Applications of polyaspartic coatings

From a technical perspective, the term “polyaspartic” refers to an “aliphatic polyurea”.

 The general public is somewhat familiar with polyurea coatings, primarily from their uses in such applications as spray down truck bed liners and tank coatings. Polyaspartic coatings are often viewed as a variation or type of a polyurea coating.

 Today, polyaspartic coatings are widely used in protective resinous floor coating applications from residental, commercial and industrial areas.

Polyaspartic coatings may be combined with the coloured vinyl flakes or quartzs and applied with a squeegee, seal-coat broom or even a simple roller or special spray machines.

Applications of polyurethane coatings 

Polyurethanes are one of the most versatile plastic materials. The nature of the chemistry allows polyurethanes to be adaptedto solve challenging problems, to be molded into unusual shapes and to enhance industrial and consumer products by adding comfort, warm and convenience to our lives.

Polyurethanes are formed by reacting a polyol (an alcohol with more than two reactive hydroxyl groups per molecule) with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives. Because a variety of diisocyanates and a wide range of polyols can be used to produce polyurethane, a broad spectrum of materials can be produced to meet the needs of specific applications.

It does not matter where you look, you are likely to find polyurethanes. Polyurethanes can be a found in mattresses, couches, insulation, liquid coatings and paints, tough elastomers such as roller blade wheels, soft flexible foam toys, some elastic fibers, and many other places and applications.   

Explore the many uses of polyurethanes, which range from flexible foam in upholstered furniture, to rigid foam as insulation in walls and roofs, to thermoplastic polyurethane used in medical devices and footwear, to coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers used on floors and automotive interiors.

Applications of polyurea coatings

Polyurea is a truly remarkable coating, lining and joint sealant technology and can be used for a wide variaty of applications.

Polyurea coatings and linings are commonly applied over concrete and steel for corrosion protection and abrasion resistance.

They also have numerous advantages over conventional materials due to their extremely fast setting times, high elongation, extreme resistance to atmospheric attack and their durability abrasion characteristics.

Polyurea coatings always have to be looked at as a complete system. A successful coating is the coordinated combination of 4 factors. These parameters must be met correctly at all times to make use of the unique benefits of the Polyurea systems.

• Trained application teams
• Professional equipment
• Proper preparation of surface area
• Polyurea formulations including additional products
