POLYUREA AND POLYURETHANE SOUNDPROOFING
Noise Mitigation Meets Surface Protection
SPRAY ELASTOMER TECHNOLOGY FOR
SOUNDPROOFING AND NOISE MITIGATION
For as long as there’ve been people, there’s been someone looking for a quiet place to work or rest. Whether you’re trying to keep the sound out, or prevent your own noises from disturbing nearby homes and businesses, soundproofing and noise mitigation can be essential for both comfort and functionality. With bigger and louder motor vehicles, the rise of work from home lifestyles, and larger and busier urban environments, soundproofing and noise mitigation have quickly reached the top of many people’s list of priorities. Private residences, commercial facilities, and even industrial sites are using soundproofing materials like polyurea and polyurethane to insulate their rooms and equipment, and have become the ultimate solution for combined sound and surface protection.
POLYUREA AND
POLYURETHANE foam NOISE MITIGATION
Polyurea and polyurethane coatings and foam are two of the coatings industry’s most well-regarded and widely employed coating technologies, used for everything from industrial floors and roofing, to military blast protection and radar absorbance. They possess two similar but distinct chemical structures that afford both materials with superior physical properties, perfect for resisting the effects of weathering and abrasion while also serving as effective soundproofing materials. Polyurea coatings or polyurethane spray foam are applied to walls, roofs, ceilings, or crawl spaces, absorbing noise before it can enter or exit. They’re able to seal any cracks or holes, creating an airtight barrier that effectively prevents the transfer of sound waves. Depending on the formulation, different structures and thickness can be used to create the perfect soundproofing solution tailored to each unique project, combined with the many other benefits of these technologies, from moisture resistance to energy efficiency.
BENEFITS OF SPRAY ELASTOMER SOUNDPROOFING
Unlike other types of soundproofing materials, polyurea coatings and polyurethane spray foam offer exceptional noise mitigation combined with a myriad of other benefits:
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
Polyurea and polyurethane spray elastomer technology are perhaps best known and most coveted for their superior resistance to most types of weathering and abrasion. From corrosive chemicals to explosive impacts, their unique chemical structures afford them with robust physical properties perfect for protecting almost any surface.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Noise mitigating polyurea coatings and polyurethane spray foams are also used as powerful insulating materials that help make homes and businesses more energy efficient. They help maintain temperature controls, and ensure the energy, and therefore money, spent heating or cooling a room or building isn’t lost to the environment.
MOISTURE CONTROL
Polyurea and polyurethane coatings and spray foams are renowned for their high moisture resistance and watertight seal. They’re commonly used in applications where water or other liquid chemicals are used and stored, and can easily resist groundwater, rainwater, or ambient moisture conditions.
APPLICATIONS OF POLYUREA AND
POLYURETHANE SOUNDPROOF COATINGS
Polyurea and polyurethane soundproofing coatings can be applied almost anywhere to insulate surfaces from their environment while also keeping noise pollution to a minimum. Here are just a few common examples:
HOMES AND OFFICES
Whether you work from home or are just looking for a quiet night’s sleep, polyurea and polyurethane coatings are perfect for private residences. Likewise, whether you work in a small commercial space or in an open format office, they can also help create quiet working spaces for thoughtful working hours or noise-sensitive projects like media production.
SCHOOLS AND
MILITARY FACILITIES
Anyone who has spent any time at all in schools or military bases knows there’s a lot going on, and that moments of silence are few and far between. Polyurea and polyurethane coatings and foam can help turn even the loudest drill instructor or most aggressive temper tantrum into little more than background noise.
RECORDING STUDIOS
We all know that recording studios require quiet, noise-controlled environments, but not everyone knows what goes into making that possible. Soundproofing materials like polyurea and polyurethane can be used to create soundproof, sound absorbing recording studios, used by podcasters, musicians, and anyone else producing digital content.
FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Polyurea coatings make for effective soundproofing materials by reducing noise and vibrations. They’re chosen over other soundproofing materials like fiberglass or mineral wool because of their blend of noise reduction and surface protection, serving as a powerful 2-in-1 solution for structures seeking high-performance and dual functionality coatings.
Polyurea coatings are a favored technology for industrial coatings due to their unmatched physical properties, rapid curing times, and environmentally friendly profile. They can be quickly and easily applied to almost any surface, and provide lasting protection for up to several decades with proper surface preparation and application.
The choice between polyurea coatings and polyurethane spray foam for soundproofing and noise mitigation depends on unique project requirements and limitations. The two materials are typically chosen for a combination of their sound reduction and other beneficial properties and applications. Often, polyurethane foam and polyurea coatings are used together to create the greatest noise reduction effect.
