WHAT IS IT &
HOW DOES IT WORK
WHAT IS POLYUREA?
Polyurea is a lining, coating, and joint sealant technology all in one. It is produced by combining isocyanate with amine resin in a chemical process. This reaction usually happens within a few seconds. One of the strongest protective polymers on the market, polyurea boasts an industry-leading tensile strength. ArmorThane’s specially blended material can endure over 30 years with the right conditions and upkeep before it needs retouching, repairs, or replacement. In addition, polyurea’s physical characteristics after curing make it among the best available coatings for protection.
Polyurea is an elastomer material procured from step-growth polymerization, which involves combining synthetic resin and reactive isocyanate materials. Thus, the result of an isocyanate part with a resin blend part through the step-growth method of polymerization produces polyurea. Various formulations of resins and isocyanates
can produce the desired setting time, water resistance, pigmentation, flame-hindering qualities, and other unique characteristics.
A hybrid coating is a polyurea blended in polyurethane in calculated proportions. The hybrid coating presents specific physical properties of pure polyurea at a lower price than pure polyurea alone.
