  Mining Equipment:

Mines are among the harshest, most unforgiving work environments. Vehicles and facilities are constantly exposed to the effects of corrosion, abrasion and constant impact. All of this abuse takes a damaging toll on unprotected mining equipment. The result is reduced service life, increased downtime, and high maintenance costs. Polyurea coatings will help protect a mine's equipment and improve its operating efficiency:

• Vibrating screen decks 

• Vibrating bowls

• Spiral chutes

• Mine loading pads

• Mine hopper bins 

• Battery trays for mining vehicles

• Vehicle protection (corrosion control, salt control)

• Dump trucks (Small ore, not large rocks)

• Scoops

• Mine conveyor belts

• Insulated foam roofs

• Insulated tanks​

Benefits:

• Reduces maintenance costs,

• Repairs and equipment downtime

• Increases personnel safety and productivity

• Adds years of life to any surface

• Shields against abrasion, impacts and abuse from the elements

• Protects from corrosion

• Flexible formulations adhere to almost any substrate regardless of shape or size and can flex and expand. 

  Wastewater Treatment Linings:

If it can corrode, fail, or leak, it will. That’s why numerous water and wastewater treatment facilities globally have chosen polyurea coatings as their protection solution.

For this type of application, we use a specialized polyurea made specifically for wastewater. It offers excellent stability for immersion applications and chemical resistance. It has a superior rigid formulation with the highest amount of molecular cross-linking. This polyurea provides excellent corrosion resistance and will not deteriorate from most chemical attacks and is ideal for wastewater treatment facilities. 

The Marvelshield 395-PW series of products are specially formulated to meet the NSF/ANSI 61 potable water standard. Their excellent flexibility resists impact damage and is an ideal solution for corrosion and abrasion resistance.

  Flooring and Parking Decks:

Polyurea flooring systems are most popular for their rapid turnaround installation capabilities. Other benefits are available with polyurea flooring systems as well. Polyurea’s are very durable and great for use in areas of high traffic. They are used in clean/dirty rooms as a waterproofing and protective coating from daily pressure cleaning operations. Polyurea can be formulated to be flexible and resilient allowing the flooring system to protect objects that may fall upon them.

  Roof Coating

Polyurea coatings make an excellent protective covering for polyurethane foam roofs. Polyurea can be formulated to meet specific performance requirements due the wide range of physical properties that can be formulated. These reflective coatings can help reduce the amount energy consumption buildings use for heating and cooling. The fast cure time and insensitivity to moisture allows for a quicker installation with a wider application window. Proper surface preparation and substrate condition is always necessary. 

  Liquid Storage and Containment:

Polyurea is resistant to many fuels and chemicals. It is commonly used in fuel

pits and pipeline secondary containment. Polyurea is not resistant to all 

chemicals and necessary compatibility tests and surface preparation are

always required. 

  Pipe / Pipeline Coatings & Linings:

Polyurea Coatings and linings are increasingly being used to protect steel pipes from corrosion. Polyurea has demonstrated its ability to last longer than paint and maintenance services and costs are reduced. Polyurea is a great protective coating system for pipes that are insulated with polyurethane foam. Polyurea’s are also being used to line the inside of water and sewer pipes for infrastructure rehabilitation work. 

  Bridge, Rail, & Tunnel Coatings:

Polyurea’s ability to outlast paint and fight off corrosion is a major reason these systems are being specified for bridge deck and structure coating by State DOT’s around the nation. The most common applications of polyurea coatings on bridges are over steel and concrete. 

  Tank Coatings and Linings:

Polyurea coatings protect steel tanks from corrosion, chemicals, and other natural weather and jobsite elements. With proper surface preparation, substrate condition, formulation choice, primers, and installation procedures, polyurea goes on fast and stays on long. Polyurea’s are great for extending the life of older tanks and can offer limited structural characteristics as well. These systems can be applied during primary construction or in a retrofit environment. Polyurea linings are resistant to many chemicals and industrial liquids. With their fast application advantages and ability to adhere to properly prepared substrates, polyurea’s are ideal for new storage tank primary lining and rehabilitation projects. 

  Railcar Lining and Track Containment:

Polyurea’s are commonly used to line liquid containment railcars for their waterproofing and chemical resistance benefits. Hopper style rail cars have benefited from the strength of polyurea and its ability to resist abrasion. These cars often carry coal, sand, and other abrasive materials. Polyurea can be applied quickly and it will last longer than many other conventional systems if properly applied.

  Marine:

Above the water line and below, polyurea can be very effective in protecting steel, aluminum, and fiberglass in a variety of water sport and commercial marine applications. From sound attenuation for fishing canoes, to fish hold liners, to hull protection and bilge liners, polyurea’s are used in many abrasion, chemical and corrosion resistant marine applications. 

  Manhole and Sewer Linings:

Polyurea manhole lining is a rapidly growing market due to polyurea’s ability to solve many current issues with groundwater infiltration and installation speed. Many municipal and private water systems are in great need of lining and structural repair. With proper surface preparation and substrate conditions, primers and Polyurea can be applied fast to return the cavity to service faster than most competitive systems. Polyurea’s ability to form a monolithic, durable liner protects the cavity from sediment and groundwater infiltration into municipal wastewater systems. 

  Waterparks & Playgrounds:

Molded slides, protective coating of seats for wet/dry amusement rides, tank linings, water containment, aquariums, concrete stadium seats are just a few of the many applications polyurea’s are commonly used for in the amusement and theme park industry. Polyurea’s usage is rapidly growing in applications to replace paint and fiberglass due its fast cure and ability to reduce maintenance cycles. 

  Landscape and Water Containment:

Landscape designers and contractors have found similar benefits with polyurea. Polyurea is often used to contain water for ponds and pool decorations to form a primary containment liner. Use of geotextile material is common when applying polyurea over dirt. Proper surface condition is vital when applying over concrete and most other substrates. 

  Truck Bed Linings:

Polyurea truck bed liners form a durable, water and air-tight, permanent liner for the exterior of pick-up trucks, dump trucks and steel containers. These durable, easy to clean and abrasion resistant liners protect utility trucks from their harsh duty environments. They also protect against rust and corrosion from damaging trucks and containers. Polyurea liners can also be applied in varied thickness to meet any specific application demand. Sprayed on truck bed liners are available in many colors and can be wrapped over the top edge of the truck bed to provide added protection from impact and abrasion. 

  Architectural Design:

Polyurea has much the same uses in architectural design as it does in theme park applications. Polyurea is used as a protective coating over foam, EPS and other structures to create ornamental building fascia, themed characters, artificial rocks, pools and environments. There are many uses for movie set and theater stage design as well.
