POLYUREA SPILL
CONTAINMENT
Industrial floors, loading docks, and remote well pads share one universal mandate: spill containment. Whether you handle lubricants, acids, or agricultural nutrients, a lost liter can migrate quickly and trigger regulatory, financial, and environmental shocks. Polyurea coating technology creates a seamless, monolithic skin that bonds to concrete, stainless steel, or geotextile liners in seconds and stops leaks before they spread. Unlike bolted basins or rigid concrete sumps, a sprayed‑in‑place polyurea barrier flexes with temperature swings and heavy traffic, preserving liquid‑tight integrity for decades. It’s among the most reliable spill containment solutions for reduced maintenance and faster return to service—advantages essential in facilities that run 24/7.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Polyurea’s rapid gel time lets crews resume production the same day, virtually eliminating costly shutdowns. Once cured, the elastomer delivers excellent chemical resistance to many acids, bases, and hydrocarbons, shielding assets from hazardous chemicals, flammable liquids, and abrasive solids. The dense cross‑linked network resists swelling, so a polyurea‑lined spill containment system can’t wick fuels or solvents into concrete or soil. High elongation absorbs mechanical shock from forklifts and seismic vibration, outlasting brittle epoxy or vinyl‑ester linings. Because polyurea is solvent‑free, the coating emits virtually no VOCs and can be sprayed inside food plants without extended downtime. Its versatility across various applications cements its role in the modern suite of spill containment solutions.
INTEGRATED SPILL CONTAINMENT
A robust program combines engineered surfaces with modular accessories to build layers of defense and optimize sump capacity.
-
Containment Platforms:
Polyurea‑coated grates support IBCs and 55‑gallon drums, channeling drips into a basin sized for extra sump capacity. -
Spill Containment Pallet:
Fork‑liftable units keep drum storage compliant; polyurea linings resist corrosion and simplify cleanup after oil spills. -
Spill Deck:
Low‑profile decks interlock to create ergonomic work surfaces while maintaining stringent spill control. -
Spill Berm:
Drive‑over berms built with polyurea‑reinforced fabrics surround frac tanks or vacuum trucks for field‑ready spill response. -
Utility Tray & Spill Containment Trays:
dCompact trays under pumps or battery banks localize drips; overhead leak diverters capture roof leaks before they hit the floor. -
Drain Cover:
Magnetic or weighted mats seal drains during transfers, keeping contaminants out of the storm sewer.
When linked together, these elements create adaptive secondary containment systems that exceed regulatory volume requirements without sacrificing workflow or safety.
SECONDARY CONTAINMENT PRODUCTS:
Secondary containment underpins safe, continuous operation in demanding industries, and our coatings power a spectrum of specialized options:
-
EnviroThane
EnviroThane is a top-of-the-line formulation with exceptional chemical resistance and impermeability. It also sports a quick set time, competitive flexibility, and extremely low shrinkage rates that can even exceed that of other elastomers. -
Armor HiChem
Armor HiChem is a 1:1 pure polyurea formulation with the most comprehensive chemical and corrosion resistance that’s ideally suited for managing acids, solvents, saltwater, and other corrosive species prevalent in the oil and gas industry. -
STS 300
Our STS 300 formulation is an improved polyurethane developed from our earlier STS 200 product. It features greater abrasion resistance than its predecessor and low permeability for improved chemical resistance. -
HighLine 310
One of our fastest setting polyurea formulations, HighLine 310 is another one of our 1:1 polyurea formulations and possesses excellent impact, abrasion, and chemical resistance along with consistent performance in extreme temperatures both hot and cold. -
HighLine 510H
HighLine 510H is a pure polyurea with an emphasis on corrosion resistance. It also features superior skid resistance that’s harder and more abrasion resistant than our HighLine 510, along with a lower sensitivity to moisture for spraying in environments that aren’t suitable for the use of other elastomeric coatings. -
UltraTech
We call it UltraTech for a reason; it’s our most wear-resistant formulation, possessing unmatched abrasion resistance and tensile strength along with high elongation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A polyurea spill containment system combines a fast‑set polyurea liner with decks, berms, or trays to form a seamless, chemical‑resistant basin. Sprayed onto concrete or stainless steel, it cures in seconds, flexes with traffic, and resists acids, fuels, and solvents. These spill containment solutions scale from single 55‑gallon drums to tank farms, making them adaptable for various applications.
Keep a dedicated spill kit on every containment platform, backed up by basic first aid and personal safety equipment such as gloves, goggles, and absorbent socks. Train staff to begin spill response within minutes: stop the source, cover floor drains, verify sump capacity isn’t exceeded, then notify supervisors. Fast action reduces cleanup costs and keeps operations moving.
Inspect weekly for abrasion or pooled liquid; verify sump capacity and test each drain cover quarterly; empty sumps at 10 % capacity; record findings in your SPCC log; and refresh absorbents, first aid supplies, and other safety equipment in every onsite spill kit. Automated alarms or float switches further streamline spill response and minimize downtime.
