POLYRESYST™ polyurea systems

Lots of shapes. Lots of surfaces. One simple solution.
 Cutting edge
Polyurea spray systems offer many advantages over traditional chemistries,
including polyurethane systems and polyurethane / urea hybrids.
Using our POLYRESYST™ polyurea systems as a formulator, a coating producer,

polyurea technology
or an applicator, you can create spray systems with:
• Quick or slow cure capabilities – depending on requirements
• A predictable, consistent reactivity profile – without the use of catalysts
• A resilience to atmospheric changes during application – e.g. humidity or temperature changes

For super-versatile • 100% solid levels – eliminating / reducing the need for multiple coats
• Low VOC, low emissions – making the systems friendly for users AND the environment

industrial solutions
• Excellent physical properties – including thermal stability up to 150°C
• Good additive compatibility – including pigments, fibers and fillers

The range of POLYRESYST™ polyurea systems comprises many different
grades that are specially designed to accommodate all types of projects.

Consistently fast curing POLYRESYST™ polyurea systems are the solution,

even for the most challenging applications.

This speed permits an effortless vertical or even overhead non-drip

application ensuring you will always get the smoothest results possible.

For touch-ups, or small to medium polyurea projects, POLYRESYST™ low

viscosity polyurea system is suitable for use with compact & portable spray
equipment, enabling easier application.

Under normal equipment operating conditions,

both components of the polyurea spray
system (isocyanate and resin) will react almost
instantaneously; typically, the gel and tack free
times are within 15 seconds, enabling higher
production throughput and a superfast return to
service for coating application work.

The processing and application of spray polyurea coatings
requires the use of specialist, high-pressure, high temperature
impingement mixing equipment. The ability to heat the
individual components of a polyurea coating prior to mixing
and spraying is key – and will reduce system viscosity. This
will improve the mix and lead to the improvement of the
coating performance and appearance. Temperature and
pressure settings can be found on the Product Datasheet.

General health and safety

Potential health and safety hazards associated with the
spray application described above may arise from both the
toxicological properties of the chemical components and the
mechanical aspects of the high-pressure equipment involved.
Before undertaking any spray work, applicators should be
qualified and trained with the safe operation of potential
hazards and risks of the chemicals used and equipment and
should follow all instructions and safety precautions provided
by the chemicals and equipment suppliers.
