What is the difference between polyurethane varnish and acrylic, which is better

In order to make the concrete surface more durable, a special varnish is often used. However, in order to decide on a hardener, it is necessary first of all to study all the disadvantages and advantages. And the choice is often between polyurethane and acrylic varnish. So which one to choose?

Acrylic varnish is a liquid containing acrylic resins and other additives. The varnish has good decorative and protective properties. It is often used to protect the surface or improve the quality of decorative finishes. It is most applicable for various wooden surfaces.

As for polyurethane lacquers, they have better water resistance and have a dielectric capacity. They can also be used for wooden surfaces, but in this case they are more susceptible to temperature changes than acrylic varnish. 

Differences between acrylic and polyurethane varnish

The main difference between acrylic and polyurethane varnish is in the composing components of the materials: a krill varnish is made on the basis of an acrylic emulsion, polyurethane based on polyurethane. For example, acrylic and polyurethane varnishes have high strength, abrasive resistance and resistance to chemical substances.It is necessary to wash the varnish depending on the surface to be treated.Depending on the technical characteristics of varnishes, the cost of the material may differ by 3 or even 4 times. 

If it is necessary to protect the concrete or cement surface, the most optimal option would be to apply acrylics of highly effective shockproof multifunctional varnish for concrete Teknocila 300. It is used to provide better protection and insulation of any concrete surfaces.

The main advantages of Teknocila 300 acrylic lacquer

Teknocila 300 acrylic lacquer is perfect for working on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. It perfectly protects concrete structures, thereby extending their life span. And you can use such a varnish in any climate.

If we talk about the main advantages, we can distinguish the following:easy to use:

  • increasing the wear resistance of the treated 
    surfaces
  • fast drying time
  • providing a shiny smooth surface appearance
  • preventing color changes from external factors (sun, etc.)
  • ensuring the waterproofness of the surface.


High-quality material provides maximum surface protection only when it is applied correctly. Therefore, in order to achieve the best result, it is extremely important to strictly follow the instructions for use and safety measures. It should be remembered that when hit the varnish on the skin may cause irritation. Therefore, to work with such material, you should wear protective gloves, a mask and glasses. In addition, acrylic varnish should be used away from any fire source to prevent ignition.

Following the instructions and applying the varnish correctly will make the concrete surface stronger and more resistant to external factors, as well as give a more attractive appearance.
