Since polyurea was introduced in the 80’s it has changed many industries. While the rough texture of polyurea is great for many applications, some applications require a smooth finish. Let’s take a look at the formulations and spraying techniques to get a smooth polyurea finish.
The formulation of a polyurea coating affects its smoothness. Key components that affect the texture are:
Getting a smooth polyurea finish is not just about the formulation. The spraying technique is also important. Here are some advanced techniques to consider:
One often missed benefit of smooth polyurea is noise reduction. In applications like automotive undercoatings, a smooth polyurea layer will dampen vibrations and reduce road noise, making it more comfortable.
Another advantage is the aesthetic flexibility. Smooth polyurea can be tinted or colored to match your design requirements, functional and decorative.
To the left is an example of how ArmorThane incorporated a smooth finish to a custom application. A customer wanted his wheel wells to match. Unfortunately, Ford sends out their trucks with blacked-out front wheel wells and white uncovered wheel wells in the rear. In order to match the black smooth finish of the front wheel wells, ArmorThane sprayed a pure polyurea product with no texturing to complete a smooth finished look.
