Polyurea is a type of elastomer that is formed by the reaction of an isocyanate with an amine blend. It is a fast-setting material that cures rapidly and forms a tough, flexible, and waterproof layer. Polyurea is also resistant to chemicals, UV radiation, abrasion, and impact. Its excellent adhesion properties make it a good choice for surface protection, including metal, concrete, and wood. Polyurea coatings have been used in various applications such as industrial flooring, bridge decks, roofs, and tank linings, but can they be used for water park protection?
Hybrid Polyurea: As the name suggests, hybrid polyurea is a combination of polyurea and other coatings such as polyurethane, epoxy, and polyaspartic. It is highly versatile and can be customized to suit different needs, such as UV resistance, gloss, or color. Hybrid polyurea coatings are commonly used in commercial settings, such as warehouses, hospitals, and retail stores.
Aliphatic Polyurea: This type of polyurea is highly resistant to UV exposure, making it suitable for exterior applications. It is a blend of polyurea and aliphatic polyurethane, which gives it its UV-resistant properties. Polyurea hybrid aliphatic coatings are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and recreational vehicle industries.
Aromatic Polyurea: This type of polyurea has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. Unlike polyurea hybrid aliphatic, it is not UV resistant, making it suitable for indoor applications. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial settings, such as factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants.
Polyurea Topcoats: Polyurea topcoats are used to protect the underlying polyurea coating from UV exposure, abrasion, and chemical exposure. These topcoats are available in both aliphatic and aromatic forms, depending on the intended use. Polyurea topcoats are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and architectural applications.
