POLYUREA
With many uses, from truck box lining, to retention ponds, to wastewater treatment plants, polyureas come in a wide range of formulations.
These very flexible two-component materials have a very short cure time and may require special application equipment such as spraying several components with a mixing head in the gun. The reaction time can be as little as 9 seconds. Because of the quick cure, they do not adhere well to themselves after a very short period of time and are commonly applied in a single layer. Many polyureas require a layer of epoxy primer, as their adhesion to steel may not be sufficient for intensive service.
Frequently asked questions
Which basins and tanks do you waterproof?
Municipal or private drinking water basins, oil recovery tanks, wastewater or stormwater basins, chemical tanks and fuel tanks, whether the concrete is new or already leaking.
Why is polyurea used so often?
Polyurea is very flexible and cures fast, sometimes in 9 seconds. It is sprayed with special plural-component equipment and a mixing head in the gun, and it is usually applied in one coat.
Does polyurea need a primer?
Often, yes. Many polyureas need an epoxy primer coat, because their adhesion to steel on its own may not be enough for intensive service in a tank or basin.
