TS210 vs. Coval Concrete

[countrysquire]

New 45’x40’ shop, foundation power troweled to a nice smooth finish. I realize that TS210 and Coval are different products and technologies, but I think either will give me what I’m looking for, the look of polished concrete and some protection from oil and chemical spills. The floor will rarely see drips from a wet car, which I understand is the Achille’s heel of TS210.

It looks like the TS210 is about half the price of the Coval, but will pay the extra if it is worth it.

I doubt anyone has used both products who can directly compare them, but would appreciate any opinion of any users.

We haven't had a chance to test out Coval yet, but we understand that it's a fairly good coating. We did test and review TS210, however, and came away very impressed. Particularly with the ease of application and how well it performed. I will link to our review below.

I'm not sure where you got the information that water drops are the Achilles' heel of TS210, though. It performs very well concerning water drops and water in general, providing it's not submerged or exposed to water that sits for very long periods. This is true of most thin mil coatings. Examples would be water that gets trapped under a rubber mat for days at a time or areas that incur regular flooding from rainstorms.

If regular cleaning maintenance of the floor is performed, you shouldn't have any issues with water drops. You might want to check out this thread here on the GJ from a gentleman who documented his installation. He gave a performance report along with before and after pics when he had a cracked oil filter housing that leaked oil on the floor for a while, combined with snowmelt. He eventually cleaned it up, and the floor looked like the first day he installed TS210.

I hope that helps

Thanks Shea, it was the rep at Concrete Sealers telling me that prolonged exposure to water can cause the TS210 to flake off. They definitely don’t make claims about their products that they won’t stand behind and want you to understand their product’s capabilities before selling it to you.

Looks like the TS210 does everything I’m looking for, so that’s the direction I’m going.

Have not used or researched TS210, but I did use Coval. Still happy with it so far, about 1 year later.

Just for information on water damage concerns. The back for on my shop leaks and then the wavy floor holds water in a pool after the big rains. To make it worse there was a carbide box here holding water as a you can see in the last two pics before and after cleaning. This was water under the cardboard and no damage to the TS210 coating. Seems nice so far.

If protection is what you are mainly concerned about, take a look at our SPGX one part Polyurea. Gives the look but with incredible topical protection.
