What is it, and how does it work?
Polyurea is the solution for all secondary containment needs. Its physical properties make it the perfect solution across many industries. Flexible polyurea can conform to any surface shape or size without cracking or straining, making it great for coating shapes. It’s a barrier against lubricants, acids and other spill prone chemicals. Polyurea coatings are safe for food processing equipment since they are compound and solvent free. Plus polyurea is temperature and weather durable making it the perfect choice for installations.
Another advantage of using polyurea in secondary containment applications is the ease of installation. These coatings are sprayed onto surfaces eliminating the need to cut or weld materials. This saves labor. And minimizes downtime since polyurea coatings cure quickly. Traditional coatings like concrete require curing periods. Which can be weather dependent and cause project delays.
Plus polyurea is abrasion and impact resistant. Equipment and foot traffic can damage containment areas. Polyurea coating is designed to resist that. Polyurea coatings are also resistant to chemicals and water exposure. These coatings are durable so the containment will function for years to come.
Using polyurea coatings also benefits the environment by containing materials in facilities. Adding polyurea to containment systems protects the environment from pollutants. Polyurea is also VOC and toxin free so in case of a spill or mishap cleaning it up with polyurea poses no threat to the environment.
