What is a Polyurea Coating and How Long Does It Last?

Polyurea is a durable, long-lasting, and highly versatile protective coating used in construction and building applications. It was initially used in the auto industry after its development in the late 1980s. Since then, its use has spread across multiple commercial, industrial, and residential applications. At Garage Floor Coating of MN, we offer polyurea coating as an exceptional form of concrete floor protection.

What Is a Polyurea Coating?

Polyurea coating consists of two major parts, a base and hardener. These elements are the result of a chemical reaction involving the combination of amine resin and isocyanate. The reaction from this combination is very fast and requires the quick and professional application of polyurea coating using state-of-the-art technology. The very high tensile strength of polyurea makes it one of the strongest materials on the market for providing concrete floor protection.

How Long Does Polyurea Coating Last?

The durability of polyurea allows it to last for decades. It is also a more cost-effective option than some other floor restoration and maintenance solutions. You can expect polyurea coating to make your concrete floors look brand new for many years to come. If polyurea coating is maintained and care for properly, it can last for more than 30 years before requiring repair, touch up, or replacement.

Additional Benefits of Polyurea Coating

Once polyurea completely cures, it provides a durable, flexible, solid, yet smooth surface that is easy to maintain and clean. It can withstand power washing and sanitization tasks, making it ideal for healthcare and food manufacturing applications.

Compared to epoxy and polyurethane, polyurea is the strongest. It is also highly flexible, able to endure wide temperature variations. This coating also offers high resistance to impact, chemicals, and abrasion, and may be applied any time of the year.

Polyurea coating is an excellent waterproofing substance suitable for use on various structures, such as concrete garage floors, parking garages, balconies, roofing systems, terraces, and wastewater plants. It is also effective for waterproofing polyurethane foam.

Polyurea is also safe for humans and the environment during and after its application.
