About Polyurea? Polyurea elastomeric coatings are remarkable products for many different areas of construction. Used since the late 1980’s,it has proven to have an amazing tensile strength while keeping the ability to move with the substrate up to 900%. Polyurea creates a seamless, high abrasion liner that expands and contracts with its substrate and can withstand the harshest environments known to man. Polyurea is a chemical resistance coating that has the ability to be UV tolerant, as well it does not break down if exposed to H2S gasses. These are just a few of the reasons to look at little further into the Polyurea elastomeric coating systems. If you want to Protect your Investment for the future and reduce maintenance cost, then we strongly recommend contacting Western Form Works Coating Division for further details on your next project Coating Division

Polyurea Applications The markets and applications are endless and rapidly on the rise. Polyurea's future uses are limited only to one’s imagination! Polyurea has been used by many large corporations for many years due to the durability and quick return to service. Some of the companies include but not limited to: Halliburton Corporation Sea World Fluor Corporation U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (AK) Conoco-Phillips U.S. Coast Guard Shell Oil Company U.S. Marine CORPS Petro Canada/Suncor Eglin Air Force Base Stantec EngineeringChrysler Corporation Boeing Corporation (WA)Disney Productions Ford Motor Company (MI)Western States Hospital General MotorsSony Entertainment MicrosoftDow Chemical Company NIKE Intel Electric Cargil® Tyson Seafood's Group Coating Division

Alaska Pipe Line Polyurea first was created for the frigid temperatures of the Alaska pipe line. They needed a product that could encapsulate the foam around pipe and be durable enough to with stand what the Alaska winters had to offer. Polyurea was then created by Texaco in 1988 specifically for this task. It succeeded as a pipe coating and then used as a secondary containment liner seeing all the properties of the coating were so durable. The possibilities of Polyurea seemed endless. To date there are many different formulations of Polyurea to Protect the Investment of clients and keep minimal down time with no maintenance. Water Conservation A company out of Kennewick, Wa had a problem with their irrigation flumes rusting and needing to be replaced. They did not have the money in the budget at the time to replace the flume so looked into liner systems. They chose Polyurea to use due to its physical properties and fast return to service time. The flume was grit blasted and seeing the metal was so far gone created holes in the structure. Polyurea was then applied to the outside of the 50 mils to keep the structure which acted as a moldform to be blasted and sprayed. The interior was then sprayed with 100mils of polyurea. The flume was re-inspected 9 yrs later and were no signs of wear, and the Product is performing like new. The savings estimated on this project to date is $3,000, If you would like to see more job profiles please contact Coating Division

POLYUREAEPOXY Forms a very strong bond to concrete Lasts indefinitely if applied properly- even in challenging environments High quality epoxies last indefinitely if applied properly in the right environment Has elongation properties more than 50 times that of epoxy- making it highly resistant to cracking Cures to a very hard surface- epoxy cannot handle expanding and contracting concrete found outdoors Works as well outdoors as it does indoors. Installation can be done in very challenging environments and perform well Not recommended for outdoor use. Epoxy cannot handle the constantly fluctuating state of outdoor concrete. Polyurea flooring products can be installed in temperatures ranging from -30F to 300F Epoxy can only be properly installed in temperatures above 50 F Installs and cures in one dayInstalls and cures in 6-8 days Polyurea is highly resistant to hot tire pick-upProperly installed industrial grade epoxy is highly resistant to hot tire pick- up Generates almost no odours when curingGenerates strong odours when curing Highly resistant to oil and most contaminants-just wipe up spills.Industrial grade epoxies (not big box store epoxies) are very oil and chemical resistant Polyurea is 100% UV protected so it will not fadeIndustrial grade epoxies do not fade over time Polyurea retains traction when wetProperly installed epoxy retains traction when wet Green Product- Most forms have zero to extremely low VOCsIndustrial grade epoxies have low VOCs. Big box store epoxies have extremely high VOC content Many colour options and is able to coat walls and floors as one surface, which prevents bacteria growth in wall cavities and makes cleaning much easier Many colour options. Epoxy can be used as a single surface coating between floors and walls

POLYUREAPOLYURETHANE Forms a very strong bond to concreteForms a weak bond when applied directly to concrete. Usually used as topcoat coat with an epoxy based primer Lasts indefinitely if applied properly- even in challenging environments Must be top coated every 4-7 years Has elongation properties more than 50 times that of epoxy- making it highly resistant to cracking Polyurethane has elongation properties similar to Polyurea Works as well outdoors as it does indoors. Installation can be done in very challenging environments and perform well Works well indoors and outdoors Polyurea flooring products can be installed in temperatures ranging from -30F to 300F Can be installed in temperatures ranging from 20F to 110F degrees Installs and cures in one dayInstalls and cures in 2-4 days Polyurea is highly resistant to hot tire pick-upModerately susceptible to hot tire pick-up Generates almost no odours when curingGenerates strong odours when curing Highly resistant to oil and most contaminants-just wipe up spills.Highly resistant to oil and most contaminants Polyurea is 100% UV protected so it will not fadeMore resistant to fading than epoxy Polyurea retains traction when wetRetains traction when wet Green Product- Most forms have zero to extremely low VOCsModerate VOC levels Many colour options and is able to coat walls and floors as one surface, which prevents bacteria growth in wall cavities and makes cleaning much easier Many colour options

Polyurea is a Green Product Ultra high strength polyurea coatings help protects human life, the environment, and infrastructure from many of the threats and dangers we face today. Polyurea (100% solids) formulas are environmentally friendly- contain no VOCs and provides quick cure times for a fast return to service- and offer customized physical characteristics (tensile strength, elongation etc.) Once the two products are mixed together it create an inert product that has no release back into the environment.
