POLYUREA Q/A

Polyurea is a type of polymer that is formed by the reaction of isocyanates
with amines or amides. It is commonly used as a surface coating for a variety of
applications due to its fast curing time, extreme durability, and resistance to
water, chemicals, and abrasion.

There are 2 major types of concrete coatings available on the market; epoxy
and polyurea.
Epoxy has been around for several decades and as such as seen adopted
across the world as a protective layer for concrete. Polyurea on the other hand is
brand new and is made by fusing several protective layers together unlike epoxy
which is just one or two.
Because of this polyurea is significantly better at protecting against chemicals,
UV light, and abrasions, and remains flexible to ensure absolute protection from
nearly everything you can throw or roll over it. Over the past 4 years, polyurea
has become the coating of the future.

 Polyurea coatings have several benefits, including fast cure times, high
durability, resistance to water, chemicals, and abrasion, and a high degree of
flexibility. They can be used in a wide range of temperatures and are ideal for
use in high traffic and harsh environments.

 Polyurea coatings can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces, including
concrete, metal, and wood. They are commonly used for concrete flooring in
garages, basements, porches, patios, driveways and sidewalks

Polyurea coatings typically cure within a few seconds to a few minutes,
depending on the formulation and environmental conditions.
In general, polyurea coatings are known for their fast-setting properties and can
cure within a few hours or even minutes, depending on the specific product and
the conditions under which it is applied.

trained professional. It is important to take appropriate safety precautions when
handling and applying polyurea coatings.

Yes, polyurea coatings can be applied in cold temperatures, as low as -30°C,
depending on the specific formulation. However, the curing time may be longer
in colder temperatures.
