Floor System.
Choose the coating around the job. Build a polyaspartic finish with products matched to the base, working conditions and crew.
PolyStar PRO ST and PolyStarz Slow are separate product options. Select the complete path before planning the schedule.

Understand the build
Choose a product. Confirm the whole build.
A polyaspartic coating can be part of a decorative floor. The diagram separates the coating choice from the layers beneath it.
Decorative surface, if selectedOptional appearance
Compatible vinyl flake or specified finishInclude the decorative broadcast only when it forms part of the approved design; prepare it for the topcoat.
Specified compatible baseBase to specify
EpoxyStarz or an approved polyaspartic baseConfirm the product and decorative method. Do not assume the selected topcoat automatically replaces every base coat.
Moisture-control treatmentConditional step
AquaStop F.C. or E-96, when specifiedSelect one product after moisture testing and confirm its interface with the next coating.
Prepared concreteFoundation
Mechanical preparation; specified repairsEstablish sound, clean, profiled concrete. Evaluate moisture, cracks and joints before choosing the coating path.
PRO ST and PolyStarz Slow are not consecutive required coats. PolyStarz Slow is a topcoat, applied over a compatible base coat and decorative layer. No universal one-day installation or return-to-service time is promised.
Why this path?
A clear choice with a defined role.
Protect the selected surface.
Use a specified polyaspartic coating as the protective surface over a compatible base and decorative layer.
Match the product to the work.
Compare the current PRO ST and Slow technical sheets with your crew, material and site conditions. Product names alone do not set the schedule.
Coordinate the look below.
Flake describes a decorative look. Polyaspartic describes coating chemistry. Your selected floor can combine both.
Match the path to the project
Where does this path fit?
Spaces to discuss
- Garages and showrooms
- Retail and commercial interiors
- Compatible decorative broadcast floors
A tailored specification
- Warm or humid installation conditions
- Exterior and sun-exposed areas
- Wet traffic or chemical exposure
Resolve before coating
- Unresolved hydrostatic pressure
- Incompatible existing finishes
- Conditions outside the selected product limits
Application examples guide the specification discussion. Confirm the complete assembly and actual service conditions before product selection.
Products in the path
Know the role before ordering.
Choose PRO ST or Slow for the intended role. Do not combine or substitute products based only on their names.
Protective finish option
PolyStar PRO ST
A documented polyaspartic topcoat. Confirm sheen, texture and the base beneath it.
Alternative polyaspartic option
PolyStarz Slow
A separate product with its own technical sheet and application requirements.
Compatible base option
EpoxyStarz
An epoxy base option within a specified decorative path; it is not a mandatory layer in every polyaspartic build.
Before the first batch
Information for both sides of the job.
Installer planning
Select the product and coating roles
Name the base, decorative layer if any, and final coating in the written specification. Review the PRO ST or Slow TDS for each role; do not treat both products as mandatory layers.
Check the slab and site conditions
Record moisture results, substrate condition, material temperature and ambient conditions. Compare them with every product in the selected assembly.
Stage the crew and materials
Plan manageable batches, tools, application lanes and access before mixing. Working time and recoat time are different requirements and vary by product and conditions.
Prepare the broadcast and recoat surface
Where flake is included, prepare the cured broadcast as specified before topcoating. Follow the exact product’s recoat preparation, especially if the normal window has been missed.
Set the return-to-use schedule
Inspect the installed finish and give written instructions for foot traffic, vehicles, cleaning and chemical exposure. Base the schedule on the entire build, not a single tack-free value.
Owner & project guidance
Choose the look separately. Tell your installer whether you want flake, a clear finish or another approved appearance.
Ask what is in each coat. A useful proposal names the base, decorative material and final product.
Confirm the schedule. Ask when each type of use can resume. Repairs and moisture treatment can add work before the visible finish begins.
Discuss traction. Water, footwear and contamination affect traction. Approve the final texture for the use of the space.
Ask a system question ↗Technical resources
Use the current product documents.
Read the TDS for preparation and application, and the SDS for handling. Request written guidance when the complete assembly needs confirmation.

Common questions
Before you choose the path.
Get the products, project conditions and next steps clear before installation.
Is polyaspartic the same as a flake floor?
Polyaspartic is a coating chemistry; flake is a decorative broadcast. A flake floor can use a polyaspartic topcoat. Choose the appearance and then confirm the products that create and protect it.
Do I need both PRO ST and PolyStarz Slow?
They are separate product choices, not a required two-coat pair. Ask which product is specified for each role and follow that product’s current technical sheet.
Can every project be completed in one day?
No universal schedule applies. Preparation, repairs, moisture treatment, product choice and conditions affect installation and cure. Obtain a written schedule for the whole floor before planning access.
Can polyaspartic be applied directly to concrete?
U.S. Resin Supply polyaspartics are specified as topcoats over a compatible base coat, not as a direct-to-concrete primer. Confirm moisture acceptance, preparation, product role and the complete system with technical support.
Is every polyaspartic floor approved for outdoors?
Confirm exterior suitability for the exact product and complete assembly. Sunlight, moisture, drainage, temperature and traction requirements must all be considered; the chemistry name alone is not a project approval.
What cleaning routine should I use?
After full cure, remove grit regularly, clean spills promptly and use approved neutral cleaners and soft tools. Follow the maintenance requirements for the actual installed coating and texture.
