WHAT ARE POLYUREAS?S?
Polyureas are synthetic polymers resulting from the reaction of two components, a diisocyanate and a diamine.
Processed “in situ” with high pressure hot-spraying equipment, polyurea creates within second a continuous and elastic membrane that is 100% solids (solvent free and CFC free) with excellent mechanical and chemical resistances.
Its formulation and characteristics depend on the field of application, although all systems share the following properties:
> Polyurea reacts, settles and dries up very quickly. Coated areas are ready to used or for further treatment after just a few hours.
> The reaction speed of its components makes polyurea usable within a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, and even vertical surfaces can be coated, in any thickness and in just one hand. This creates jointless, three-dimensional coatings.
> Polyurea has high thermic resistance and maintains flexibility even under low temperatures.
> Polyurea has great mechanical and chemical resistance and is stable to hydrolysis and insensitive to water.
> Polyurea acts as a electric insulator.
> Polyurea creates flexible, jointless and elastic layers that are adhered to all sorts of well prepared substrates and
> Any thickness can be obtained in just one application.
USES
> One of our most popular solutions is the ACE Floorings product line, which offers continuous, high-traffic resistant polyurea pavements that have great mechanical and chemical resistance as well as long-term durability, both for industrial applications subject to heave machinery transit, as well as parkings for personal and commercial use. These floors are classified as Class 3 Rd>45 (Value 70) CTE - DDBB-SU.
> When it comes to private individuals, one of the most requested solutions is the waterproofing and protection with polyurea of rooftops, terraces and balconies, both in new projects and restoration ones.
> We also offer polyurea coatings that have been specifically developed for the protection of industrial equipment and structures that are subject to corrosive environments and processes, suchs as those found in waste-water treatment plants, mining operations or structures in high seas.
> Waterproofing and restoration of swimming pools with polyurea.
> ACE polyurea systems also allow us to create clean room pavements for hospitals, supermerkets, agro-food industry...
