The resin mix may contain amine-terminated polymer and chain extenders. Intentional hydroxyl moiety will not be present in amine-terminated polymer resins. Any hydroxyls found in amine-terminated polymer resins are the result of incomplete conversion. Other components, such as additives or non-primary ingredients, may be included in the resin blend. These additives could contain hydroxyls such as pre-dispersed colors, in a polyol carrier. The resin mixture will normally not contain catalysts.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AROMATIC POLYUREA
SO WHAT IS AROMATIC POLYUREA?
Since its introduction in the 1980s, aromatic polyurea has gained popularity in the coating and paint industries. Its many desirable properties, including high flexibility and durability, as well as slip and skid resistance and high tensile strength, and chemical and water resistance, are what have made it so popular. These properties make aromatic polyurea coatings excellent for protecting components in the automotive, industrial, residential, marine, and military sectors. Aromatic polyurea is made from a one-step reaction of an isocyanate and a synthetic resin mix component. Because it has a similar set of atoms, the compound is called aromatic. It is a common ingredient in many types of coating technologies because it is fast-curing and insensitive to moisture.
WHY CHOOSE AROMATIC POLYUREA COATINGS?
Aromatic polyurea coatings offer many significant advantages over other coating technologies, so they’ve continued to explode in popularity across their varied applications. Aromatic polyurea is generally more affordable than aliphatic polyurea, making it a preferred choice for applications where cost is a major consideration. Aromatic polyurea also offers superb durability, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. It provides strong resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemical elements.
It is important to note that when applied, aromatic polyurea will be yellow if exposed to UV radiation. This is the only major downside to aromatic polyurea; however, as we mentioned before, you will pay more for an aliphatic polyurea that offers the UV stability you don’t get with aromatic polyurea.
Overall, aromatic polyurea is the superior more widely used type of polyurea. If you would like to know more or would like to know more about the dozens of aromatic polyurea products we carry, please reach out to us today.
