Can Polyurea be Used for Water Park Protection?

    How Can Polyurea Be Used For Water Park Protection?

    BETTER PROTECTION FOR MORE FUN IN THE SUN

    If you’re anything like us, water parks are a family favorite on a hot summer day. There’s something for everyone! Water slides, diving boards, and lazy rivers for the kids (and dad too), and a little rest and relaxation for parents and siblings who are now officially too tall to ride that ride. However, for water park owners and operators, maintaining this water wonderland is anything but relaxing. Water parks are typically entirely outdoor facilities, left baking in the sun day after day, year after year; and it’s not just the sun they need to worry about, but also the myriad challenges of managing infrastructure that stays wet for most of the season. This means corrosion, rust, bacteria, algae, and slippery surfaces, all of which pose risks to visitors, and are the stuff of nightmares for water park owners. To protect water parks and help create safer aquatic environments, water parks can be coated with polyurea, a powerful technology capable of resisting everything from harsh abrasion to chemical corrosion, all while making surfaces safer to use.

    WHY POLYUREA?

    The paints and coatings industry is vast and always developing, with new technologies emerging year after year. However, while many new products are always entering the market, several solutions have stood the test of time and remain the go-to choice for wide ranging applications. Chief among them is polyurea, a high-performance protective coating used extensively across different private, commercial, and industrial sectors, thanks to its laundry list of key advantages. First and foremost, polyurea is strong and durable, easily withstanding harsh abrasion and forceful physical impacts. This means no more worrying about the effects of high foot traffic, or rolling in heavy machinery for repairs or new installations. For water parks, polyurea’s main advantage is its waterproof and watertight seal, insulating structural materials from moisture and providing an anti-slip and anti-skid texture for safer surfaces even when soaked with water. Polyurea is applied using high-pressure spray equipment as a simple two-component system, making it easy to coat large areas or complex surfaces in little to no time. Moreover, polyurea is notorious for its rapid curing times, ready for service only minutes after reacting on the surface of the substrate. As outdoor facilities, polyurea water park coatings can also help protect structures from UV radiation and resulting discoloration. With either UV resistant aliphatic polyurea, or a combined aromatic-aliphatic coating-top coat system, almost any surface can be shielded from the sun’s rays, without compromising on style or function. Last but not least, polyurea water park coatings are also safer and more sustainable than alternative materials like epoxy, as they’re made of 100% solids and with no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Together, this makes polyurea water park coatings the ultimate protective technology for water park protection, which is why it’s become such a popular choice for facilities large and small across the country.

    FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​​
    Polyurea is safe and effective for use in water parks and other aquatic spaces including pools, docks, and maritime vessels. Unlike many alternative technologies, polyurea is made of 100% solids and contains no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), making it safer, more sustainable, and perfect for protecting water park infrastructure.
    Aromatic polyurea is considered the workhorse of polyurea formulations because it is both cheaper and stronger. However, it’s not UV resistant and will discolor under prolonged or extreme UV exposure. Conversely, aliphatic polyurea is highly UV stable, but weaker and more expensive. We recommend using an aromatic coating with an aliphatic top coat, combining the best of both worlds.
    One of polyurea’s strengths is its high compatibility with many of the most common structural materials. This includes metal, plastic, concrete, wood, glass, and even some specialty fabrics and composite materials. So, the better, or at least the more difficult question is: which surfaces can’t be protected with polyurea?
