Polyurea (Hot Plastic Spraying)
Polyurea elastomer hot-spray plastic is ideally suited to total-seal long term material storage.
Polyurea elastomers have been around for about 20 years. Unlike polyurethanes, polyureas do not require a catalyst to accelerate the chemical reaction. This means curing of polyureas is not affected by moisture or temperature.
GCG can offer polyurea hot plastic spray coating services both in-house and on-site.
- Polyurea can be sprayed to almost any thickness in a single application
- Polyurea is touch dry within 7 seconds and can be handled or walked on in 30 seconds
- Polyurea is extremely abrasion and chemical resistant
- Polyurea is 100% solids (0 VOC)
- Polyurea has a service temperature from -60 to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit)
Uses of Polyurea:
- Lining of steel, masonry or wood tanks, silos, pipes and flumes
- Provide protection for rigid urethane foam insulation
- Coat expanded polystyrene board to provide both physical and chemical protection
- Application to geotextiles to form ponds, contain spills, prevent escape of effluents and prevent loss of water or petroleum products.
- Lining of rail freight cars to provide abrasion resistance, improve sanitation and enhanced slip for easier more complete discharge of loads.
- Encapsulation of asbestos and other environmentally undesirable materials
- Sealing of metal building seams and fasteners
- Protection of polyurethane foam roofing from damage by hail, birds, traffic and ice build-up
- Lining of hot asphalt dump trucks
- Can be applied over open-cell flexible foam to seal the surface and provide a good wear surface
- Provides a tough, abrasion, chemical and corrosion-resistant liner for truck beds and under carriages.
- Suitable for automobile and pedestrian traffic deck surfacing and waterproofing
- May be used to repair or replace existing containment liners
- Provides a stable surface for decorative items such as artificial landscapes, stage props, art objects, etc.
- Production of plastic articles by spraying into open (one side) molds
- Lining of cargo holds on ships to provide abrasion resistance or for sanitation and ease of cleaning
- Abrasion resistant surfaces for snowploughs, salt and sand spreaders
- Sealing and corrosion protection of sewer manholes
