Sealing

Polyurea generally has a variety of applications in different industries, including:

Building industry: As a coating for steel structures, concrete surfaces, wooden structures

Protective coatings: As a protective coating for tanks, containers and pipelines.

Marine: As a protective coating for ships and boats.

Industry: As a cover for production facilities and equipment.

Special Hi2One systems for corrosion protection and weathering protection of pillars or pipes that are partially in water. It is particularly suitable for use in highly corrosive environments where conventional paint systems and coatings fail. Hi2One is versatile and can be easily applied to metal, concrete or wooden piers.

Our polyurea (Hi2One) products are designed for the demanding marine environment and provide long-term protection for a variety of applications, including coated pilings, marine fenders, buoys and other structures that require durable protection from the elements. The Hi2One system formulations utilize components not found in standard polyurea products. These components form the basis for long-term durability in harsh marine environments.

All Hi2One products protect without harming the environment and, once cured, do not release toxic substances throughout the life of the product, unlike many protective coatings that degrade and leach their ingredients.

Coating of bridge structures

Polyurea coatings have exceptionally high anti-corrosion properties compared to conventional paints. This is why they are increasingly being used for steel and concrete bridge structures.

Coating of water storage tanks

Polyurea coatings protect steel water tanks against corrosion, chemical and natural weathering. The coating is applied in a relatively short time and is durable.
Older water tanks coated with polyurea can be used for several years longer and their functionality can be raised to new-build level. Due to the short processing and curing time of the material, the downtime for tank renovation is significantly reduced.

Tank coating of sewage treatment plants

Polyurea is very suitable for the primary and secondary coating of concrete parts. It is quick-drying, chemical-resistant and abrasion-resistant. This makes it ideal for use in sewage treatment plants.

Coatings for tanks and storage tanks

Polyurea sealants are resistant to most chemicals and liquids used in industry. Thanks to its fast processing time and good adhesive properties on almost all materials, polyurea is the ideal coating for new and repaired storage tanks, silos and tanks.

Coating of pipelines and pipes

Polyurea coatings are being used more and more frequently for corrosion protection of pipes for gas and district heating lines.
Due to the significantly longer durability and the associated lower maintenance costs, the material has quickly worked its way up the hit list of business managers.
Polyurea PUR foam is also used to coat insulated pipes, which are then hard to beat in terms of durability.

Areas of application in shipbuilding

Polyurea protects steel, aluminum, wood, composites and fiberglass both above and below the waterline. It is used both on pleasure craft and in commercial shipping.
Polyurea protects the ship and its individual components against abrasion, corrosion and chemical damage and can also be used for color design.

Advantages & features

Crack-bridging & elastic

Polyurea is crack-bridging because it has high elasticity and fast curing. It forms a flexible layer that is able to absorb movement in the substrate and seal out water at the same time.
This ability to absorb cracks and movement in the substrate makes it a suitable choice for applications where high elasticity is required to prevent cracking.

High strength and durability

Polyurea has a high tensile and compressive strength and is resistant to abrasion, water and chemicals.

Flexibility

Polyurea is very flexible, which makes it a good option for applications that require good stretchability, such as floor coatings.

Resistance to UV radiation

Polyurea has excellent resistance to UV radiation, which makes it a good option for outdoor applications.

Wide range of applications

Polyurea can be used for a variety of applications including floor coatings, roof waterproofing, steel structures, tanks, truck beds, etc.

Why polyurea?

Polyurea contains no solvents and is virtually odorless

Is insensitive to high temperature fluctuations

It is very flexible and elastic and therefore crack-bridging

Can be applied in all desired thicknesses

Has excellent adhesion to all substrates

It is resistant to solvents, alkalis and mild acids

Protective coatings against corrosion have been applied for years using paint, epoxy resins or glass fiber reinforced materials.
Polyurea coatings have significantly better physical properties than the conventional coating options mentioned and are also faster to cure and can be used again.

Another advantage is the wide processing range in terms of temperature and humidity in the immediate vicinity.

Downtimes due to drying times, as with conventional coating methods, are a thing of the past.
The customer can use the coated surface after a short time and does not have to wait days for the coating to cure.
