Wear protection for the defense industry
In an increasingly insecure global environment, the protection of military equipment, infrastructure and personnel is becoming increasingly important.
Polyurea, an innovative coating material, has established itself in the defense industry as an extremely effective solution for wear and environmental damage prevention.
High abrasion and chemical resistance
Due to its unique physical properties, polyurea offers outstanding protection against abrasion and chemical influences. This is crucial for military applications where equipment must withstand extreme conditions. Thanks to its extreme robustness and ability to create seamless seals, polyurea ensures that surfaces are effectively protected from flying debris, rockfall and other mechanical stresses.
Advantages of polyurea coating in the defense industry
Protection against falling cartridge cases: polyurea as an innovative solution for vehicle surfaces
In modern warfare, there are always challenges that are not immediately obvious. One such challenge concerns the effects of falling empty cartridge cases on military vehicles such as tanks. Despite their small size, these shells can cause significant damage to the surface of vehicles. An innovative solution to counteract this problem is the use of slightly elastic polyurea.
How the polyurea protection works
Polyurea, in particular Hi2One, is an extremely resistant and elastic material that absorbs the impact energy of falling cartridge cases.
The elasticity of a Hi2One coating prevents the cases from damaging the metal surface of the vehicle. By absorbing the kinetic energy of the shells, the impact is cushioned and the surface is effectively protected.
Color adaptable and resistant
Another advantage of polyurea is that it is completely dyeable. The material can be dyed in the desired color, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the overall appearance of the vehicle. In addition, the surface can be painted if required, so that the visual integrity is maintained even with ongoing wear and tear.
Long-term durability and service indicator
Over the years, depending on the frequency of shots fired, the elastic surface can slowly wear away. This wear conveniently serves as a natural indicator of when a new wear layer should be applied during a routine service before the original surface is damaged. This not only extends the service life of the armor, but also ensures continuous operational readiness.
Resistance to aggressive media and anti-slip properties
Polyurea also stands out due to its resistance to aggressive media, which makes it particularly suitable for military applications.
Whether extreme weather conditions or chemical substances – the material is resistant to a variety of potentially harmful influences. The surface also has a certain roughness, which has an anti-slip effect and therefore increases safety during handling.
Explosion protection coating
Protection against explosions and their devastating effects is a top priority in the defense industry. Polyurea coatings offer an innovative solution by preventing the spalling of masonry and absorbing the energy of fragments.
This technology can be used in new buildings as well as retrofitted to existing structures such as shelters and bunkers.
Load compartment coating for military vehicles
Vehicles used in military operations require first-class protection against the elements and mechanical wear and tear. Our polyurea coatings for loading areas are sound-absorbing, waterproof, slip-resistant and extremely wear-resistant. They offer protection against corrosion caused by moisture and the chemical effects of salt or fuels, which are frequently encountered in tough conditions.
Applications in the defense truck and transport sector
Polyurea coatings are the ideal solution for extending the service life and functionality of truck and trailer floors. Screen printing plates, which are subject to frequent use, benefit from the non-slip, flexible and sound-absorbing polyurea coating, which offers protection and functionality in one.
In summary, Polyurea offers a versatile and efficient solution for the extreme requirements of the defense industry. It protects and extends the life of critical military infrastructure and vehicles, making it an indispensable part of modern defense solutions.
