POLYUREA WATERPROOFING/ WEATHERPROOFING
THE COATINGS INDUSTRY'S
BEST WATERPROOFING MATERIAL
Polyurea is an advanced materials technology that reacts in situ to form a highly resistant, waterproof coating on the surface of a variety of structures. It’s renowned for its durable physical properties like high tensile strength and elongation, and for its versatility in formulation that allows polyurea technology to be engineered with specific properties. It’s highly resistant to most types of weathering and abrasion, including physical impacts, chemical corrosion, and UV radiation. Paired with their high moisture resistance and watertight seal, polyurea coatings are the coatings industry’s choice of waterproofing materials.
WHY CHOOSE POLYUREA
FOR WATERPROOFING?
Polyurea technology has earned its spot as the best waterproofing material for countless applications. Polyurea is highly durable and provides excellent surface protection, resisting strong impacts and harsh abrasion with ease. This also means that polyurea waterproofing materials will stand the test of time, with a high quality installation lasting for as long as several decades. Polyurea coatings are also easy to apply, and cure within minutes, turning what were potentially weeks-long waterproofing projects into a few days or less. Moreover, they’re also safer and more sustainable than alternative coating materials, as they’re 100% solids, and use no volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) or organic solvents. All of this combined with its high moisture resistance and watertight seal makes polyurea the best choice of waterproofing materials.
WALL-FLOOR COATINGS
FOR ADVANCED PROTECTION
Wall-floor interfaces, or the place where flooring meets the walls, are at significant risk of water infiltration. These junctures often have small cracks that allow water to easily compromise structural elements, and create an unhealthy environment that fosters dangerous microorganisms. This soup of water and microbes can even push under the trim and behind walls where they can continue to fester and cause that much more damage. Polyurea waterproofing materials can be used with chamfer molding to create a more robust seal that avoids this problem from the start. Wall-floor interfaces protected with polyurea are assured to reliably keep out moisture and bear the brunt of physical and chemical stress.
BASEMENTS, FOUNDATIONS, landscaping and more
Polyurea waterproofing materials can be applied almost anywhere, from basements and foundations, to water features or wall-floor crevices. Unlike many alternative coatings, polyurea is suitable for most environments thanks to its healthier and more eco-friendly chemical profile. They’re 100% solids, and use no VOCs, solvents, or other hazardous materials, which makes them perfect for outdoor use and suitable for contact without compromising human health. They’re robust resistance also means they’re ready to deal with the harsh conditions of any environment, including strong UV radiation, large temperature fluctuations, and frequent physical abrasion. So wherever they’re needed, polyurea waterproofing materials are the perfect solution for any waterproofing project.

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Polyurea coatings are among the best coating technologies for waterproofing surfaces to protect them from water damage. After application, polyurea coatings quickly cure to form a watertight barrier between the coated structure and the external environment. They provide robust protection from most types of weathering and abrasion, and effectively prevent harmful water intrusion and corrosion.
Both polyurea and polyurethane spray elastomer technology provide invaluable utility to countless industries. Polyurethane coatings are typically more cost-effective, and highly valued for their flexibility, but lack the same level of moisture resistance exhibited by polyurea. Polyurea is renowned for its high physical and chemical resistivity, which includes strong resistance to different types of water damage like corrosion or infiltration.
While it’s technically possible to install waterproofing polyurea coatings yourself, it’s strongly advised to partner with a coatings expert to carry out your installation. While polyurea is a safer and more sustainable material than many alternatives, it still poses health and safety risks during its application, and improper installation can be less effective and expensive to remediate.
POLYUREA WATERPROOFING
APPLICATION TYPES
Footbridge Waterproofing
By nature, footbridges are vulnerable to the elements. Attack from water, chemicals, and frost can lead to deterioration and loss of structural integrity areas.
Stadium Waterproofing
The waterproofing of world-class stadiums and stadium structural maintenance management are essential elements that guarantee the security of players, fans, and staff.
Plaza Deck Waterproofing
Plaza decks are created in multiple forms with many distinguishable names—To name a few, there are Roofs, Floors, Driveways, Courtyard, and even Vegetative decks.
Silo Sealing
Silos have been an integral part of the country for decades. These remarkable architectural designs are mainly used to store grain in optimal conditions to be used months after harvesting.
Manhole Rehabilitation
Polyurea linings serve as a practical and ideal solution to manhole rehabilitation. They can be molded to the shape of the existing structure.
Basement Waterproofing
