride Solution: chemical resistance of ASP floors
How each ASP epoxy and polyurethane flooring product performed when fully immersed in sodium chloride solution, from ASP's chemical resistance guides (December 2022).
SummarySaturated at 20–25°C: excellent for ASP-primeStd, ASP-coat500, ASP-coat1000, ASP-coatSL, ASP-screedPTS, ASP-screedSTB, ASP-coatWBE, ASP-creteSL, ASP-creteMD, ASP-creteRT, ASP-creteVS and ASP-coatPU.

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 sodium chloride solution
Which ASP floors resist sodium chloride solution (saturated at 20–25°C)?
Rated 5 (excellent, no significant deterioration after long-term contact): ASP-primeStd, ASP-coat500, ASP-coat1000, ASP-coatSL, ASP-screedPTS, ASP-screedSTB, ASP-coatWBE, ASP-creteSL, ASP-creteMD, ASP-creteRT, ASP-creteVS and ASP-coatPU.
Is epoxy flooring resistant to sodium chloride solution?
Some ASP epoxy systems are rated excellent for sodium chloride solution at saturated at 20–25°C. Check the exact concentration and temperature in the table, as ratings change with both.
Is polyurethane flooring resistant to sodium chloride solution?
Some ASP polyurethane systems are rated excellent for sodium chloride solution at saturated at 20–25°C.
