Let’s start with some general facts: Many people are well aware that our water usage is increasing, and at the same time, our water availability is decreasing. Many water treatment plants available today have been in service for over 30 years, and our infrastructure is beginning to deteriorate. Choices of building new facilities or retrofitting …
Wastewater and sewage processing is an expensive, however important endeavor for every neighborhood. Keeping your wastewater treatment infrastructure, particularly concrete and metal water processing tanks is vital to keeping these facilities operational for several years without interruption. Among the very best ways to secure your water treatment facility is to use advanced polyurea protective coatings …

Today we’re going to go over how to do a proper crosshatch adhesion test. Typically you will receive a crosshatch adhesion kit that will include the tape, the crosshatch device, and a small brush. In some cases, you will also receive a magnifying glass. To start, you will take this Crossette device, and going down …
Steel surfaces are one of the common surfaces that Polyurea is applied to other than concrete and these steel surfaces need to be treated to prevent corrosion. We are always finding corrosion issues, and it costs the U.S. government billions upon billions of dollars each year. So it’s a fact, coatings are used to fight …
In 1173, the foundations for the famous Tower of Pisa were laid on the ground too soft to support its weight properly. The resulting lean steadily progressed until the building’s survival was so at the risk that comprehensive renovation work was required to improve the tilt and safeguard the tower’s future partially. In flooring renovation …

New polyurea coatings being tested by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory can create a rubber surface that not only stops corrosion but improves the ballistic protection of armored amphibious assault vehicles. The reported advance could provide a quantum leap in shielding the U.S. Marine Corps’ AAV fleet from two critical threats at once, developers say. …
In the ever-expanding polyurea coatings market, the margin of error is superlatively narrower than for conventional coatings. And while opportunities abound for contractors to jump on the polyurea bandwagon successfully, the growing variety of applications and the superior properties of sprayed polyurea need particular attention given to the dispensing machinery involved. The following explanation can …
From warehouses to retail and supermarkets, polyurea exceeds traditional epoxy, silicone, and polyurethane materials to fill and seal concrete slab control joints. Control joints, also called contraction joints by the American Concrete Institute, are planned gaps that allow a crack to occur at a vulnerable area to prevent random cracking. Concrete joints and their filler …
Polyurea technology is not new to the pipelining industry, with basic applications dating back more than 30 years. Much of this work was performed by hand spraying or simple robotic systems for individual joint segments of pipe. In the United States alone, it is estimated that over $1 trillion will be required over the next …
