Among the competitive advantages of the composition, one should highlight its durability, an excellent indicator of elasticity, no shrinkage and resistance to moisture. After drying, a film is formed that does not lose its qualities under extreme temperature loads and under the influence of aggressive environmental factors.
- Polyurethane enamel - containing an abundance of special additives, the presence of which is designed to significantly improve the quality of adhesion of paint to work surfaces made of concrete or natural wood. It is noteworthy that such a mixture has increased resistance to chemical reagents and mechanical stress, therefore it is actively used in public and industrial premises. As for apartments and private houses, the use of polyurethane mixtures is impractical due to their high cost and the absence of heavy loads on the floor.
- Acrylic floor enamel - with the ability to form a wear-resistant film on the working surface, characterized by amazing elasticity. This mixture is successfully used for interior work, because there are no toxic components in its composition.

The presence of minor defects, small debris on them leads to excessive paint consumption, a decrease in the adhesion index, followed by film delamination, the appearance of bubbles and uneven shade.
