How does Polyurea Compare to Epoxy and Polyurethane?

Compared to epoxy coatings, polyurea is greatly superior in moisture resistance, UV resistance (for aliphatic coatings), abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, temperature resistance and durability. It also has a quicker cure time.

Compared to polyurethane, polyurea has superior durability, chemical resistance and moisture resistance.

What are the Significant Applications for Polyurea Coatings?

There are numerous applications that benefit from polyurea coatings, including the following:

Automotive industry and material handling

The auto industry has used polyurea coatings for more than three decades. The coating is popular because of its impact resistance and other mechanical properties.

Polyurea provides abrasion protection in mining and construction equipment, and for lining dumpers that are used for abrasive materials such as coal and metallic ores. It protects conveyors and rollers of conveyor systems that transport abrasive coal, stones and metallic ores. 

It is also used for bed liners for large commercial vehicles and material handling trucks.

Pipelines, pumps and irrigation systems

Polyurea provides corrosion and abrasion protection of pipelines that carrying abrasive and corrosive materials. It is applied as a base coating to prevent cathodic disbonding.

It is used as a pump coating to reduce cavitation and erosion, and to improve pump output. (For more on this topic, see Erosion Corrosion: Coatings and Other Preventive Measures.) It is also used to line aquaculture tanks and ponds, and for canal repairs and leakage proofing.
