The Benefits of Pure Polyurea Include:
Zero VOC Emissions
Solvent-free and emits no volatile organic compounds, aligning with environmental and health standards.
Rapid Return to Service
Fast tack-free and gel times allow a quick return to service, minimizing downtime on every project.
High-Wear & Impact Resistance
Engineered to withstand abrasion, impact, and the demands of high-traffic industrial environments.
High Elongation
Exceptional elongation properties let the coating flex with the substrate without cracking or failing.
Chemical Resistance
Formulated to resist a broad range of chemicals, protecting surfaces in demanding environments.
Seamless, Water-Tight Seal
A fully monolithic membrane with no seams or joints – one of the most reliable waterproofing solutions available.
High-Pressure Pure Polyurea Systems
The most popular Ultimate Linings 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 polyurea applications include tank lining, large industrial flooring applications, waterproofing, and manufacturing facilities.
Low-Pressure Pure Polyurea Systems
Roll-applied polyurea coatings generally have a longer gel time, allowing the applicator to apply polyurea to a large surface area without tacking off too early. The slower gel time allows the polyurea to be spread evenly and self-level. Roll-applied polyureas are often used as an intermediate coating for waterproofing and areas requiring a flat finish.
Castable polyureas also have a longer gel time, allowing the coating to flow and fill the voids and bug holes. Castable materials are often used for applications where the polyurea needs to fill tight areas and voids, such as concrete repairs.
Cartridge systems are utilized for low-volume and entry-level applications, such as outbound repairs, smaller industrial applications, and occasional truck-bed lining. The advantages of the cartridge system are low start-up costs, minimal equipment maintenance, and minimal material waste, with the fast-dry times associated with high-pressure systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is pure polyurea coating?
Pure polyurea is a 100%-solids coating formed by reacting an isocyanate component with an amine resin blend, with no catalyst required. It cures almost instantly, producing a seamless, high-strength, waterproof membrane used for tank linings, roofing, flooring, and other high-wear surfaces.
How does pure polyurea differ from hybrid polyurea?
Pure polyurea uses only amine-terminated resins and reacts within seconds, giving it superior elongation, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Hybrid polyurea blends in polyol resins for a longer working time and lower cost, trading some performance for easier application.
Is pure polyurea waterproof?
Yes. Pure polyurea forms a fully seamless, monolithic membrane with no seams or joints, making it one of the most reliable waterproofing solutions for tanks, roofs, and secondary containment.
What surfaces can pure polyurea be applied to?
Pure polyurea bonds to concrete, steel, and most properly primed substrates. Common applications include water and wastewater tanks, roofing systems, secondary containment, and high-wear industrial flooring.
How quickly can a pure polyurea coating return to service?
Pure polyurea's fast tack-free and gel times mean most surfaces can return to service within hours of application, far faster than traditional epoxy or urethane coatings.
