POLYUREA   WATERPROOFING/  WEATHERPROOFING 

THE COATINGS INDUSTRY'S
BEST WATERPROOFING MATERIAL

Polyurea is an advanced materials technology that reacts in situ to form a highly resistant, waterproof coating on the surface of a variety of structures. It’s renowned for its durable physical properties like high tensile strength and elongation, and for its versatility in formulation that allows polyurea technology to be engineered with specific properties. It’s highly resistant to most types of weathering and abrasion, including physical impacts, chemical corrosion, and UV radiation. Paired with their high moisture resistance and watertight seal, polyurea coatings are the coatings industry’s choice of waterproofing materials.

WHY CHOOSE POLYUREA
FOR WATERPROOFING?

Polyurea technology has earned its spot as the best waterproofing material for countless applications. Polyurea is highly durable and provides excellent surface protection, resisting strong impacts and harsh abrasion with ease. This also means that polyurea waterproofing materials will stand the test of time, with a high quality installation lasting for as long as several decades. Polyurea coatings are also easy to apply, and cure within minutes, turning what were potentially weeks-long waterproofing projects into a few days or less. Moreover, they’re also safer and more sustainable than alternative coating materials, as they’re 100% solids, and use no volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) or organic solvents. All of this combined with its high moisture resistance and watertight seal makes polyurea the best choice of waterproofing materials.

WALL-FLOOR COATINGS
FOR ADVANCED PROTECTION

Wall-floor interfaces, or the place where flooring meets the walls, are at significant risk of water infiltration. These junctures often have small cracks that allow water to easily compromise structural elements, and create an unhealthy environment that fosters dangerous microorganisms. This soup of water and microbes can even push under the trim and behind walls where they can continue to fester and cause that much more damage. Polyurea waterproofing materials can be used with chamfer molding to create a more robust seal that avoids this problem from the start. Wall-floor interfaces protected with polyurea are assured to reliably keep out moisture and bear the brunt of physical and chemical stress.

BASEMENTS, FOUNDATIONS, landscaping and more

Polyurea waterproofing materials can be applied almost anywhere, from basements and foundations, to water features or wall-floor crevices. Unlike many alternative coatings, polyurea is suitable for most environments thanks to its healthier and more eco-friendly chemical profile. They’re 100% solids, and use no VOCs, solvents, or other hazardous materials, which makes them perfect for outdoor use and suitable for contact without compromising human health. They’re robust resistance also means they’re ready to deal with the harsh conditions of any environment, including strong UV radiation, large temperature fluctuations, and frequent physical abrasion. So wherever they’re needed, polyurea waterproofing materials are the perfect solution for any waterproofing project.

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are Polyurea Coatings Good For Waterproofing?

Polyurea coatings are among the best coating technologies for waterproofing surfaces to protect them from water damage. After application, polyurea coatings quickly cure to form a watertight barrier between the coated structure and the external environment. They provide robust protection from most types of weathering and abrasion, and effectively prevent harmful water intrusion and corrosion.

Is Polyurea or Polyurethane Better for Waterproofing?

Both polyurea and polyurethane spray elastomer technology provide invaluable utility to countless industries. Polyurethane coatings are typically more cost-effective, and highly valued for their flexibility, but lack the same level of moisture resistance exhibited by polyurea. Polyurea is renowned for its high physical and chemical resistivity, which includes strong resistance to different types of water damage like corrosion or infiltration.

Can You Apply Polyurea Waterproofing By Yourself

While it’s technically possible to install waterproofing polyurea coatings yourself, it’s strongly advised to partner with a coatings expert to carry out your installation. While polyurea is a safer and more sustainable material than many alternatives, it still poses health and safety risks during its application, and improper installation can be less effective and expensive to remediate.
