What is Polyurethane
Absolute Perfect Protection
Polyurethane is a combination of two chemicals blended in ratio to provide a 100% solid, poly ether based urethane elastomer coating that is specifically formulated to be moisture and abrasion resistant.
It can be sprayed on to almost any surface as a continuous and seamless protective coating, that cures rapidly, leaving no weak points.
Its ease of use and ability to be applied in one continuous operation gives a seamless finish covering corners, edges, depressions, cracks, bumps and complicated surfaces.
Using specialist equipment the product can only be applied by a qualified applicator. Surfaces must be clean and dry before application and in some cases may need to be primed before spraying.
Polyurethane has exceptional qualities of adhesion, durability and water impermeability and is capable of withstanding extreme climatic conditions namely, atmospheric and work-related, thus protecting the coated surface against abrasion, cutting, gouging and corrosion.
The elastic type coating allows for flexibility and movement of substrate avoiding cracks in the lining while its strength provides a tough durable protective coating. The raw material can be pigmented with various colours to suit the application. While the polyurethane coating is UV Stable, certain shades of colours may fade with exposure to UV light.
Polyurethane coatings were originally and still are used in the mining industry to protect a wide range of products, such as the long conveyors and pipes, against abrasion, while moving large quantities of rough minerals and ore. The product has diversified decorative and protective coatings to sound dampening.
It also is impervious to high concentration of acids and solvents, making it ideal for the protection of:
- Load carrying areas of commercial vehicles
- Passenger boat decks - wet areas and luggage compartments
- Water Features
- Floors
- Ship containers
- Sandblasting machinery
- Interior of motor vehicles - Racing cars, Touring 4wd's & Audio competitors.
The flexibility of polyurethane allows the coating to take on the shape of the surface to which it is applied.
Sealing and contouring unusual shapes is not a problem and its strength makes it ideal for bonding different types of surfaces together (no glue needed).
With Sound Dampening qualities the benefits of Polyurethane linings extends to eliminating unwanted resonance and noise caused by rattles & vibration from rough terrain to engine compartments and is even perfect for the car audio enthusiast.
