WHY POLYUREA? POLYUREA is a remarkable technology with a wide range of uses; a spray on, fast curing, chemical and abrasion resistant, waterproof material with a history of success. As with any coating system, proper material selection, proper surface prep, correct application equipment, and the use of compatible primers are all required.
EXPERIENCE COUNTS CROSSWAY is arguably the most experienced contractor in the application of POLYUREA available for hire in the Southeastern US. And with this technology, experience and Quality control mean everything to providing long-term value to successful projects.
Customers investigating POLYUREA should be aware there is no application process or restrictions to purchasing the equipment and materials required from most manufacturers, and as a result, many less experienced contractors are available to install this technology at a range of costs. But in this application, the value of experience is priceless.
Many clients have experience with POLYUREA , and not all are positive, mainly due to the over-selling of the technology’s capabilities or application errors. But specified and installed correctly, POLYUREA can be the best long-term solution to many Industrial coating issues.
POLYUREA ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE:
- Waterproof
- Set times as soon as 6 seconds
- Fast cure time
- Flexible/elastic nature
- Seals holes up to 3 inches in diameter
- Extremely durable
- Impervious/waterproof
- Abrasion resistant
- No gases released during application
- Creates a seamless surface
- Wide range of colors/customizable
- Can be applied from 30 mils to 1/2 inch thickness in a single pass
- Soundproofing
This remarkably durable and flexible substance not only protects from corrosion and abrasion, but some formulations can even provide structural strength to concrete or steel structures. However, POLYUREA is only as good as proper preparation of the surface and professional application of the material. That takes a major investment in state-of-the-art equipment and a commitment to specialized training, both of which CROSSWAY has made.
Most major manufacturers of pure POLYUREA coatings have approved CROSSWAY as one of a very few contractors qualified to install these coatings, for example, Versa-Flex, Sherwin Williams, Tnemec, and Futura Coatings. In addition, CROSSWAY is approved to install the Hybrid Polyurethane Elastomeric systems from these and other manufacturers.
PREVENTION IS THE BEST POLICY Ideally, preventing damage before it occurs saves you money in the long run. So coating your equipment, concrete tankage, or exposed steel before it begins to corrode makes a lot of sense. Its high abrasion resistance makes POLYUREA ideal for coating open containers, utility trailers, dump truck beds, roll-off containers, garbage/medical waste dumpsters, and structural steel. This incredible coating also stands up to saltwater, wastewater, and diesel, making it ideal for solving containment challenges. When applied to wood, POLYUREA provides an impervious coating and extends its useful life.
MORE GREAT REASONS FOR CHOOSING A POLYUREA COATING In addition to protecting your equipment, POLYUREA has numerous benefits. First, it has a Class A Fire Rating. When a continuous flame is on this material, it emits no toxic gases and will not drip when burned. And, once the source of the flame is removed, the material ceases to burn. Once it is cured, POLYUREA will not leach gases, so it is ideal for coating potable water tanks. It can even provide UV protection. Because of its enormous elasticity and abrasion resistance, it stands up to rugged treatment. It is especially suitable in harsh environments and under extreme conditions, where other materials fail. Its elastic nature also provides a shock-absorbing benefit. Increased soundproofing is yet another great benefit of POLYUREA . POLYUREA also has decorative features, being available in multiple and customized colors.
