Commercial Use

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.

Polyureas 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.

With their fast cure times, they are ideal for retrofit since downtime is significantly minimized compared to some competing materials.

Mil-Spec Polyurea Material’s ability to maintain its physical characteristics under long-term sun and sea exposure and resist marine borers makes it an ideal product for coating Naval and Industrial ships, piers, offshore oil rigs, and other marine applications.

Polyurea Bridge 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 DOTs around the nation. The most common applications of polyurea coatings on bridges are over steel and concrete.

Polyureas 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.

Polyurea 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.

Polyurea coatings make an excellent protective covering for polyurethane foam roofs. Polyurea can be formulated to meet specific performance requirements due to the wide range of physical properties that can be formulated. Some systems have the “Cool Roof” ENERGY STAR® rating for color and reflectivity.

These reflective coatings can help reduce the amount of energy consumption buildings use for heating and cooling. The fast cure time and insensitivity to moisture allow for a quicker installation with a wider application window. Proper surface preparation and substrate condition are always necessary.

Polyurea Landscaping

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. The use of geotextile material is common when applying polyurea over dirt. Proper surface condition is vital when applying over concrete and most other substrates.
