What is Polyurea?
Polyurea is a fast setting material that is applied using specialist hot spray equipment. Polyurea coating consists of resin and isocyanate at a 1:1 ratio which is mixed in a specialist Polyurea application gun. These compounds are mixed only when the gun trigger is pulled. As a result the materials are mixed precisely, allowing an almost instant cure on contact with the substrate. Polyurea coatings have existed for around 30 years, originally being made for the automotive industry, for example pick-up truck beds due to its abrasion resistance. Subsequently, the material was used in other applications such as roofs, pools, ponds, tanking & secondary containment. Therefore it was a natural progression to include it in our products at Specialist Lining Services by Eurotank Ltd.
Advantages of Polyurea Coatings?
- Very fast setting between 5 and 20 seconds
- Rapid return to service Saving ££££’s on traditional time-consuming linings and coatings.
- Sub-zero temperature application unlike traditional epoxies and polyurethanes.
- The material can be built up to any required thickness offering more structural integrity.
- Fantastic abrasion resistance
- 100% waterproof membrane
- Good chemical resistance
- Excellent corrosion protection
- High elongation
- High tensile strength
Polyurea coatings do have some disadvantages in comparison to traditional linings. Namely they do not have very high chemical resistance. Traditional glass reinforced plastic linings & epoxies are still required when storing high concentration chemicals. Over the next few years with new advancement in technology It is our belief that the development of more chemical resistant polyureas will come to the market. This is why Specialist Lining Services by Eurotank are offering the application of all types of linings to our customers.
Uses for Polyurea Application?
- Storage tank linings in particular the water storage industry
- Secondary containment, such as in bunds & plant rooms
- Flat roofs
- Asbestos encapsulation
- Water reservoirs
- Swimming pool tanking
- Ponds
- Waste water structures such as Inlet chambers etc…
