Cold & Hand Applied Polyurea
Barklay Polymers is pleased to introduce our innovative Cold & Hand Applied Polyurea Coating, a versatile solution designed for superior waterproofing and protection in a wide range of applications. This user-friendly, two-component system can be applied without the need for specialized spray equipment, making it ideal for both small and large projects that require high-performance protection.
Product Features
- Ease of Application: Can be applied by hand using a brush, roller, or trowel, eliminating the need for specialized spray equipment.
- Cold Application: Formulated for application at ambient temperatures, making it suitable for use in various climates without the need for heating.
- Durability: Offers excellent resistance to abrasion, impacts, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting protection.
- Chemical Resistance: Provides robust resistance to a wide array of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents.
- Waterproofing: Forms a seamless, impermeable barrier that prevents water ingress, making it perfect for waterproofing applications.
- Flexibility: Highly flexible, accommodating substrate movements without cracking or peeling.
- UV Stability: High resistance to UV radiation, preventing yellowing and degradation over time when exposed to sunlight.
- Low VOC Content: Environmentally friendly formulation with low volatile organic compounds (VOC), ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Applications
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as grease, oil, and dust. Mechanical preparation is recommended to achieve a suitable profile for coating adhesion.
- Priming: Apply a suitable primer if required, especially on porous or challenging surfaces.
- Mixing: Thoroughly mix the resin and hardener components in the specified ratio. Manual mixing is possible, but using a mechanical mixer ensures consistent blending.
- Application: Apply the mixed coating using a brush, roller, or trowel. Ensure even coverage and desired thickness. Multiple coats may be applied if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
- Curing: Allow the coating to cure fully before exposing it to mechanical stress or chemical exposure. Full curing typically occurs within 24-48 hours.
