Polyurea Technology For Your World

History Of Polyurea Technology

  • Automotive RIM (Reaction Injection Molding)
  • Simultaneous development of polyurea technology – Texaco Chemical Company & Bayer Corp

What is Pure Polyurea?

  • In the 1980’s, an advancement in elastomeric polymer chemistry.
  • Made based on reactive amine terminated resins and high-performance isocyanate prepolymers.
  • These resulting polymer systems possess certain characteristics suitable for rapid process applications.
  • It is not Polyurethane.
  • Polyurethane is catalyst-dependent whereas Polyurea does not.
  • The polyol in polyurethane is moisture-sensitive and blistering results whereas Polyurea are not moisture-sensitive.

Structural Repairs (M) Sdn Bhd is the pioneer of Polyurea applicator in Malaysia

In the early 20s, our Managing Director, Mr Robert Yong identified the value and anticipated the potential market of polyurea technology during his visit to the conference in USA. Hence, he took the first move to bring in the polyurea technology from USA. There were many challenges and issues which have been faced and tackled by him at that time such as acquisition of the technology skill, marketing, costly upkeep etc.
We, Structural Repairs (M) Sdn Bhd have more than 15 years of experience in the polyurea technology and application. We have done more than 30 major projects since Year 2007.
The first job which we had secured in Year 2007 was “Proposed Repair and Remedial Work at Stadium Azlan Shah, Ipoh, Perak”.

Followed by “Proposed Remedial work to police HQ, Ipoh Perak in the same year”.

Why Polyurea today?

Because there is no coating technology other than Polyurea can provide all the following desired characteristics at the same time:
  • Fast, consistent reactivity and cure – in seconds!
  • Moisture and temperature insensitivity during processing
  • Excellent physical properties elastomeric qualities
  • Very low permeability, hydrolytically stable
  • High thermal stability
  • Auto-catalytic
  • No solvents

Benefits

  • No VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions
  • Polyurea is somehow environment-friendly and no harm to human health. Hence, it can apply in the drinking water tank too.
  • Extremely durable & corrosion protective
  • Polyurea is withstands high abrasion, impacts, and extreme mechanical stress.
  • Extremely elastic
  • Elongation up to 1000 % & being extremely elastic, polyurea has great crack bridging ability and abrasion resistance.
  • Chemical Resistant
  • Polyurea can withstand chemicals by applying the appropriate topcoats.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces
  • When it comes to operational temperatures, polyurea offers a wide temperature area. It will cure also in -20°C temperature.
  • Cures within seconds
  • It is walkable within less than a minute, fully cured in 24 hours, immersion tolerant in 1-3 days.

Application Characteristics

The common requirements for polyurea coatings are:
  • Abrasion Resistance
  • Corrosion Protection
  • Waterproofing
  • Chemical, Environment or Atmospheric Resistance
  • Decoration
  • Structural Enhancement

Areas of Application

  • Roof Coatings and repair Wastewater
  • Treatment Lining
  • Sewer Linings and Manholes
  • Freight ship liners
  • Off-shore and Marine Structures
  • Bridges and Tunnels
  • Piers, Wharfs and Sea structures etc.
  • Pipe Protection and repair
  • Tank coatings (e.g. cooling, petrochemical, drinking water etc.)
  • Truck bed liners for containers
  • Architectural Decorations
  • Car park decks
  • Cleanroom use, Hospital flooring
