POLYUREA’S PIPELINE TO PIPELINE PROTECTION Polyurea coatings can be traced back to mid-20th century polymer research. Scientists first noted the remarkable properties of polyurea as far back as 1948, observing its superior thermal stability compared to other polymers. However, these early experiments were confined to laboratories and not yet practical for coating pipelines. Fast forward …

Polyurea is a strong elastomeric material derived from the fast reaction between an isocyanate component and an amine-terminated resin. It creates urea linkages and a durable, flexible polymer. Let’s examine some key characteristics, and then we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the revolutionary coating technology. Key Characteristics of Polyurea Coatings Applications Across Industries …
Understanding Polyurea: A Versatile Solution for Protective Coatings Read More »
Many municipalities increasingly adopt polyurea solutions to manage infrastructure repairs in-house, reducing reliance on external contractors for costly maintenance and restoration projects. This strategic shift optimizes budget allocations, conserves taxpayer funds, and enhances the durability of critical infrastructure, including manholes, wastewater systems, and stormwater management structures. By implementing long-lasting protective coatings, cities and towns across …
