Applications

The use of Polyurea Spray Coatings ranges from mining channels to sporting grounds. This type of spray meets the needs of a host of industries, such as:

  • Construction industry, for erosion protection, concrete surface protection and waterproofing.
  • Manufacturing industry, for surfaces protection.
  • Water industry, for storage tanks and pipeline corrosion protection.
  • Chemical industry, for processing vessels’ corrosion protection and chemical-resistant tank liners.
  • Concrete industry, to provide floor sealers, protective coatings, surface repair, or waterproof surfaces.
  • Military industry, for outdoor dwellings reinforcement.
  • Oil and gas and coal mining industries, for abrasion resistance and corrosion protection.
  • Floor protection and safety purposes. USFDA approved for kitchens and food containment. 

This list represents only a small sample of a large number of industry uses.  

Multiple Applications in a Single Market

Polyurea Spray Coatings can be used for different purposes even within a single market niche.

For instance, a railroad company may use one polyurea system to prevent an aggregate from damaging the surfaces of railcars on impact and use a different system to prevent corrosion of other metal surfaces.

Other functions include:

  • Enhancing the strength of a part or protecting surfaces from wear and tear, like in truck bed liners.
  • Waterproofing surfaces of a swimming pool or a reservoir.
  • Protective coatings for wood surfaces to prevent scuffing and scratching.
  • Reinforcing fabrics or padding for durability, such as roofing materials and military garments coatings.
  • Softening or hardening a surface, such as a tabletop, with a spray-on coating for a softer feel or improved impact resistance.
  • Protecting tunnel surfaces from impacts and blasts.
  • Providing environmental and rust protection for metal surfaces.

From small, spray coated fracking aggregates to large-spray coated mining or highway passages, there is a vast number of applications where polyurea spray coating systems are being used.

FAQ's

Does Polyurea have unlimited thickness?

 Polyurea can be applied from a 1mm thickness to 200mm, depending on your requirements.

What is the drying time?

 Professionally applied, the surface dries in 3 to 5 seconds, In the first 5 minutes the product achieves 90% its hardness and tensile strength. Within 24 hours, the product has achieved 100% of its curing requirements. 

What type of surface preparation is required?

 Polyurea requires a clean surface to bond to. The surface will require sand blasting, high pressure cleaning or acid etching prior to application. In some cases priming the substrate will also be required.

What type of chemical resistance does it provide?

 Polyurea is resistant to most solvents, acids, pool chlorine, auto fuel, diesel fuel, paints, bleaches organic solvents, fertilizers and much more. 

What type of bond does Polyurea adhere to?

 Polyurea can bond to most surfaces - steel, aluminum, timber, concrete,  fiberglass, rubber, polystyrene and plastic .
