Protect Commercial and Industrial Vehicles with Polyurea and Polyurethane Technology
EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
Fleet trucks and those who drive them are the unsung heroes of modern societies. They’re responsible for transporting people and goods that support almost every part of our daily lives, from the food we eat to the homes that keep us safe and comfortable. Coming in all different shapes and sizes, the industrial and commercial vehicles behind professional fleets range from small utility vehicles with limited capabilities to monstrous construction vehicles that have all the bells and whistles. Regardless of what type of vehicles you rely on, or where you’re operating out of, your fleet will have to withstand the wear and tear of regular, often strenuous use. To help shield against life on the road, polyurea and polyurethane fleet truck coatings can be used to provide full-vehicle protection, or reinforce components experiencing the bulk of the strain.

TECHNOLOGY
Fleet trucks operate day and night, and all across the world; in hot and dry deserts, wet and humid coastlines, snowy and treacherous mountainscapes, and everywhere in between. To effectively extend the life of your commercial vehicles, fleet truck coatings must be engineered to withstand a wide spectrum of different hazards, and be compatible with several key substrate materials. For the highest-performing and most versatile coatings technology, look no further than polyurea and polyurethane. Both materials possess a similar chemical structure, and exhibit comparable physical properties, although with several notable differences. Polyurethane was the first of the two materials to be developed, and has been one of the world’s most prolific elastomers, used in countless different applications. It’s durable and highly flexible, and can be applied as a spray foam perfect for building insulation and soundproofing. However, polyurethane isn’t as strong as other protective coatings, nor is it very moisture resistant. For this reason, polyurea was engineered on the back of polyurethane’s initial success, used in many of the same applications, but built for wet and strenuous environments. Together, they can be used in parallel to create the ultimate coatings systems, combining their complementary features for fleet truck coatings that can easily shrug off harsh abrasion, forceful impacts, chemical corrosion, UV radiation, and beyond. In other words, polyurea and polyurethane make for the ultimate fleet truck coatings! Don’t believe us? Here are just some of the many benefits of polyurea and polyurethane fleet truck coatings:
- Scratch and Dent Resistant
- Minimizes Chipping and Fractures
- Anti-Corrosion
- Convenient Repair Solution
- Slip Reduction and Anti-Skid Functionality
- Customizable Colors to Match OEM Specs or Personal Preferences
- UV ColorCoat Stability
- Permanent Logos, Contact Info, Instructions, and Warnings
- Absorbs Vibrations for Safer and Quieter Rides
ENDLESS APPLICATIONS
When we say polyurea and polyurethane fleet truck coatings can work for almost any vehicle, we mean it! Their application using high-pressure spray equipment means that they can easily install uniform layers on almost any part or component, including spray beds, tanks, hoppers, fenders, and bumpers. Moreover, they’re also compatible with nearly every common substrate material, including glass, metal, plastic, and even wood. Additionally, they’re not only suitable for both interior and exterior use, but it’s actually recommended, providing full-vehicle protection in one fell swoop. Here are a small subset of the endless list of applications for polyurea and polyurethane fleet truck coatings:
- Chemical Carriers
- Cargo and Passenger Rail Cars
- School and Public Buses
- Mining Equipment
- Food Trucks and Vendor Carts
- Tractors and Trailers
- Military Transport Vehicles
- Dump Trucks
- Emergency Vehicles
- Construction Machinery
- Farm Equipment
- Utility Vehicles
- Water Tanks
- Fuel Transport Vehicles

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The cost of protecting your industrial and commercial vehicles depends on the size, type, and quantity of vehicles being coated. Regardless, the cost of applying robust fleet truck coatings can pale in comparison to the money saved in maintenance and repair costs, making them a cost-effective long term solution.
Fleet truck coatings can offer comprehensive full-vehicle protection, but may also be used locally to reinforce specific high-risk components. Whether internally or externally, covering every square inch, or only exactly where it’s needed, polyurea and polyurethane fleet truck coatings are highly versatile, and ready for almost any project.
Polyurea and polyurethane are often considered sister materials; they possess similar chemical structures, and exhibit many of the same properties and behaviors. However, polyurea is the stronger, more moisture-resistant of the two materials, and is typically chosen over polyurethane. However, the two materials can be used in parallel for the ultimate protective coatings system.
