Responding To Disaster With Polyurea
RISING HURRICANE TRENDS: NOAA Reports Spike in Atlantic Storm Frequency and Intensity
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration tracks and records the frequency of hurricanes through time. During the most recent 30-year period, 1991 to 2020, there has been an uptick in the number of named storms and the frequency of major hurricanes of category three intensity or greater in the Atlantic.
THE GO-TO PRODUCT FOR
PROTECTION AgAINST DEVASTATION
Polyurea has gained popularity for hurricane protection due to its ability to create a flexible shield that can endure strong forces, effectively preventing damage caused by flying objects and high winds when applied to buildings or structures. Unlike coatings used for protection purposes polyurea possesses elasticity, which enables it to adjust to changes in pressure without developing cracks or peeling off. This resilience ensures that the protective barrier stays intact in the face of weather conditions, reassuring property owners during extreme situations.

the scienCE BEHIND
Disaster Restoration
WITH Polyurea
To understand why Polyurea is so popular in disaster restoration, we must look deep into the actual chemical composition of polyurea. Polyurea is not a specific coating system – it is a polymer technology with a wide variety of product formulations, offering a wide range of solutions. It involves a chemical reaction and a chemical mixture. It’s a combination of isocyanate and resin blend components. There are many variations of the isocyanate component. No other coating system compares to Polyurea when it comes to attainable physical properties. Polyurea is the greatest protective coating material on earth from high elongation to superior tensile strength from hard abrasion resistance to soft impact resistance. ArmorThane’s technical experts can help you understand how this pertains to your project and the benefits you stand to gain by incorporating it.
ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS
THE ULTIMATE WEATHERPROOFING COATING MATERIAL
It is undisputed that polyurea coatings are the ultimate weatherproof coating material. This is why they are so popular in large-scale tank projects as well as huge infrastructures. Polyurea is an ultimate sealant that offers an air-tight seal. Many contractors around the world use Polyurea in disaster restoration every year.
Roofs
Powerful winds can unquestionably blow off roofs. Water can also infiltrate in the smallest of crevices. Polyurea coatings are ideal for sealing off damage and waterproofing the roofs of any structure.
Basements
When water seeps into basements, it is time to start worrying. Mold forms if nothing is done to cure the area. Polyurea coatings are excellent for patch jobs. As you know, mold presents major health problems if not taken care of.
These are just a few of the countless uses for Polyurea. Polyurea’s benefits go well beyond waterproofing.
