WHY YOU NEED POLYUREA IN YOUR BUSINESS
Polyurea has emerged as a frontrunner in various applications that were previously dominated by epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane coatings. Its exceptional mechanical properties, including tensile strength of up to 3000 psi and elongation of 250 to 500 percent, have propelled polyurea to the forefront. Additionally, its low-temperature flexibility, extending to temperatures as low as -40°C, surpasses that of polyurethanes. Polyurea’s UV stability ensures superior color retention compared to polyurethanes, while its 100% solids formulation results in low volatility.
Adhering to a wide range of substrates, including cement, brick, fiberglass, steel, and wood, polyurea has found its way into numerous building applications such as asbestos encapsulation, floor coating, and primary/secondary containment. Unlike polyurethanes, polyurea has the remarkable ability to cure under high moisture and humidity conditions, provided proper surface preparation is carried out.
