Both substances are thermosetting polymers widely used in coating industrial floorings such as food and pharmaceuticals to comply with FDA regulations.
Epoxy binds tightly to floors, giving them a durable and shock-resistant coating. Epoxy is the coating of choice for floors constantly subjected to machinery impact or heavy traffic. Epoxy is also more resistant to chemicals than urethane. If your floors are always at risk for acid or base chemical spills, then epoxy is the clear winner.
Meanwhile, urethane beats epoxy in UV and heat resistance, making it the clear choice for floors that are exposed to direct sunlight. It also tends to cure more quickly than epoxy, albeit by a small margin.
Both options provide floors with a shiny appearance, but epoxy still wins in the aesthetics department. While urethane also comes in plenty of colors, there is a myriad of designs to play with using epoxy. For instance, you can give your floors more dimension by adding metallic particles.
