Polyurea Coatings

Related services

Polyurea coatings offer an advanced coating technology with many advantages over traditional protective coatings such as epoxy, polyurethane, bitumen, fiberglass, paints, lead paints and vinyl esters.

At CSC Services, we offer a one-stop-shop solution for the application of polyurea coatings to the water and power sectors.

Advantages of polyurea coatings

100% polyurea has advantages that make it stand out from other protective coatings including:

Very fast setting (5-20 seconds)
Rapid return to service enabled
Can be applied in sub-zero temperatures
Can be built up to any thickness (mm) in one hit
Very high abrasion resistance
Waterproof
Very high corrosion protection
Very high chemical resistance
No atmospheric or environmental resistance
Comes in most colours for structural enhancement

Polyurea coatings are flexible enough to be used across a range of applications.

Polyurea coatings come in liquid form and can be hot or cold spray applied. They form a very good bond to most structures and materials including:

Typical Uses in water sector

Water reservoirs
Water tanks
Filtration systems
Pipeline coating
Wastewater infrastructures including inlet chambers

Read our latest article here on how polyurea protective coating can be used on wastewater systems to protect against the effects of hydrogen sulphide degradation.

Typical Uses in power sector

CW cooling systems including: drum screens, water boxes, puddle pipes and culverts
Steel storage tanks
Concrete bunds
Pipeline coating
Internal and external pipe-work

How is it applied?

A good protective coating application always comes down to preparation of the substrate or material to which it is applied. Preparation is normally in the form of shot blasting or ultra-high water blasting depending on where the application is to take place and the material it is to be applied to. Application is achieved with the use of our Graco Reactor Hot Spray System. There are cold applied formulas which can be applied using brush, roller or squeegee.

We offer a range of 100% polyurea coatings which have been formulated for different desired physical properties such as:

High elongation
High tensile strength
Hard/soft compound
Varying levels of chemical resistance.
