Start a Profitable Business by Spraying Polyurethane
Spraying polyurethane may sound too complicated for the average person looking to start a new business…but it’s not. Instead, a couple of days of training will open a world of opportunity for getting a business started or adding revenue to an existing one. Dealers buy only products and equipment. There’s no royalties or franchise fees.
The variety of jobs available to polyurethane dealers is extensive. These can be broadly categorized into automotive and marine, construction, industrial, and manufacturing.
Truck bed liner spraying is probably the most well known of applications, but the same protective characteristics apply to trailers, boat decks and hulls, and commercial vehicles of all types.
There is also a wealth of spraying opportunities for both residential and commercial construction and industrial settings. For an example, a commercial floor cleaning business gains a lucrative advantage by offering protective and decorative floor coatings to customers, such as coating library entrances, courthouse steps, showrooms, warehouses, restaurant kitchen areas and more. General contractors add outdoor weather-proofing to decks, retaining walls, foundations and parking lots while landscape businesses offer specialty projects such as seamless, sprayed-in fish ponds, decorative pool decking and waterfalls and other unique features.

Add Lasting Protection to Outdoor Decks, Patios and More
Get pool decks, concrete patios and porches ready for summer! ArmorThane licensed dealers spray time-tested products that cover winter damage and bring new life to worn-down and aging outdoor surfaces. Polyurethane and polyurea chemical products form a permanent bond that protects for years.
Spray-on coatings are applied to both residential and commercial outdoor areas for low maintenance, waterproofing and slip resistance. Leaks and small imperfections are sealed with no cracking or settling after application. There is no need to frequently paint or stain like wood. These surfaces are quick to clean and require no power washing. They even resist chemical exposure.
Dealers access a variety of products that fit the job. Polyurethane and Polyurea Spray options are the toughest, most durable protective coatings for maximum weatherproofing and creating water barriers for multiple surfaces. ArmorFloor is especially designed for concrete surfaces and easy roll-on applications. ArmorShield provides the widest variety of decorative patterns, faux finishes and textures. This is a single component, waterborne polyurea containing recycled ground thermoset plastic.
Get a wide variety of aliphatic colors that won’t fade even in harsh weather and long hours of exposure to sunlight. UV stability prevents the need for repainting and retains the desired color for years.
ArmorThane products are perfect for other outdoor applications including parks, zoos, playgrounds, sporting arenas, docks, parking garages, ponds and much more.
ArmorThane Products Solve Secondary Containment and More
ArmorThane products prevent oil, fuel and chemical spills from creating environmental hazards, extensive property damage and potential personnel exposure. With the diversity of applications for our products, dealers are taking the Mobile Coatings Units into oil fields and industrial sites to contain a variety of materials.
This involves dealers building berms and trenches using geotextile materials such as soil, sand and gravel then spraying a coating of either polyurethane or polyurea. This has proven to be the best solution since concrete or metal containment can deteriorate over time and is more expensive than geotextile components.
ArmorThane recommends STS 300 polyurethane low pressure or HighLine 310 polyurea high pressure to deliver the hardest surfaces. High pressure equipment coats up to four gallons per minute, thus speeding up the process. An aliphatic polyurea version is available where long-term color retention is needed.
Another benefit of using these products is the ability to completely seal around wires, screws, pipes, tank feet and other structures within the containment area. The surface is easy to maintain including hosing off and blowing or vacuuming debris. Shape will not break down in harsh weather or high wear. It serves as a fluid-proof barrier that resists corrosion, cracking during settling and warping in extreme heat or cold.
Some of the current uses include secondary containment of surrounding oil production, chemical tanks, sewage treatment plants, pipelines, waste water reservoirs, ponds and pools. It is even safe for food processing areas and drinking water distribution.
ArmorThane Dealers Hit the Road in New Improved SUPER-SIZED Mobile Coating Units
As projects get bigger, so do the Mobile Coating Units (MCU). ArmorThane just completed a two-compartment trailer designed specifically for the new HighLine Series Spraying Equipment and the additional engine power required to run it.
Instead of the current one-compartment, 14 feet long trailers for Classic Series Spraying Equipment, these two-compartment models are 20 feet long.
The front compartment is the engine room, which will house the larger Kubota diesel generator, air compressor, and refrigerated air drying system. This reduces noise in the back spray staging area. Both areas are insulated and well-lit with separate work benches. The engine room is easily accessed by either an outside door or the spray staging area.
First delivery is going to a new dealer applying expanding foam insulation in Lubbock, Texas. Another dealer is upgrading to the more powerful HighLine equipment for secondary containment coatings for the oil industry in the Dallas/Fort Worth region.
