Polyurea flooring, or polyurea coating, is one of the coverings that has been used in recent years as an anti-corrosion and waterproof coating for metal and concrete surfaces, among other applications, and is recognized as one of the best types of coatings. Polyurea coating features thermal stability and UV resistance. Polyurea flooring has high chemical resistance against many liquids, quick drying, the ability to be applied in thick layers, and a very uniform surface finish. One of the advantages of polyurea lining or flooring compared to other linings, such as epoxy flooring, is its fast curing speed in the environment, allowing for proper surface preparation and quality testing during application.
Advantages of Polyurea Flooring or Coating
Polyurea flooring or coating has high adhesion properties to the applied surface and is a very suitable alternative to epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, fiberglass, and other lining systems. Depending on the percentage of its components, polyurea flooring combines high elasticity with low surface permeability and high impact resistance to create a durable and flexible lining. Polyurea systems can be applied as a seamless protective membrane on various substrates by spraying.
Applications of Polyurea Coating
Due to its advantages, polyurea flooring or coating can have interesting applications, including in acidic environments. Here are some diverse applications of polyurea coating:
- Industrial garage and parking flooring
- Cold storage flooring
- Moisture insulation for pools
- Water tank lining
- Bridge deck coating
- Truck bed liner
