Top 3 Reasons You Should Invest In Polyurea Impact Resistant Coatings

    ARMORTHANE’S TOP 3
    REASONS WHY YOU
    SHOULD INVEST IN POLYUREA IMPACT-RESISTANT COATINGS

    THE IMPACT YOU WANT, WITHOUT THE IMPACT YOU DON’T

    Each and every surface faces its own set of challenges, minor or major, largely benign or acutely dangerous. But make no mistake; this is no level playing field. Some surfaces are expected to bear the brunt of some truly extreme conditions, the least of which are frequent or powerful impacts. Think about it – factory floors, parking garages, roofing systems, truck beds, off-road vehicles, and barricades; how many bumps, drops, slams, and slides do you think any single such surface experiences on a daily basis? Trust us – it’s a lot. To keep impact-laden surfaces safer over the long term they require additional protection to mitigate any vulnerabilities. For most surfaces facing operation in challenging environments the solution is impact-resistant coatings made of innovative technology like ArmorThane’s polyurea, and here we’ll share three of the top reasons why you too should consider investing in the industry’s highest-performing spray elastomer surface protection.

    THE TOP 3 REASONS

    It’s important that we begin by emphasizing that the following top three reasons are only the beginning of what polyurea has to offer. Polyurea coatings, especially those manufactured by ArmorThane, have broad-scope applications with more use cases and capabilities than almost any other technology offered by the paints and coatings industry. For more information please visit our applications page to explore everything spray elastomer technology can do to help protect surfaces everywhere. Now let’s dive into our top three reasons why you should consider polyurea impact-resistant coatings for vulnerable surfaces:

    EXCEPTIONAL TOLERANCE
    TO WEAR AND HIGH
    ABRASION RESISTANCE

    Like any good product, polyurea impact-resistant coatings do exactly what they say on the tin and protect against strong impacts. This can be in the form of something as mundane as an employee dropping tools on the warehouse floor or as extreme as a targeted terrorist attack with a homemade or even professionally produced explosive device. But their durability goes beyond resisting impacts and extends to the opposite end of the spectrum, which is harsh abrasion. Along with sudden collisions our formulations also mitigate the gradual wearing away of material through friction which is a problem on a longer timescale but one that’s all but guaranteed to impact (no pun intended) every square inch of actively employed surface material.

    RELIABLE THERMAL
    INSULATION AND HEAT
    RETARDANT PROPERTIES

    So far we’ve only discussed mechanical protection but what about other types of energy transfer that pose distinct but equally dangerous conditions for people and property? Namely, the thermal properties of a coating can be just as important because both friction and impacts can generate a significant amount of heat. This is why high-performance coatings like ArmorThane’s are developed with low thermal conductivity – or high thermal insulation – to keep surface materials safe from the consequences of exposure to extreme temperatures, whether static or fluctuating. Our impact-resistant coatings possess heat retardant properties that can help keep cool and prevent an already scary situation from literally sparking out of control.

    MORE SUSTAINABLE AND
    ENVIRONMENTALLY
    FRIENDLY

    The problem with many new technologies is that they too often solve one problem only to introduce another and many of which end up being detrimental to human or environmental health and safety. But ArmorThane is proud to offer high-performance, impact-resistant coatings that are verifiably safer and more sustainable than almost anything else on the market. Our 1:1 pure polyurea formulations are made with no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that exist as two common sources of danger in many leading coatings systems. They’re also made of 100% solids and can even be safe enough to use for potable water storage with only some modest modifications. After curing, polyurea is nothing short of one of the safest and most sustainable protective coatings available anywhere.

    OUR TOP IMPACT-RESISTANT FORMULATIONS

    Our ever-growing portfolio of polyurea and polyurethane products and services includes several top-selling impact-resistant formulations. Here’s two of our strongest coatings to date, perfect for challenging surfaces everywhere: 

    UltraBlast
    UltraBlast is a leader in our suite of blast mitigation formulations, serving as one of the toughest ArmorThane coatings yet developed. Featuring exceptional hardness, tensile strength, and elongation, its standout feature is unmatched tear strength, requiring more than 550 pounds of force per linear inch to peel. It’s widely employed in both military and law enforcement as well as countless different industrial environments and stands as a testament to our commitment to safety.
    ArmorBlast
    ArmorBlast and UltraBlast go hand in hand but differ in several important ways. While UltraBlast sports nearly double the adhesive strength as ArmorBlast, ArmorBlast has nearly double the tensile strength, more than twice the elongation, and comparable hardness. But like UltraBlast, ArmorBlast is widely used in both public and industrial contexts to keep both people and property safe in case of intentional or unintentional danger.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​​

    The “best” impact-resistant coating is hard to generalize and depends on myriad project-specific factors but it’s typically best to opt for high-performance, all-purpose materials with demonstrable reliability in different environments. What we’ve just described is polyurea spray elastomer technology, manufactured by ArmorThane, engineered for you.
    Safety and longevity are the two basic reasons to employ impact-resistant coatings and both can help save money. Safer surfaces mean fewer accidents and mitigated consequences when accidents do occur and the added longevity through surface preservation translates to less frequent repairs and replacements, and both of which can serve as major sources of costly and disruptive expenses.
    The types of surfaces that can be protected by impact-resistant coatings is a function of the material constituting the coating. If made of versatile materials like polyurea that are compatible with almost any substrate, concrete included, then you can eliminate surface integration from your list of worries and focus on protecting concrete with the strongest materials possible.
