Polyurea is quickly becoming a popular choice for secondary spill containment, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does it provide superior protection against potential spills, but it also has numerous other benefits that make it an ideal choice. Polyurea is not only extremely effective in preventing spills from occurring but it can also …
Why Polyurea Is The Ultimate Coating For Secondary Spill Containment Read More »
Polyurea spray coatings provide incredible properties to fragile structures within seconds. If you’ve never heard of it, a YouTube search will show Styrofoam coolers, watermelons, Dixie cups, and many other things indestructible by polyurea by simply “spraying” them with this substance. Polyurea is an extended-chain elastomer made up of isocyanates and amines that form urea …
The recent increase in domestic oil production has focused on the environmental hazards and potential cleanup costs posed by oil spills in drilling, refining, and storage operations and the need for a safeguarding or secondary containment method in addition to the primary containment system. The traditional approach has been to amass native soil into berms …

The continued growth of the pipe coating industry requires and relies upon successfully bridging the current disconnect and working together to deliver quality applied coatings. In the last twenty or thirty years, the oil and gas pipeline coatings industry has seen a lot of changes. From the days of coal tar coatings with relatively little oversight, the …
Advanced flexible polyurea coatings applied directly to the substrate or geotextile liners provide seamless containment for facilities and field applications. Traditional coatings have been too inflexible and not sufficiently elastic to accommodate ground, concrete, or metal substrate movement when used for primary or secondary containment. This defect can lead to cracks or holes forming in …
A Monolithic Approach To Primary And Secondary Containment Using Polyurea Read More »
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 …
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 …
