Polyurea is an elastomeric substance produced through the reaction between an isocyanate component and an amine-based compound. It's differentiated into pure polyurea and hybrid polyurea, each possessing distinct properties. At its core, polyurea is recognized for its corrosion resistance, waterproofing, and abrasion resistance.

Acrylic polyurethane coatings are a go-to material for outdoor anti-corrosion topcoats. However, some of the resins currently in use have low solid content, resulting in less-than-ideal film thickness and significant environmental pollution due to the release of organic volatiles. Despite technological advances introducing hydroxypropyl resins with 80% solid content, their high viscosity and low reactivity still necessitate the use of large quantities of solvents. Consequently, the actual construction may still contain up to 70% solids, emitting a considerable amount of VOCs.

Polyaspartic polyurea is an emerging synthetic material in the polyurea industry, featuring weather resistance, slow reactivity, solvent-free composition, and high mechanical strength. Often termed as the "third generation of polyurea," its two main components are polyaspartic resin and isocyanate curing agents. Currently, this material has gained broad applications in the coatings industry, including coatings for wind turbine blades, construction machinery, roofing, and high-end flooring. We are also exploring its future applications in the adhesive sector.

Polyaspartic flooring offers a range of benefits from quick curing times and robust durability to UV resistance and versatility. It's a cutting-edge solution that's increasingly becoming the go-to choice for both contractors and facility owners.
