What is Polyurea - basic chemistry:
Unique formulation:
- reaction of isocyanate (A) & polyamine (B), terminated -NH2
- no polyols, no hydoxyl termiated -OH
- no catalysts
- no solvents
- no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
|
Isocyanate (Prepolymer):
• Aromatic
- General purpose
- Poor weather/color stability
• Aliphatic
- Generally more expensive
- Good weather/color stability
|
|
Resin (Amin)
• Polyetheramines
- Produced first commercial polyureas in 1980s
- Used extensively
• Polyaspartic amines
- Commercialized in late 1990s
- variety of cure speeds
- Weather/color stability
- Often used as top coat (10-15 mils) on other,
- general purpose coats
