If you are unfamiliar with polyurea liners or their incredible qualities, you may not be able to truly understand exactly why they can be so beneficial to your silos. Polyurea liners can provide outstanding protection from abrasion and corrosion, as well as waterproof protection for your silos.
First off, you may be asking....What is polyurea?
Polyurea is a fast-drying elastomer which, given the correct surface preparation, can offer superior quick-return-to-service protection for concrete and steel assets. Applied as a water-based plural component spray, our polyurea technologies are VOC and toxin-free and provide outstanding resistance against many forms of natural and chemical corrosion, industrial-grade abrasion, and impact damage.
Polyurea made its debut into the UK performance coatings market in the 1980s and has since been regarded as one of the most successful monolithic membranes for time-critical environments.
-With an elongation factor of 300%, it makes it ideal for bridging dynamic cracks up to 15mm in width.
-Also, it can withstand extreme temperature changes in demanding environments
-It copes with the ground or structural movement for the lifetime of any asset
Dries quickly, allowing your assets to be returned to service in a fraction of the time
There are different grades of polyurea, each suitable for a range of various applications and environments. You can get everything from sprays to fill and repair shallow spalls, joints, and random cracks in horizontal concrete surfaces, to grades which combine aliphatic and aromatic polymer chemistry to coat water features. It means there is a polyurea coating that is just right for your sector.
For harsher environments, you can get blast mitigation polyureas and secondary containment liners for hydrocarbons like gasoline, alcohols and crude oil.
