Now
take a look at a revolucionary product with great characteristics
for
your special needs in protection against oxidation and salt attrition
on
metals, concretes and just about any material.
It’s name is POLYUREA, here are some
examples.
Coating of
ship decks and other metallic parts on Boats.
Coating
concrete against salts, acids, caustics, etc.
Protection on metallic stairs, pathways, railguards, etc., excellent for roofing.
Coating
reservoirs for marine life.
Coating
floors and walls against spills like
solvents, acids, etc.
Under extreme conditions epoxic materials
fracture and urethanes give out and tear, this elastomer
resists abrassion and tear (ASTM-1044, 0.62
mg loss after 1000 revs), there are
soft and hard versions
(with
elongations of 125 to 625%), tear strength ASTM-638 of 2315 psi. Metal
Adhesion is good (1375 psi)
and on concrete (355 psi) also as
good (ASTM 794).
Won’t pinhole nor blister with humidity
as polyurethanes do, it can be applied in temperatures within 10º to
150º F.
Because
it cures so fast, reinforcing fibers can be added upon necessity,
making this material very versatile to
acquire any strength, toughness or
mechanical strength required..
This are just some examples, the amount of uses
depends on your needs. This product is an elastomer
applied on the spot with a high pressure equipment. Does not
pollutes because it doesn’t have
volatile organic compounds nor it’s explosive
in enclosed spaces.
As soon as it cures it can be
handled…….it adheres great to metal, bricks, concrete, etc.
