Hybrid Polyurea Coatings
Fast-curing, impact-resistant hybrid polyurea coatings from Ultimate Linings for EPS hard-coating, truck-bed, van linings, and metal fabrication.
Hybrid Polyurea Coatings by Ultimate Linings
Ultimate Linings hybrid polyurea formulations are fast-curing, impact-resistant, and very versatile.
Much like UL pure polyurea formulations, our hybrid materials are utilized across many industry sectors, including EPS hard-coating, truck-bed and van cargo lining, and metal fabrication.
The Benefits of Hybrid Polyurea Include:
Cost-Effective
A more economical formulation than pure polyurea, without sacrificing core performance.
Fast Cure
Dries in seconds, keeping projects moving and minimizing equipment downtime.
Anti-Scratch & Tear-Resistant
Built to withstand daily wear, scratching, and tearing in demanding environments.
Watertight Seal
Forms a reliable, water-resistant barrier across the coated surface.
Sound Dampening
Helps reduce noise and vibration on the surfaces it's applied to.
Skid-Resistant Finish
A textured finish option that improves footing and safety underfoot.
Aromatic & Aliphatic Options
Choose standard aromatic formulations or UV color-stable aliphatic versions.
High-Pressure Hybrid Polyurea Systems
Most Ultimate Linings hybrid polyurea coatings are applied via high-pressure machines, such as the Graco Reactor 3 proportioner. These systems are suited to high-volume and continuous coating applications. Typical high-pressure hybrid polyurea applications include truck and van manufacturers, hard-coating film-set and theme-park sculptures, tail-lift coatings, and ballistic spall coatings.
Low-Pressure Hybrid Polyurea Systems
The Ultimate Linings portfolio of hybrid polyureas includes roll-applied, castable, and cartridge-based systems. Apart from the cartridge system, low-pressure coatings are generally formulated to suit applications that require slower gel times, allowing the hybrid polyurea to be evenly applied to large surface areas via pouring or rolling.
Cartridge systems are more suited to lower-volume applications, benefiting from faster drying time, less equipment, and lower investment than high-pressure systems – for example, a vehicle repair shop offering a bed-liner service, versus a vehicle manufacturer requiring a high-pressure machine for continuous application.
Aliphatic Hybrid Polyurea Systems
Ultimate Linings have a range of aliphatic hybrid formulations. Aliphatic polyurea is ideal for one-coat applications where UV color stability and gloss retention are necessary. UL aliphatic polyureas are applied in a single coat, multi-pass application, and dry within 30–45 seconds – no top-coat required.
Fire-Rated Hybrid Polyurea Systems
In certain situations, like construction, fire-rated coatings are a must. Ultimate Linings formulate FR hybrid polyureas that meet ASTM D2898 Method C, E-162 Class A, and E-84 Class A test criteria. Our FR hybrid polyureas have been utilized on power poles, armored tanks, dog kennels, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hybrid polyurea coating?
Hybrid polyurea blends amine-terminated resins with a small amount of polyol, giving it a slightly longer working time and lower cost than pure polyurea while retaining fast cure speed, impact resistance, and a watertight seal.
How is hybrid polyurea different from pure polyurea?
Hybrid polyurea trades some of pure polyurea's elongation and chemical resistance for a more cost-effective formulation and easier application, making it a popular choice for truck-bed linings, EPS hard-coating, and metal fabrication.
Is hybrid polyurea suitable for truck bed liners?
Yes. Hybrid polyurea's anti-scratch, tear-resistant, and skid-resistant finish make it one of the most common coatings used for truck-bed and van cargo lining.
Does hybrid polyurea come in UV-stable colors?
Yes. Ultimate Linings offers aliphatic hybrid polyurea formulations that are UV color-stable, in addition to standard aromatic formulations.
Is hybrid polyurea fire-rated?
Ultimate Linings formulates fire-rated hybrid polyurea systems that meet ASTM D2898 Method C, E-162 Class A, and E-84 Class A test criteria, used on power poles, armored tanks, and more.
