Advantages of polyurethane coatings

100% solids polyurethane coatings offer very unique handling, performance and environmental advantages. To the end users, this means a greater assurance of achieving the desired result on time and on budget. To the applicator, it means high throughput and fewer callbacks. Imagine, for example, coatings that:

• are 100% solids, having zero or near zero VOC’s
• set at virtually any temperature – winter and summer
• are non flammable, solvent free and as safe as house paint
• are self-priming can be applied in a single multi-pass coat to any dry film thickness
• set in minutes
• can be put into service within hours
• are easily touched up if damaged
• are non-dangerous goods for transportation
• require no post curing, ever.

Accompanying these handling advantages are a number of important performance advantages.

• superior adhesion without using any primer
• resistance to chemical attack
• resistance to gouging and abrasion
• flexibility and resilience
• inertness, freedom from embrittlement
• impermeable
• resistance to disbondment forces
• a number of national and international approvals (UL, NSF, British Gas, etc.)
• a totally monolithic, seamless polymer sheet virtually fused to the substrate.
